Agricultural export turnover reaching over 55 billion USD in 2024 is completely within the reach of Vietnamese agriculture.
The agricultural position receives the attention of the entire society as it enters the new spring of Giap Thin 2024. On the 6th day of Tet, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and the Government delegation experienced the model of plating machine transplant trays on the wing. footprint-free field in Hai Duong province. The close and friendly image of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh among farmers not only brings many positive emotions to the community, but also directly proves the position that agriculture really contributes to. Vietnam.
In 2023, although the general economic context faced many difficulties, the growth rate of the agricultural sector still achieved positive results, with an export value of more than 53 billion USD. The plan to bring the export value of agricultural products to over 55 billion USD in 2024 is completely within the strong emerging potential of Vietnamese agriculture.
Based on the foundation of wet rice civilization, Vietnamese agriculture increasingly proves its supporting role in Vietnamese people’s lives during integration. Prices of many agricultural products such as coffee, durian, pepper, vegetables… have increased in the market, helping farmers’ income improve significantly. In particular, Vietnamese rice has become an exciting bright spot. Thanks to continuously improving quality, the price of Vietnamese rice has risen to 600 USD/ton. At the International Festival of Vietnam Rice Industry 2023 held in Hau Giang, many international partners expressed their trust and signed contracts to order Vietnamese rice products.
The successes that affirmed Vietnam’s agricultural position in 2023 are not a coincidence. Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW on agriculture, farmers, and rural areas until 2030, with a vision to 2045, clearly stated the concept of agriculture as a national advantage and a pillar of the economy. Developing agriculture effectively, integrating multi-value in the direction of improving added value and competitiveness, associated with promoting the development of processing industry, post-harvest preservation and developing the agricultural product market globally. domestically and internationally, contributing to ensuring food safety, national food security, and protecting the ecological environment. At the same time, strongly shift thinking from agricultural production to agricultural economic development linked to market needs. Promoting the advantages of regions, regions and localities, organizing agricultural production and business according to the value chain, based on the foundation of science – technology and innovation.
Thus, the path to prosperity of Vietnamese agriculture resonates between the will of the Party and the hearts of the people. The main links that create Vietnam’s agricultural position from farming, animal husbandry, aquaculture, forestry, and salt production are all considered for all advantages and disadvantages to find a sustainable development path. Farmers’ diligence and creativity must receive a commensurate response, which is the core criterion when promulgating each policy, when implementing each policy, and when implementing each decision.
Thousands of years of experience in rural Vietnam is supported by modern technology to gradually build green agriculture, organic agriculture, and circular agriculture. On a land still filled with ancestral warmth, today’s farmers are no longer impatient to “come back and follow their friends to dig mountains to block the river” but appreciate every green color that exists for its cool beauty. Looking from the spring of Giap Thin, if farmers in the Central Highlands quickly change crops to suit upland fields and embrace the dream of greatness, then farmers in the Mekong Delta are excited with the project of 1 million hectares of quality rice. High quality and low emissions. A new problem is beginning to be thought of by farmers, which is the position of agriculture not only with agricultural harvests but also with carbon credit benefits. Phu Tho palm hills, Binh Phuoc cashew gardens, Ben Tre coconut rows, Ca Mau cajuput forests… all directly participate in the Olympics to promote future development.
Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW on agriculture, farmers, and rural areas to 2030, with a vision to 2045, also identifies farmers as the subject and center of the agricultural and agricultural economic development process. villages and building new rural areas. Associate the building of the farming class with agricultural development and the process of industrialization and rural urbanization. The highest goal in agricultural and rural development is to comprehensively improve the material and spiritual life of farmers and rural residents. Therefore, the position of Vietnamese agriculture depends on Vietnamese farmers themselves.
It’s time to take a different look at Vietnamese farmers. They are absolutely not rustic and rough people. In the process of intellectualizing farmers, they are proud of their hard-working hands, kind hearts and proud eyes. Vietnamese farmers refuse to use tricks to make money. The bowl of sweet, fragrant rice after every harvest is always glistening with considerate sweat. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of fame and fortune and many vile short-term schemes that threaten social stability, we must be even more grateful for the honest stance of farmers in the fields, morning and afternoon, rain and shine.
Perhaps there is nothing to worry about, when repeating a truth, the position of Vietnamese agriculture is the position of Vietnamese farmers. The dreams of Vietnamese farmers in the high mountains of the Northwest, fishing villages on the Central Coast or small rural hamlets in the South all aim at the good values of Vietnam. People who sow seeds, people who spread nets, people who make salt, people who raise pigs, people who keep forests… all preserve the quality of transparency and progress for Vietnamese agriculture.
More than anyone else, to have a position in Vietnamese agriculture, every farmer understands that wealth sometimes depends on luck and fate, while kindness must be fostered by an attitude of choice and diligence. spirit of continuous and persistent cultivation. Therefore, Vietnam’s position is starting from the beauty of Vietnamese farmers.
