The agriculture sector became the economy's bright spot in the first seven months of this year, posting a trade surplus of US$3.9 billion in the period.
Vietnam’s agriculture sector was likely to be the worst hit by the coronavirus in China, said Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Xuan Cuong.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has urged the agriculture sector to switch from the mindset of agricultural production to an agricultural economy and international integration in order to create a revolution in the development of agriculture, farmers and rural areas.
The agriculture consultation and support center under the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Ho Chi Minh City has organized a meeting to connect farmers, producers and enterprises.
Agricultural products exported to China now account for 50 percent of total border trade flow between the two countries, signifying greater approval from Chinese consumers, officials say.
