Significant change
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment , Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW has been seriously and actively implemented by the entire political system, creating unity in awareness and action. Accordingly, many innovative mechanisms and policies have been issued, mobilizing resources for agricultural and rural development, and have received the support and positive response of the people. Agriculture has been restructured in a more substantive and effective way, positively transforming according to the strengths of each region and market demand, and proactively adapting to climate change. The entire sector has shifted its mindset from production to agricultural economics, from single-sector development to cooperation and multi-sector development, integrating multiple values; and from agricultural product supply chains to the development of commodity chains.

Scientific and technological advancements have been increasingly applied to production, contributing to improved productivity, quality, and added value of products. Rural infrastructure has been invested in and built comprehensively, the appearance of rural areas is increasingly improving, and the material and spiritual lives of rural people have been enhanced.

Create a breakthrough
At a recent press conference reporting on the implementation of Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW, according to assessments from ministries, agencies, and localities, the implementation of Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW still has some shortcomings and limitations. For example, agricultural growth is not yet stable; the quality and competitiveness of some products are not high. Innovation, digital economic development, and the application of science and technology, especially high technology, are still limited; infrastructure for agricultural development does not meet requirements. The results of building new rural areas vary greatly among different regions and localities. Some of the targets for 2030 in Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW are no longer relevant to the current context and need to be adjusted accordingly... Based on this, many key recommendations and solutions have been proposed to effectively implement and contribute to the successful achievement and exceeding of the targets for 2030 and the vision for 2045 in Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Thuy, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of An Giang province, proposed that the Government and central ministries and agencies prioritize allocating investment resources to agriculture, farmers, and rural areas; and prioritize resources for building new rural areas and sustainable poverty reduction. In addition, she requested the early issuance of specific criteria and adjustments to management methods suitable for the two-tiered local government model. She also called for flexible credit policies and preferential interest rate programs and products to enable farmers to borrow capital for production development. Furthermore, she emphasized the need for human resource training and the transfer of scientific and technological advancements to agriculture and rural areas.
To create room for breakthroughs in the agricultural economy, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Cuong, former Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, believes that a deeper analysis of the potential of forestry, marine, national, and regional specialty products is needed to increase added value and leverage comparative advantages. Key requirements include removing bottlenecks in science and technology, promoting production linkages, and empowering domestic enterprises. For rural areas, it is necessary to review and update planning, finalize national target programs, and increase local autonomy. Furthermore, attention should be paid to training rural workers in line with the needs of industry, services, tourism, and labor export, creating a high-quality workforce.
According to Professor Tran Duc Vien, Chairman of the Science and Training Council of the Vietnam Academy of Agriculture, the State needs to prioritize investment in processing, digitalization, and the development of raw material areas, forming an agricultural-technology-finance ecosystem. Training human resources, especially farmers, should focus on practical skills, linking digital technology and the market, creating a generation of 4.0 farmers who master production. Private enterprises should be the driving force for agricultural innovation. Furthermore, a national program for land restoration linked to green production and carbon credits is needed.
