The Vietnamese Government, ministries and localities always welcome advanced and environmental-friendly waste treatment technologies at reasonable prices, Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung has said.

Deputy PM Dung made the statement while receiving Sebastian
Rose, sales director of Germany’s
INTEC company, which has 30-year experience in industrial waste treatment, in Hanoi on June 11.
After being introduced to the German
company’s technology to turn solid waste into gas and energy, the Deputy PM
lauded the INTEC’s idea of investing in a waste-to-energy plant in Vietnam, saying
the country is in need of modern and suitable waste treatment technologies to
protect the environment.
However, he held that modern technology
is normally expensive and not suitable to the condition of Vietnam as most
of the technologies require waste classification.
Currently, waste in Vietnam is
basically treated by burying, which is harmful to the environment. Meanwhile,
the pilot of other technologies following the models applied in many countries
was not successful due to failure in waste classification, he noted, adding
that high price is another concern of Vietnam.
He asked the Ministry of Science and
Technology to coordinate with other ministries and sectors to verify and assess
economic-technical indications of the waste-to-energy technology of INTEC
company.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade was
assigned to work with relevant ministries and agencies to calculate the price
of power provided by solid waste-to-energy plants.
Deputy PM Dung also underscored the need to
design specific projects for pilot implementation, while reminding enterprises
to consider the possibility of producing lines and equipment domestically to
reduce costs.

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.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
