Speaking at the awards ceremony, Mr. Luong Quoc Doan, Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam and Chairman of the Vietnam Farmers' Association, stated that, building on its 95-year tradition of development and growth, the Farmers' Association at all levels has always been proactive, creative, and actively organized patriotic emulation movements, notably the movement of farmers competing in excellent production and business, uniting to help each other get rich and sustainably reduce poverty, and the movement of cadres and farmer members actively participating in the development of collective economic activities in agriculture. It has been and continues to affirm its important role in organizing and mobilizing members and farmers to actively participate in socio-economic development, ensuring national defense and security; with the goal of forming green rural livelihoods - digital agriculture - value chains, contributing to the successful implementation of the industrialization and modernization of agriculture and rural areas, and building a strong and prosperous Vietnam.
Mr. Luong Quoc Doan further stated that the outstanding Vietnamese farmers of 2025 are shining examples and advanced models with impressive achievements in production and business; in the movement to build new rural areas, and in the movement for all citizens to participate in protecting national security. They are also farmers with many initiatives, innovations, inventions, and patents that have been applied and brought high economic and social benefits.
This year's outstanding farmers are diverse across various fields, notably those involved in ecotourism, developing circular agricultural economic models, promoting OCOP products, and forming multi-value production chains. Many farmers, through their hard work and diligence, have risen to become millionaires, some earning hundreds of billions of dong annually, creating jobs for hundreds of workers. There are also farmers with very large production areas and production linkages, especially in rice cultivation, with linked areas ranging from tens to hundreds of hectares. These achievements are undoubtedly forged from the patriotism, dedication, self-reliance, and sense of community responsibility of Vietnamese farmers.
The 32 "Agricultural Scientists of 2025," selected through multiple rounds of nominations and various channels, are the most outstanding scientists in their respective fields. They have made significant contributions to scientific research, creating new plant and animal varieties; researching and improving processes, bringing scientific and technological advancements and modern technologies into production; and working alongside hardworking, creative, and resilient farmers to create bountiful harvests.
“This year’s 6th Award Ceremony for Outstanding Farmers’ Scientists is even more meaningful as the Politburo has just issued Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation, and digital transformation. The contributions of scientists are the decisive factor in creating breakthroughs in the fields of agriculture, farmers, and rural areas. The decision to award the title simultaneously to outstanding farmers and outstanding farmers’ scientists has profound significance, demonstrating the close, dialectical, and mutually supportive link between the ‘two sides’ – scientists and farmers,” Mr. Luong Quoc Doan emphasized.
According to the Organizing Committee, the Outstanding Vietnamese Farmers of 2025 will be selected based on four main criteria groups: agricultural production, business, and services; outstanding achievements in the new rural development movement; outstanding achievements in the nationwide movement to protect national security and sovereignty; and scientific innovations and inventions that have been applied and brought high economic and social benefits…
Among them, there are 54 male farmers and 9 female farmers; including 4 outstanding farmers representing ethnic minorities. Broken down by group, in agricultural production, business, and services: 31 farmers; achievements in the new rural development movement and national security protection: 27 farmers; initiatives and inventions in agricultural production: 5 farmers.
The youngest outstanding farmer is Mr. Nguyen Tung Duong, 25 years old (born in 2000) from Lang Chanh village, Tam Duong Bac commune, Phu Tho province, with a model of growing golden flower tea and trading seedlings, achieving a profit of 1.2 billion VND/year; the oldest outstanding farmer is Mr. Chu Van Sam, 77 years old (born in 1948) from Dong Danh village, An Nghia commune, Phu Tho province, with a model of dairy farming and business services, achieving a profit of 1.4 billion VND/year.

Many scientists have made great inventions and innovations, such as: the invention of an automatic cassava cutting machine using solar energy by Mr. Pham Van Thanh (Krong Pa, Gia Lai); the invention of a baitless rat trap and a semicircular bird repellent device by Mr. Tran Quang Thieu - a member of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Mechanical Engineering Association from Thuong Tin, Hanoi; the invention of an automatic cassava cutting machine using solar energy by Mr. Pham Van Thanh (Gia Lai); and the intensive crab farming model by Mr. Nguyen Viet Bac (Ca Mau).
"Proud Vietnamese Farmers" is a major and annual program of the Vietnam Farmers' Association. For the past 12 years, the program has consistently received attention and high praise from Party and State leaders, central and local ministries and agencies, as well as the general public.
The "Proud Vietnamese Farmers 2025" program continues to be a practical and meaningful activity aimed at implementing Resolution 46-NQ/TW dated December 20, 2023, of the Politburo on reforming and improving the quality of activities of the Vietnam Farmers' Association to meet the requirements of revolutionary tasks in the new period, and the Resolution of the 8th National Congress of the Vietnam Farmers' Association for the 2023-2028 term.
This year's program is particularly significant as it coincides with the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Farmers' Association (October 14, 1930 - October 14, 2025). Besides honoring exemplary farmers, this year's program also recognizes scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the field of agriculture. This affirms the strong bond between farmers and intellectuals – where science and technology are the "key," and farmers are the central driving force in the journey towards developing a modern, integrated, and sustainable Vietnamese agriculture.
