In 2025, Quang Ninh province will take the working theme as "Breakthrough in economic development, creating momentum for the new term". In the context of having just experienced heavy damage caused by storm No. 3 Yagi, the agricultural sector of Quang Ninh has determined to be highly determined, ready to face and overcome difficulties as well as welcome and promote new development opportunities. Reporter of Quang Ninh Provincial Media Center interviewed Mr. Nguyen Minh Son, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development about this content.
- For Quang Ninh, in your opinion, what is the basis and foundation for the province's agricultural sector to be ready to "join the game", achieve and exceed the specific targets set by the sector?
+ As known, in 2024, due to heavy damage caused by storm No. 3 (Yagi), although the agricultural, forestry and fishery production targets did not reach the planned target set at the beginning of the year, they were completed higher than the adjusted growth scenario target. The GRDP growth of agriculture, forestry and fishery for the whole year reached 0.08%, an increase of 0.04% compared to the adjusted growth scenario target. Specifically, the cultivation sector achieved an annual crop planting area of 62,922 hectares; grain output reached 212,055 tons. In the livestock sector, the herd of buffaloes was 24,046, the herd of cows was 24,284, the herd of pigs was 269,875, the herd of poultry was 5,693 thousand; the output of fresh meat for slaughter reached 102,987 tons. In the forestry sector, the area of concentrated forest plantation reached 15,272.3 hectares, the output of exploited forest timber reached 1,152,291 m3. In the aquaculture sector, the total output of aquatic products is estimated at 166,044 tons.
The agricultural economy has developed in a sustainable and effective direction, with large-scale commodity production and increased application of high technology. This is reflected in the fact that Quang Ninh has many concentrated production areas, starting to form and maintain organic farming areas and coded farming areas. During the year, more and more agricultural farming models in greenhouses and membrane houses have appeared, applying insect monitoring systems and water-saving irrigation. The mechanization rate in farming has reached over 80%. In 2024, the High-tech Pig Farm project in Quang Son commune, Hai Ha district (Greentech Company) imported 562 pigs and is in the process of importing 1,661 pigs (1,650 sows and 11 boars), with a total of 2,223 pigs. Along with that, the whole province has established 162 new agricultural cooperatives, bringing the total number of agricultural cooperatives in the province to 710.
Particularly, the aquaculture sector develops in a sustainable direction, focusing on marine aquaculture. The whole province has an inland aquaculture area of about 32,092 hectares, and a marine aquaculture area of about 10,200 hectares. The number of aquaculture facilities reached 11,252. In early April 2024, Quang Ninh successfully organized a marine aquaculture conference, thereby attracting 74 organizations and individuals to research and invest in marine aquaculture (30 enterprises and 44 cooperatives) to propose marine aquaculture projects. Along with that, in 2024, the forestry sector will develop sustainably, pay attention to protecting, managing, and using forests sustainably, improve the economic efficiency of forests, especially the work of building new rural areas will achieve high results, maintain the achievements of building new rural areas and closely link with the urbanization process, contributing to improving the quality of people's lives, narrowing regional differences. Currently, the whole province has 91/91 communes meeting the new rural standards, 54/91 communes meeting the advanced new rural standards, 25/91 communes meeting the model new rural standards; 13/13 district-level units meeting the standards/completing the task of building new rural areas, 5/7 districts meeting the criteria and targets of districts meeting the advanced new rural standards, in which Dam Ha and Tien Yen districts are the first two districts in the country to be recognized by the Prime Minister as advanced new rural districts.

+ 2025 is a year of special importance, the final year of the term and the 5-year plan 2021-2025; the year of many important anniversaries of the Party, the country, and the nation; the year of holding party congresses at all levels, the 16th Provincial Party Congress towards the 14th National Congress of the Party, entering a new era, an era of national growth. This is also the year we forecast that the world and regional situation, non-traditional security issues such as epidemics, natural disasters, climate change, etc. will continue to face many difficulties, challenges and unpredictable developments.

The general goal of the Quang Ninh agricultural sector in 2025 is: Promote restructuring, quickly restore production, improve agricultural economic efficiency after storm No. 3; develop ecological agriculture, modern countryside, civilized farmers. The whole sector effectively implemented 3 national target programs associated with Resolution No. 06-NQ/TU dated July 15, 2021 of the Provincial Party Committee, focusing on consolidating and maintaining the achievements of new rural construction, implementing the construction of advanced new rural areas and model new rural areas throughout the province. Specialized units of the agricultural sector restructured, supplied plant and animal varieties of guaranteed origin and quality, developed sustainable and effective agriculture, large-scale commodity production, strengthened chain linkages, increased added value and economic efficiency of OCOP products; developed high-tech agricultural zones in Dong Trieu, Dam Ha, and Tien Yen. The agricultural sector also continued to effectively implement Directive No. 13-CT/TU dated August 10, 2021 of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee associated with combating IUU fishing in the province; urgently assigned marine farming areas according to planning to ensure publicity and transparency; Focus on forest restoration after storm No. 3 on the basis of reviewing and adjusting the planning of 3 types of forests to suit practical conditions; focus on planting large timber forests (lim, giổi, lát, cinnamon...) and some suitable trees (bamboo, fruit trees, medicinal plants)... in the spirit of Resolution No. 19-NQ/TU dated November 28, 2019 of the Provincial Party Committee; increase the area of forests with forest certification; promote economic development under the forest canopy associated with ecotourism.
