However, attracting investment still faces many difficulties and challenges. Therefore, solutions are needed to remove the "bottlenecks" in attracting investment in this sector.

According to the relevant authorities, attracting enterprises to invest in agriculture plays a special role in the agricultural and rural sector because it not only creates jobs and income for workers, increases export turnover but also contributes to the industrialization and modernization of agriculture.
Accordingly, in 2023, to attract investment in agriculture and rural areas, functional sectors in the province have continued to focus on innovating investment promotion work, focusing on attracting investment in the fields of animal feed processing, poultry, aquatic products, processing and consumption of agricultural products.

Need solutions to overcome difficulties
According to economic experts, attracting investment in agriculture and rural areas still has many "bottlenecks". Specifically, the profit rate from agricultural production is low, takes a lot of time, but has high risks, especially agricultural production is always influenced by many factors such as weather, environment, natural disasters and epidemics.
Land use planning in many localities is not stable, so it does not create peace of mind for enterprises to invest in projects that require a long time to achieve results. In addition, many mechanisms and policies to encourage enterprises to invest in agriculture and rural areas have been issued, but enterprises have difficulty accessing them, especially credit support policies.
On the other hand, mechanization is not yet synchronous, the agricultural processing industry is developing slowly, the rural infrastructure is still very limited, especially the road traffic system. The connection between enterprises, scientists and farmers in the production value chain is still limited and not tight, costs are still high, and competitiveness is low...
To attract investment capital in agriculture and rural areas, agricultural experts believe that it is necessary to improve infrastructure because this is an important factor in attracting investment and creating favorable conditions for production and business enterprises.
In addition, improving farmers' production level and applying science and technology to production are important factors to improve productivity and quality of agricultural products, creating high competitiveness in the market. At the same time, it is necessary to promote administrative procedure reform, effectively implement incentive mechanisms and policies to support enterprises.
