The agriculture sector needs to mobilise domestic and international resources to boost the industrialisation and modernisation of the agricultural and rural economic sectors.
Deputy Prime Minister Vu Van Ninh made the statement during a workshop on August 20 in Hanoi, co-organised by the Party Central Committee’s (PCC) Economic Commission, the Communist Review magazine and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Deputy PM Ninh urged the sector to review its existing development blueprints while designing specific plans for developing key and highly competitive products as well as large-scale and concentrated agricultural production areas.
Head of the PCC Economic Commission Vuong Dinh Hue reiterated that the Party and State have continuously attached importance to agriculture and rural development, as reflected in a number of policies issued over the past 30 years.
He hailed the sector’s achievements, saying that these have contributed significantly to the socio-economic and political stability of the country as well as poverty reduction.
However, industrialisation and modernisation of the sector remains slow and failed to fulfil targets, Hue said, attributing it to the inadequate knowledge about the need to reform growth model and restructure the economy, a lack of breakthrough institutional changes to effectively mobilise and use social resources in line with the market economy and the failure of the national industrial development policy in identifying and focusing on key fields for each period.
Meanwhile, the Communist Review’s Editor-in-chief Vu Van Phuc stressed the need for the modernisation and industrialisation of the sector, saying it will be the shortest way to boost agricultural production, enhance productivity and improve living conditions for rural residents.
Reports heard at the workshop revealed that the agro-fishery and forestry sector saw a year-on-year GDP growth of 3.7 percent from 1986 to 2013.
In 2014, the sector contributed 18 percent to the GDP with rural workers accounting for only 47 percent of the national workforce, down from 70 percent in 1990.
It also earned more than 30 billion USD from exports in 2014.-VNA
Many businesses have been very successful in their agricultural investment, this has led to a big shift in investment direction, the Vietnam Economic News reported.
Developing agriculture and ensuring food security should play a central role in the national development strategy of any country, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has said.
Private enterprises have succeeded with their agricultural investments, but their progress still lags behind their true potential and the demand for development in the sector, a conference was told in Hanoi on June 28.
The movement of building new-style rural areas has come into the real life, satisfying farmers’ interests and creating a premise for sustainable development, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Van Ninh said.
Vietnamese Consul General in Fukuoka Vu Chi Mai highlighted the growing demand for Vietnamese workers in Kyushu, especially in Fukuoka, Oita, and Saga prefectures. Currently, the region employs about 35,000 Vietnamese manual workers and over 5,000 IT engineers.
In Vietnam’s case, she said, President Ho Chi Minh demonstrated his strategic vision by founding the revolutionary press a century ago. The late leader understood the press's role not only as a means to reflect the country’s realities but also as a powerful tool to strengthen national unity and inspire the resistance wars and national construction process.
In recent interviews granted to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA)'s reporters in Mexico, prominent figures reflected on the press’s legacy and its global influence.
VietnamPlus e-newspaper of the VNA clinched an A prize in the “Outstanding Press Product” category for its immersive 3D multimedia project, “Epic of Reunification,” a groundbreaking blend of storytelling and technology. The VNA won another A prize for its eye-catching exhibition booth.
Today, the press for foreign service has evolved into a distinct, irreplaceable force, bridging Vietnam with the world and portraying a nation that is stable, peace-loving, and fully integrated into the international community.
At a review conference held on June 21, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh praised the province’s scientific, coordinated, and flexible approach.

The VNA delegation, led by General Director Vu Viet Trang, actively participated in the event, engaging in both professional and diplomatic activities.
In the context where AI dominates and produces vast volumes of content, the only sustainable path forward for journalism is to focus on high-quality content and core values. Journalism must redefine its mission - not to report the fastest, but to provide the most profound and trustworthy value.
Granma and the VNA have great potential for cooperation, especially in sharing content regularly, so that VNA products are published on Granma platforms and vice versa, thereby helping Cuban and Vietnamese people access true information and gain a deep understanding of each other's country and people.
During his stay in China’s Guangzhou city from 1924 to 1927 to prepare for the establishment of a Communist Party to lead Vietnam’s revolution, President Ho Chi Minh founded “Thanh nien” newspaper and released its first issue on June 21, 1925.

The strategic product, managed and operated by the Vietnam News Agency Digital Media Centre (VNA Media), is an official channel for popularising the Party and State’s information and documents as well as delivering mainstream and trustworthy news to both domestic and international audiences through various kinds of multimedia formats.
Since President Ho Chi Minh founded Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has become the voice of the people. During the resistance war against the colonialists, journalists took great personal risks to inspire patriotism and the will of rising up against foreign invaders.
The total investment exceeded 319 billion VND (12.2 million USD), including over 261 billion VND from the state budget and 57.5 billion VND mobilised from businesses, organisations, and individuals.
The Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang is intensifying efforts to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing as part of the country’s goal of having the European Commission’s “yellow card” warning lifted.

It has consistently delivered timely, accurate, and objective reports on both domestic and international events, serving the Party’s leadership, the State’s management, and the public’s demand for official news.
With strong support from local authorities, businesses, organisations, and residents, the province has successfully built or repaired 10,707 homes for disadvantaged households, including war veterans, families of martyrs, ethnic minority people, and low-income residents.
Throughout its resistance against colonialists and imperialists, Vietnam developed a revolutionary press that has served as a benchmark for just and legitimate causes worldwide.
