The Party Committee of the Department of Agriculture and Environment was established on February 28, 2025 on the basis of merging the Party Committee of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Party Committee of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment. The Department's Party Committee currently has 3 Party Committees and 18 affiliated Party cells, with 815 Party members. This is a new organizational model, large in scale, with a wide scope of management, directly related to key areas of the economy and social life.
Right from the beginning of the 2020 - 2025 term, the Department's Party Committee has faced many difficulties and challenges: From the serious impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, fluctuations in material prices, natural disasters, epidemics, to the pressure from the implementation of new legal regulations such as the Land Law 2024, the Law on Geology and Minerals 2024, the Law on Environmental Protection 2020... Along with that is a major change in organizational structure, apparatus and management methods after the merger. However, with the spirit of solidarity, proactiveness and flexibility, the Department's Party Committee has clearly demonstrated its core leadership role, highly promoting the exemplary responsibility of cadres and party members, especially leaders, to successfully carry out political and professional tasks. Thereby, actively contributing to the sustainable development strategy of Nghe An province on all 3 pillars: natural resources, environment and agriculture.
One of the outstanding marks is the strategic advisory work. The Party Committee of the Department has directed the professional staff to proactively propose the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the People's Council and the Provincial People's Committee to issue many important directives, resolutions and plans to realize the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress. The focus is on developing raw material areas for forest planting associated with wood processing; innovating and developing cooperative economy in agriculture; building advanced and exemplary new rural areas; developing marine economy; strengthening management of resources, minerals and environmental protection...
“These directives are not only strategic but also a “compass”, creating an important legal corridor for agricultural restructuring, land and mineral management, environmental protection, marine economic development and climate change response - key and urgent issues in the locality, contributing to promoting sustainable socio-economic development”, affirmed Comrade Hoang Quoc Viet - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Party Secretary, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Nghe An.

The growth rate of the agriculture, forestry and fishery sector in the 2021-2025 period is estimated at 4.55%, with positive changes in the internal structure of the sector. The forest coverage rate reached 59.01%, strongly promoting the model of large-scale timber plantation and economy under the forest canopy.
