The city now has 1.4 million pigs, 166,000 cows and 24.5 million poultry while possessing 21,000 ha of aquaculture area with fish output of 76,000 tonnes a year.
With advantages in terms of land, consumption market and application of advanced techniques, Hanoi has increased the value of agricultural production to VND212.4 million per ha, up 65% compared with 2008.
The typical high quality rice production regions are in districts of Phu Xuyen, Thanh Oai and Chuong My; vegetable production regions are in Gia Lam and Chuong My districts; special fruit growing regions in Quoc Oai and Hoai Duc districts; concentrated aquaculture regions in Thanh Tri, Ung Hoa, My Duc and Ba Vi.

Organisations and individuals who invest in high-tech agriculture models will enjoy land preferential treatment, support from the state fund to build technical infrastructure and soft interest rate loans.
