Vietnam’s agricultural export results in the first two months of 2025 show that rice, vegetables, fruits and fruits decreased, while items such as: wooden furniture and forestry products, coffee, seafood, rubber, cashew nuts… increased sharply. According to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Phung Duc Tien, one of the important solutions to achieve the export target is that the agricultural sector must promote deep processing.
Deputy Minister Phung Duc Tien: To achieve the growth target in 2025 as well as the following years of the agricultural sector, science and technology is the first solution. Currently, science and technology account for 55% of the added value of the entire sector. We have Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation, therefore, we must promote research and application of science and technology in agriculture in a stronger, more drastic and effective way. Specifically, science and technology must be included in the seed production process, cultivation process, plant protection, veterinary disease prevention… associated with circular agriculture, digital transformation in agriculture, traceability, transparency so that our agricultural products continue to affirm their name and value in the market.
To increase the value of agricultural products, it is also necessary to continue to promote investment and deep processing. This is the room for us to promote, realize the export target in 2025 and create a premise for the period 2026-2030.
