Hoa Binh is implementing a series of solutions in order to early start work on and finish important projects, focusing on accelerating the progress of site clearance, resettlement construction, conversion of forest and rice land, and implementing related procedures in accordance with regulations. The province is developing a detailed plan to remove difficulties for each project to realise the goal of capital disbursement. The effectiveness of directing investment projects has been made a criterion to evaluate the performance of agencies, units and their heads.

Accordingly, Hoa Binh is focusing on 14 key projects. This year, it aims to start construction of the second phase of the Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh road and the Hoa Binh - Moc Chau (Son La) expressway; and complete the infrastructure of Yen Quang, Binh Phu, Nhuan Trach and Lac Thinh industrial parks (IPs) and some industrial clusters.
To date, construction has started on three out of six projects funded by public investment, including the road linking the Hoa Binh - Hanoi region with the Hoa Binh - Moc Chau expressway, the road connecting Luong Son town with Xuan Mai (Hanoi), and the one linking Tran Hung Dao street to Dan Chu ward, Hoa Binh city and the National Highway 6. Work has also begun on two out of eight projects not using the State budget, namely the Huong Binh cable car line in Phu Nghia commune, and the Xuan Thien Hoa Binh cement and light powder production project, both in Lac Thuy district.
With the spirit of building a detailed plan to remove difficulties for each job and each project to focus on directing and completing the set progress, the province has paid attention to directing key projects to start construction soon, thus creating confidence for investors, and creating strong momentum for socio-economic development of the province.
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.
