(HBO) – Hoa Binh province has a special geographical location as it is the northwestern gateway to Hanoi and linked with the capital city via Hoa Lac – Hoa Binh Road and National Highway 6. In the future, it will connect with northwestern provinces via a system of modern expressways. The synchronous investment in transport infrastructure and provincial leaders’ wisdom and dynamism will create a solid foundation for Hoa Binh to make breakthroughs in socio-economic development and investment attraction in the time to come.
Hoa Binh 3 Bridge, inaugurated at the year’s beginning, has helped
perfect the transport infrastructure network of Hoa Binh city.
On the stretch of the Da River in Hoa Binh city,
the contractor is racing against time to build Hoa Binh 2 Bridge, which is
expected to have its final sections joined by the end of 2020. Once put into
use, this bridge will, together with other bridges spanning the Da River, help
perfect local transport infrastructure, ease traffic congestion in the downtown
of Hoa Binh city, and become a landmark of the urban landscape here.
Based on the local transport planning for 2020,
with a vision to 2030, a number of facilities important to the province’s security-defence
and socio-economic development have been included in the medium-term public
investment plan for 2016 – 2020 and now under construction, such as the road
linking Ho Chi Minh Road with National Highways 12B and 1, upgrades to
Provincial Road 435, Hoa Binh 2 Bridge, the road linking National Highway 6
with Chi Lang Road, and Trang Bridge.
Thanks to the effective attraction and use of
domestic and foreign investment in transport infrastructure, between 2017 and
2019, Hoa Lac – Hoa Binh Road, built under the BOT format, and Hoa Binh 3
Bridge, funded with official development assistance (ODA) capital, were
completed, helping with the synchronous development of transport infrastructure
and the province’s connectivity with nearby localities.
In the time ahead, Hoa Binh – Moc Chau
Expressway will be built, marking a new stride in transport infrastructure
development and being an important facility serving local socio-economic
development.
Aside from arterial transport facilities, Hoa
Binh province has also paid attention to the rural transport network in recent
years. It has effectively carried out emulation movements to encourage the
local populace to engage in building rural roads and associated the development
of rural transport infrastructure with the implementation of the national
target programmes on new-style rural area building and sustainable poverty
reduction./.
Hoa Binh province’s economy posted an impressive Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) growth rate of 12.67% in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 12.76% year-on-year increase, the highest rate recorded since the beginning of the current tenure, according to the provincial Statistics Office. This robust growth reflects years of strategic groundwork and sets a strong foundation for the province’s annual growth target of over 10%.
With a focus on cash crop farming with science - technology application and brand building, Lac Thuy district is gradually increasing production value, improving people's life quality, and laying the foundation for sustainable socio-economic development.
In recent years, the economic development model "Hoa Binh Earthworm Farm” run by Mr. Bui Van Dang in Co Giua Hamlet, My Thanh Commune (Lac Son district) has not only brought stable economic value but it is also environmentally friendly, helping to protect and reduce pollution, contributing to the construction of a green and sustainable agriculture.
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.
