The implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural development for the 2021–2025 period in Hoa Binh has so far achieved significant progress, with 110 communes fulfilling Criterion No. 13 on production organisation and rural economic development, accounting for 85.3% of the province’s total.
Through linked production
and distribution chains, traditional brocade weaving products from Hang Kia and
Pa Co communes in Mai Chau district are sold well, raising local people's incomes.
Mai Chau district has excelled in meeting
Criterion No. 13, with its all 15 communes achieving the standard. This success
is partially attributed to local efforts to develop e-commerce systems, which
create favourable conditions for businesses, cooperatives, and producers to
join production-consumption linkages, facilitating goods circulation and
production. Related initiatives have initially led to the development of
websites and QR codes by businesses and cooperatives, financial support from
the district for those adopting scientific and technological advancements in
production and marketing, and the introduction of high-quality local products
to supermarket chains and e-commerce platforms.
Localities across the province are focusing on
implementing Criterion No. 13 and Component No. 3 of the national target
programme, with Hoa Binh further prioritising agricultural restructuring and
promoting the "One Commune, One Product" (OCOP) programme.
It is also an increasing number of local
economic models involving production and product consumption linkages.
According to the local rural development sub-department, these models have
optimised resource utilisation, improved economic efficiency, and boosted
incomes for local residents, while paving the way for sustainable agricultural
growth.
Currently, the province boasts 158 OCOP products
with 3-star and 4-star ratings. The diversification of distribution channels,
particularly the development of e-commerce, has met market demands, enabling
localities to expand production, enhance concentrated material zones, and
strengthen the agricultural sector. These efforts align with the broader goal
of agricultural restructuring.
In the time to come, the province plans to
intensify the harmonious implementation of production and rural economic
development solutions, aiming to meet and surpass the key targets set by the
national target programme.
Along with cultivation following good agricultural practices, the 3T Cao Phong Agricultural Cooperative (3T Farm), located in Cao Phong town, Cao Phong district, focuses on researching and applying scientific techniques to produce processed products from fresh oranges. This not only helps diversify products but also promotes sustainable consumption while maximising the value of the fresh oranges grown in Cao Phong.

Land-related revenue remains a crucial source in the locality’s state budget plan in 2025.
With its vast forest land, Da Bac district has focused on reforestation and developing forest economy over the past few years to improve livelihoods and increase income for local residents.
In 2025, Hoa Binh’s banking sector will focus on providing capital to drive production and business activities. Credit institutions in the province are committed to meeting the loan demands of businesses and individuals, fostering economic growth.
According to the Tan Lac District’s Branch of the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies (VBSP), in January 2025, the bank disbursed nearly 18 billion VND to more than 300 poor households and policy beneficiaries. Notably, the employment solution loan program had the highest disbursement, with over 5.1 billion VND, helping 81 employees access the capital to create jobs and develop their economies.
