(HBO) – Striving to maximise advantages brought about by free trade agreements so as to expand export markets, especially for high added-value products to markets that are on the course of prompt recovery after COVID-19, Hoa Binh posted positive results in exports-imports in the first quarter of 2022.
Export revenues hit 361.85 million USD in the

Vietnam garment-textile company in Hoa Binh’s Luong Son industrial park strived
to restore production to contribute to the provincial export revenues.
Export turnover of electronic products was
estimated at 208.12 million USD, expanding 101.01 percent against the same
period last year and accounting for 57.5 percent of total revenues.
Garment-textile raked in 106.23 million USD in Q1, up 52.28 percent and making
up 29.35 percent.
It is worthy of note that the export of farm
produce also saw recovery, but only made up 5 percent in the total exports and
did not align with the province’s potential. Hoa Binh’s products were mainly
shipped to traditional markets of the US, Europe, China, the Republic of Korea,
Japan, Russia and ASEAN nations.
Also in the quarter, the province imported
goods worth nearly 272.47 million USD, rising 72.56 percent compared to the
same period last year and hitting 24.84 percent of the year’s plan./.
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.
