The agricultural sector has focused on applying measures to expand production of products with higher productivity, and quality and value. The majority of targets in agricultural restructuring have been completed.

Specifically, the GRDP of the sector reached 4.37 percent in 2013 and 4.7 percent in 2016. The productivity value of the sector reached 90.3 million VND per hectare in 2013 and 112 million VND per hectare in 2016. Value of each hectare of aquatic farm hit 80.8 million VND in 2013 and 123 million VND in 2016. The ratio of locals accessing clean water was 78 percent in 2013 and 88 percent in 2016.

At the same time, many important policies for the sector have been designed in recent years.

In 2014, the provincial Party Committee issued four resolutions, including those on developing some major farm products, traditional trades, and trade villages, increasing the breeding of fish in Hoa Binh Lakein the 2014-2020 period, and supporting the sale of agricultural products.

The provincial Party Committee also directed the realisation of measures to implement the Party Central Committee’s resolution on agriculture, farmers and rural areas.

In three years from 2014-2016, the province raised awareness of local officials in developing advantageous products of each region. Localities have selected regions to develop their advantageous products, including the orange growing region in Cao Phong, Lac Thuy and Kim Boi, the green-skin grapefruit growing area in Tan Lac, the Dien grapefruit region in Yen Thuy, and Luong Son, an area growing chayote vegetables in Tan Lac, Mau Chau, an area cultivating purple pepper in Mai Chau, and an area planting organic vegetables in Luong Son.

The regions showed outstanding economic efficiency, contributing to raising the value of the cultivation sector. In 2014, the growth of cultivation was about 1.9 percent. The figure rose to 3.82 percent in 2016. The production value of the sector reached over 120 million VND per hectare each year and even 500 million VND per hectare per year for citrus fruits farms, and 250 million VND per hectare per year for vegetable farms.

This is an important progress of the sector, showing steady steps forward of the cultivation sector in the path of completing the set targets during the reform process./.
