VietNam’s total production value of agro-forestry-aquaculture this year reached VND220,000 billion (US$12 billion), an increase of nearly 3 per cent against last year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The export value of those products was estimated at $15.3 billion. The chief of the ministry’s Information and Statistics Centre, Nguyen Viet Chien, said although the value was 7 per cent less than last year, it surpassed the $12 billion annual target set by the ministry and the $14 billion target set by the Prime Minister. Farm produce still makes up the largest proportion of the exported products, followed by aquaculture, then forestry.
