(HBO) - Hoa Binh province will have 21 industrial clusters with a total area of 866,605 hectares under an approved planning scheme. Currently, 16 out of the 21 industrial clusters have been approved by the Provincial People's Committee to set up, covering 683 hectares, with total funding of over 4.86 trillion VND.
Tien Tien Industrial Cluster (Quang Tien commune, Hoa Binh city) is
accelerating construction of technical infrastructure to lure investments.
The combined investment in infrastructure development at the industrial clusters
reached 187 billion VND last year, raising the accumulative amount to date to
about 600 billion VND.
According to the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, there are
currently 34 secondary production and business projects at the industrial clusters
worth some 3.11 trillion VND.
Statistics showed that last year, these clusters generated some 1.7 trillion
VND in industrial production value, and created jobs for 1,300 labourers.
Pham Van Bao, Head of the Industrial Management Division at the provincial
Department of Industry and Trade, pointed to roadblocks in site clearance,
compensation and resettlement.
However, he said, remarkable outcomes have been achieved, as reflected in the
increasing number of secondary projects at the industrial clusters, and
improvements in investment attraction.
To lure more investment projects, especially at the industrial clusters, it is
a must to step up the communications work and review planning schemes of the
industrial clusters in order to make timely adjustments and supplements, the
official continued.
Bao also emphasised the need to better manage the industrial parks to
facilitate investment in infrastructure, production and business, and suggested
mobilising all resources for infrastructure development at the industrial
clusters, with priorities given to environmental pollution handling, and the
communications work./.

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.
