Vietnam’s agricultural exports surged 27.8% year-on-year to US$21.4 billion in the first six months, or 13.7% of the country’s total export turnover.

Vietnam will intensify investment in eco-farming, low-carbon and high-tech cultivation as sustainable agriculture and food security are the pillars of its development strategy by 2030.

The plan matters a lot to Vietnam as the country pursues climate change targets and promotes rice trade with strategic partners amid global food concerns.
