On the morning of July 30, in Da Lat city, Lam Dong province, a locality with many highly effective agricultural models, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc chaired the National Conference on Promoting Business Investment in the Agricultural Sector.
According to delegates at the conference, enterprises play an important role in the rural agricultural sector, contributing to shifting production towards commodities, increasing value, creating more jobs and income, and participating in the global value chain.
It is estimated that the country has 49,600 enterprises investing in agriculture, accounting for about 8% of the total enterprises in the country. Enterprises investing in agriculture have created more than 4.5 million jobs, accounting for 32.5% of the total labor force of all enterprises.
Affirming the remarkable achievements of Vietnam's agricultural sector in recent times, the Prime Minister also affirmed the important role of enterprises, cooperatives, and household economies in agricultural development. However, the Prime Minister also raised a number of issues in the agricultural sector today, namely the lack of deep processing industry and mainly raw processing; the consumption of plastic bags in many products is too large. In particular, there are few enterprises investing in the agricultural sector.
Regarding land use in agricultural production, the Prime Minister stated that, in addition to the scarcity of land resources,There is still a lot of land but no production organization, while many investors in agriculture lack land. There are still many farms and forestry farms, but how to organize production effectively is the question at this conference that authorities at all levels must recalculate. Land must be better organized.
