Nguyen Trung Hieu, head of the trade management
bureau at the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, said the department
proposed the provincial People’s Committee direct Hoa Binh city and districts
to drastically implement the set tasks.
Attention was paid to stepping up the
communication work, intensifying production management, improving processing
and preservation capacity and diversifying promotion activities, focusing on
the markets of Hanoi and other adjacent localities, while expanding to other
markets, both at home and abroad.
The Department of Agriculture and Rural
Development also tightened its production management and granted VietGap and
GlobalGap certificates to production facilities. As many as 28 facilities have
received such certificates so far, and 23 products won the OCOP (One Commune
One Product) title with three stars and more.
During the COVID-19 spread, promotion activities
were held online. However, after the pandemic was brought under control, Hoa
Binh organised and joined various fairs, conferences and festivals.
Hieu said Hoa Binh has utilised
information-technology, digital transformation and e-commerce in the promotion
activities, noting that up to 2,853 agricultural products were put up for sale
on e-commerce platforms in the year, with over 215 tonnes sold.
Apart from the domestic market, the province
also enhanced trade promotion abroad. As a result, 14 facilities have exported
products to China, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, the Republic of Korea, the EU, the
Netherlands, Germany and the UK, up six from 2021. /.

The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.

Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
