The Centre for Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion of Hoa Binh province on December 28 held a conference to sum up its operation in 2023 and put forward tasks for 2024, with Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Chuong attending and giving a speech.
Director of the provincial Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Centre Pham Anh Quy hands over the certificate of merit from the Chairman of the provincial People's Committee to the collective with outstanding achievements in the emulation movement for two consecutive years.
In 2023, the centre proactively built programmes and plans to carry out assigned tasks, including consulting the provincial Party Committee and People's Committee on successfully and effectively holding the province’s 2023 Investment Promotion Conference with the participation of more than 500 delegates and 62 business associations of provinces and cities; investment, trade and tourism promotion and economic diplomacy programmes in Thailand and the UK; and conferences to help remove difficulties for businesses and investors.
For trade and tourism promotion, the centre coordinated with departments and sectors to organise activities to guide and support enterprises and cooperatives to participate in trade connectivity conferences and trade fairs inside and outside the province to introduce and promote local specialties and traditional products, support businesses in sales promotion, and assist them in expanding markets, finding partners and developing production and business.
Speaking at the event, Vice Chairman Chuong asked the centre to continue to closely follow the assigned tasks and solutions to well consult the provincial People's Committee on organising promotion activities in some European countries to promote the potential, strengths, and investment opportunities in Hoa Binh province, and attract more investors to implement projects in the fields of high technology, information technology, high quality services, health, education and agriculture.
He requested the centre to step up trade promotion inside and outside the province to support businesses and cooperatives to boost production and business, and expand investment in production development, as well as product consumption markets.
On this occasion, the centre handed over a certificate of merit of the Chairman of the provincial People's Committee to a collective with excellent achievements for two consecutive years, and conferred the provincial-level emulation fighter title to two individuals with outstanding achievements in the emulation movement in the 2021 – 2023 period.
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.
