Vietstock – With exports of US$26 billion, Vietnam is the world’s agricultural product deep processing center

The goal of the crop development strategy is to achieve more than 26% of product exports billion dollars. Strive to make Vietnam a world agricultural deep processing center by 2050.

Vice Prime Minister Chen Liuguang has just signed a decision approving a crop development strategy to 2030 and looking ahead to 2050.

The overall goal of this strategy is to develop agriculture into an economic and technological sector with complete categories, specialization, and highly competitive products, ensure food safety, consolidate national food security and other economic needs, and increase export value;

At the same time, we will effectively utilize resources, protect the ecological environment, effectively prevent and control natural disasters and adapt to climate change, create employment opportunities, improve farmers’ income and quality of life, and contribute to social stability and national defense security.

The specific goals are that by 2030, the average growth rate of crop output value will be 2.2-2.5%/year; the average growth rate of the added value of the crop processing industry will be 8-10%/year.

The proportion of production areas practicing good agricultural practices (VietGAP and equivalent standards…) is 10-15%, and organic farming is 1%. The proportion of the output value of crop products produced through cooperation and joint forms reaches 30-35%.

The export turnover of crop products reached more than 26 billion dollars. The average output value of cultivated land reaches 150-160 million VND/hectare.

By 2050, agriculture will become a leading modern technological economic industry in the region and even the world. Horticultural products are produced in accordance with high-tech agriculture, organic agriculture, food safety, and environmental friendliness. Vietnam is the world’s deep processing center for agricultural products.

The strategy identifies concentrated planning areas to develop rice production, along with simultaneous investment in transportation, irrigation and logistics infrastructure.

The stable rice planting area is 3.56 million hectares, including 3 million hectares of wet rice planting area, and the rice production exceeds 35 million tons, becoming the core consumer demand, use, processing, storage and export to ensure national food security and meet food security. Among them, high-quality specialty rice accounts for 85-90%, and rice for processing accounts for 10-15%.

In terms of vegetables, we will expand planting area, varieties and seasonal diversification to meet the rapidly growing domestic and export consumer demand. At the same time, clusters integrating production, processing and consumption should be built in places and regions with large vegetable production. Develop safe vegetable production areas with a focus on ensuring traceability of origins.

For coffee, the strategy also decided to quickly promote the issuance of growing area codes and traceability of origin. Promote the processing and diversification of coffee products, especially deep processing, to add value and create differences in Vietnamese coffee, while establishing and developing Vietnamese coffee brands.

The strategy also clearly puts forward the goals, tasks and solutions for rubber and pepper trees in our country.

Reorganize production, focus on leveraging the potential and advantages of ecological zones, and combine the development of processing plants and consumer markets to form a key fruit production area. Focus on developing mango, banana, dragon fruit, pineapple and other advantageous fruit trees with consumer markets…
