Agriculture sector is striving to reach annual GDP growth rate of 3.5-3.8 percent during the 2010-2015 period
Hanoi (VNA) – The agriculture sector is striving to reach an annual GDP growth
rate of 3.5-3.8 percent during the 2010-2015 period.
At the sector’s patriotic emulation conference in Hanoi on August 24, the
Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Diep Kinh Tan said that the
sector should focus on building a modern and sustainable agricultural sector which
is capable of producing high quality and competitive commodities in large volumes,
while ensuring the nation’s food security.
The sector plans to achieve an annual production growth of 4-4.5 percent and an
increase in export turnover of 6.5-7 percent to 21 billion USD per year. It will
attempt to increase forest coverage to 43 percent, realise a seed crop output of
47 million tonnes, including 40 million tonnes of rice, and an annual seafood
output of 4 million tonnes. Farmers per-capita incomes are also expected to reach
20 million VND per annum.
According to the deputy minister, agriculture is the economic sector to suffer the
most from climate change, disasters, epidemics and international competition,
while the amount of useable land and number of workers are diminishing.
To reach this target, Tan said that the sector has put forward a number of
solutions on science and technology, marketing, human resources development and
investments in technical infrastructure and production.
During the 2006-2010 period, the agriculture and rural development sector made
many important achievements in rice, other industrial crops, animal husbandry and
seafood production, earning between 50-200 million VND, even billions of VND, per
hectare per year. Its added value rose by 3.4 percent per year compared with the
Government’s target of 3-3.2 percent.
Also in the reviewed period, Vietnam exported almost 25 million tonnes of rice
worth more than 10 billion VND and ensured its food security. The nation exported
more than 20.6 billion USD of seafood and its forest coverage has risen from 38
percent in 2006 to 39.8 percent in 2009.
From 2006-2009, the sector approved 160 ODA projects totalling almost 1.42 billion
USD, of which non-refundable aid made up 45 percent.
A number of Vietnam ’s agro-forestry and fisheries trademarks are now firmly
established in domestic and foreign markets such as Mekong Delta tra fish, Vinh
Long province’s Nanh Chon rice, Dien Bien rice, Nam Roi grapefruit and Buon Ma
