In recent years, Yen Thuy's agricultural sector has developed with
breakthroughs. The agricultural structure has changed to promote its
advantages, matching market demands and adapting to climate change. The value
of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries is estimated at nearly 1.8 trillion
VND, accounting for 27.2% of the district’s economic structure.

conditions.
Along with cultivation, the district’s livestock industry has made good
progress with the production value in 2022 reaching nearly 640 billion VND,
accounting for about 37% of the agricultural sector. Livestock production
continues to actively shift from small-scale and household farming to bigger
farms with measures applied to control diseases and ensure environmental
safety. The district also maintains vaccination, quarantine, slaughter control,
and disinfects to prevent major epidemics.
Aiming to develop sustainable agriculture, Yen Thuy district is paying
attention to having agricultural products certificated or meet the requirements

Currently, the district has products that have been granted
trademark protection titles by the National Office of Intellectual Property
under the Ministry of Science and Technology, for example, grapefruit, onion,
taro, Green squash, and 17 OCOP products.
The district authorities also paid attention to brand building
and product promotion, and increased support for production-consumption
linkages.
It also promotes the formation of new-styled cooperatives associated with the
value chain. Up to now, the whole district has over 39 agricultural
cooperatives, and 37 cooperative groups with 537 members, creating more than
800 jobs.
Moreover, Yen Thuy district maintains production and consumption links on over
400 ha of raw cane with Viet Dai Sugar Company; about 25 ha of ca gai leo
(Solanum procumbens) with Bao Hieu Agriculture and Forestry Cooperative; 20 ha
of grapefruit between Ngoc Luong Agricultural Cooperative and Dai Dong
