(HBO) – Over the past years, the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh has issued many documents on scientific-technological development. They include the Action Programme No. 40-Ctr/BCSD dated February 18, 2016 of the Party Committee of the provincial People’s Committee on the implementation of the resolution of the provincial Party Organisation Congress for 2015-2020, and the project on scientific-technological development for the 2016-2020 period, with an orientation towards 2030.

Scientific-technological tasks at the provincial level
focus on urgent issues and requirements in reality. The most noteworthy in the
field of social sciences and humanities is the project on building the input
method editor of the Muong language in service of the preservation and
promotion of the Muong culture in Hoa Binh province. In the sphere of natural
sciences and technology, projects target the reasonable use and exploitation of
natural resources and environmental protection, such as the project on GIS
technology application in building e-maps managing irrigated areas in Cao Phong
and Luong Son districts. In education-training and public health care, there is
a project on studying chemical elements and evaluating biological activities of
compounds separated from Xa den (scientifically known as Celastrus hindsii Benth).
In agriculture, tasks aim to speed up the
scientific-technological application in producing livestock and plant varieties
that have good quality and are resistant to pestilent insects and suitable with
local ecology, looking towards the development of concentrated goods production
areas. The province has developed production areas of Cao Phong orange, chayote,
pomelo, Luong Son snake gourd, Son Thuy longan, hat doi (scientifically known
as Michelia tonkinensis) in Lac Son, and Tan Lac and Mai Chau garlic. The
province has also worked to build brand name for fish and shrimp of Hoa Binh
Lake.
Since 2013, the province has implemented nine projects
worth 87.9 billion VND sourced from scientific-technological development fund.
Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
