Long was accompanied by Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
Nguyen Van Toan, head of the Party Committee’s Organisation Commission Bui Thi
Minh, and representatives from departments, agencies and localities in Hoa
Binh.
The delegation is scheduled to popularise Hoa Binh’s potential, advantages,
investment environment, investment attraction mechanisms and policies, products
under the "One Commune-One Product” programme, and tourist sites to Thai investors.
As part of their trip, the officials visited the Vietnamese Embassy in the
country on July 15.
From July 17-20, they will hold working sessions with authorities of Bangkok
city, the Thailand-Vietnam Business Council, business associations, and big
groups of Thailand, and organise a conference on investment, trade and tourism
promotion in the capital city. This will be an opportunity for Thai
organisations, businesses, and investors to explore investment cooperation, and
import-export opportunities, and develop tours to Hoa Binh.
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.
