Le Thanh Hoa, Deputy Director of the Department of Quality, Processing and Market Development at the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, remarked that following 40 years of economic reform, Vietnam's agricultural sector has experienced an impressive change. From a nation that previously experienced food scarcity, it has transformed into one of the top global exporters of agro-forestry-fishery items, with exports sent to almost 200 countries and regions.
The ministry reported that the local agricultural export revenue reached 70.6 billion USD in 2025, reflecting a 12 percent increase from the year before and exceeding the established goal.
Hoa mentioned that in the new development scenario, the agricultural sector is moving from a growth model centered on quantity to one that emphasises quality. The implementation of cutting-edge technologies in manufacturing, preservation, and processing is being expedited to improve resource efficiency while increasing product quality and value.
