After more than 3 years of implementing Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW, dated June 16, 2022 of the 13th Party Central Committee on agriculture, farmers, and rural areas to 2030, with a vision to 2045, many positive results have been achieved, of great significance in ensuring food security, macroeconomic stability, economic growth; and improving the lives of people in rural areas.

In addition, the implementation still has many limitations and weaknesses such as unsustainable growth in the agricultural sector, low productivity, quality and competitiveness of some products; many stages in agricultural production have not yet deeply applied scientific and technological achievements, innovation, digital transformation, green transformation; the income of most farmers is still low and subject to many risks due to natural disasters, epidemics and market fluctuations; human resources working in the agricultural sector and in rural areas are both lacking and weak; environmental pollution in rural areas is slow to be overcome, even in some places it has increased to a serious level...
