Vietnam must shift its approach to agriculture, emphasizing green development, growth, and consumption. The country should also enhance international cooperation to secure financial support and technology transfer, aiming to transform its agriculture into a green, low-carbon model and boost its competitiveness in the global market.
After nearly 40 years of innovation, Vietnam's agriculture sector has always been a cornerstone of its economy. In 2023, Vietnam was among the top 15 global agricultural exporters with a US$26.4 billion export value, up over 17% from the previous year. Despite this success, challenges in sustainability and productivity remain. Vietnam is addressing these by integrating high-tech and smart agriculture solutions for more sustainable practices.
