Sliced sour bamboo shoot, an OCOP product of the Kim Boi joint Stock Company, Ba Hang Doi town (Lac Thuy), evaluated as potential to be a 5-star product at the provincial OCOP product evaluation and classification conference in 2023.

Last year, the sector fulfilled its set target of a 10% increase in agricultural exports compared to that in 2022. The province’s total export value of agricultural and forestry products reached 978.4 billion VND (39.9 million USD), of which 615.7 billion VND came from agricultural exports. Some agricultural products have reached demanding markets such as Dien Luong Son pomelo exported to the US; turmeric starch, honey and lemon tea, and Dien Yen Thuy pomelo to the UK; and semi-processed and processed bamboo shoot products to Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the Netherlands.

In the year, the GRDP growth rate of the agro-forestry and fisheries sector reached 4.35%. The whole province currently has 158 OCOP products rated 3-4 star, of which seven have been allowed to be shipped abroad. The forest coverage remains stable at 51.5%. The herd of cattle and poultry is over 9.5 million.

Nguyen Huy Nhuan, Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said that in 2024, the sector is striving for a growth rate of 4.5%; 13.5 trillion VND in the value of agricultural, forestry and fishery production; six more communes completing new-style rural area building criteria; and 16 3-star or higher OCOP products.

To that end, the sector is actively developing agriculture applying high technology and biotechnology, expanding the scale of clean and organic agricultural production, promoting the development of processing industries to improve production efficiency, and diversifying products. It is also attracting resources to invest in the agricultural sector in the direction of chain links to enhance competitiveness and create stable output for products, added Nhuan.
