The province’s economic growth rate was quite good, compared to other provinces in the region, ranking 6th out of 14 provinces in the region and 18th out of 63 provinces and cities nationwide.

At the same time, agricultural production witnessed positive growth. The entire province cultivated 106,360.13 hectares of annual crops, an increase of 3.63% in comparison to 2023.

During the year of 2024, local Party organizations and authorities at all levels in Điện Biên Province effectively implemented policies to ensure people’s life quality, create jobs, and increase income for labors, significantly contributing to improving the living standards of the people.
