In 2023, the output of some agricultural products were high, meeting the market demand. Specifically, the province’s rice output was 22,100 tonnes, up 1.82% against the previous year, while the output of citrus trees (orange, tangerine, grapefruit) was 21,000 tonnes, and vegetables was 210,000 tonnes.

The province has 114,2000 buffalo, 89,140 cows, nearly 495,670 pigs, and over 8.6 million poultry. In 2023, the province’s total agricultural and forestry product export revenue reached 978.45 billion VND (40 million USD). Fourteen enterprises, cooperatives, and cooperative groups shipped abroad agricultural products, including bamboo shoots, pomelo, orange, tea, fresh farm produce, and porridge. Their main export markets include the UK, Taiwan (China), China, the EU, the US, Canada, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.
