Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Vu Van Ninh attended the workshop.
Reports heard at the workshop revealed that the agro-fishery and forestry sector saw a year-on-year GDP growth of 3.7% from 1986 to 2013.
In 2014, the sector contributed 18% to the GDP with rural workers accounting for only 47% of the national workforce, down from 70 percent in 1990. It also earned more than 30 billion USD from exports in 2014.
According to the PCC Economic Commission, 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.
The sector’s achievements 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. The sector showed the inadequate knowledge about the need to reform growth model and restructure the economy, a lack of breakthrough institutional changes to effectively mobilise and the failure of the national industrial development policy in identifying and focusing on key fields for each period.
At the workshop, experts gathered to discuss solutions to lift barriers of the agriculture sector.
Parcipaters stressed that the industrialisation and modernisation of the agricultural and rural economic sectors need to be shifted from production to focusing on quality and value in order to develop a national modern agriculture.
Addressing the event, Deputy PM Vu Van Ninh affiirmed that the agriculture sector needs to mobilise domestic and international resources to boost the industrialisation and modernisation of the agricultural and rural economic sectors.
Deputy PM Ninh urged the sector to design specific plans for developing key and highly competitive products as well as large-scale and concentrated agricultural production areas.
