At the time the Tac Dat Newspaper was born, only 3 months after the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, after 8 decades with many name changes to suit each period, the Agriculture and Environment Newspaper has now become a specialized press agency of a profession, and at the same time an important forum for speaking about agriculture, rural areas, resources and environment.

Speaking at the 80th Anniversary of the Agriculture and Environment Newspaper on the evening of December 4, Editor-in-Chief Nguyen Ngoc Thach affirmed that Uncle Ho's teachings are still deeply imprinted in the hearts of those working for the Agriculture and Environment Newspaper. It is an honor and a great mission that many generations have continued, bringing the Tac Dat Newspaper of the past to become the Agriculture and Environment Newspaper of today.

“Looking back and moving forward after 80 years, we have a strong belief in launching Vietnamese values ​​that are refined and understood. We see the light ahead, shining from the value of Vietnamese fields, the value of Vietnamese land, the value of Vietnamese mountains and forests, the value of Vietnamese nature, the value of Vietnamese culture, the value of Vietnamese people,” Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thach shared.

Agriculture and Environment Newspaper currently has about 200 staff, reporters, editors and employees, with a system of 7 representative offices nationwide.

This network allows the editorial office to directly access growing areas, breeding areas, processing industrial zones and areas heavily affected by extreme weather, thereby creating a rich source of practical materials - a decisive factor in the quality of specialized journalism.

On behalf of the leaders of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment , Deputy Minister Phung Duc Tien also sent congratulations to generations of cadres, reporters and editors of the Agriculture and Environment Newspaper on the occasion of the anniversary.
