Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Council; and Bui Van Khanh,
Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial

officials of Hanoi and the provinces of Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen and Ha
Nam, along with representatives of the Central Retail Vietnam group, Big C
Thang Long supermarket, along with outstanding businesses, cooperatives and
farming households of Hoa Binh.
The fair features 22 booths of 18 businesses and
cooperatives from the province, showcasing a wide range of high-quality
products like Cao Phong oranges, Tan Lac red-flesh and green-skin pomelos,
Luong Son and Yen Thuy vegetables and fruits, shrimp and fish farmed on the Da
River, Lac Son chickens, and tea products.
In his opening speech, Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh said Hoa Binh pledges to create the
best possible conditions for businesses and investors to explore cooperation
opportunities and make long-term investment, especially in the production,
harvesting, processing, preservation, sale and export of agricultural products.
The province hopes that in the coming time, it
will receive more coordination from ministries, central agencies, the Hanoi
People’s Committee and Central Retail Vietnam to organise supply – demand
connecting activities to boost the sale of those products in the domestic
market and seek ways to export them, thereby helping to raise local farmers’
income and develop production.
Addressing the event, Deputy Minister of
Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai said the fair is part of a series of activities
helping to boost the sale of localities’ specialities launched by the Ministry
of Industry and Trade in 2018. It creates a chance for Hoa Binh to continue
introducing its unique and high-quality specialties to Hanoi’s consumers via
Big C Thang Long. It is also hoped to help the province distribute local
products via the network of Central Retail Vietnam, which currently owns 37
supermarkets nationwide, and the group’s retail system in other countries.
At the opening ceremony, Big C and Hoa Binh
signed memoranda of understanding on the sale of safe and high-quality citrus
fruits and agro-aquatic products. The Hoa Binh parties were the Lac Thuy
chicken farming cooperative (with Lac Thuy chickens that obtained the One
Commune, One Product recognition), the Hoa Binh agricultural cooperative (with
Luong Son goat products), the Dong Lai cooperative for clean agricultural
product production and business (with Tan Lac red-flesh pomelos and Hoa Binh
tangerines), the Ha Phong cooperative (with Cao Phong oranges), and the Cuong Thinh
Construction Co. Ltd (with fish farmed on the Da River).
The fair is scheduled to last through November

Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.
Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers. The remaining workforce is engaged in informal jobs, works in enterprises outside the province, or contributes to agro-forestry-fisheries. Additionally, around 3,000 workers are employed abroad.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2767/QD-UBND announcing the rankings of departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city in the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR) and the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) in 2024.
The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
In 2024, the total state budget revenue of Hoa Binh Province is estimated at approximately VND 6,930 billion, achieving 183% of the Government’s target, 126% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council, and 145% compared to the same period last year.
In 2024, Hoa Binh province has shown signs of improvement in attracting investment and developing enterprises.
