The first two craft villages of Hanoi as well as of Vietnam, Bat Trang Ceramic Village (Gia Lam District) and Van Phuc Silk Village (Ha Dong District) have become members of the World Network of Creative Craft Cities.
To achieve the above results, it is impossible not to mention the active cooperation of the central and Hanoi news agencies and press in widely disseminating information about the city's agricultural sector. Dissemination activities have helped farmers and businesses promptly grasp the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws on agricultural development and new rural construction; raise people's awareness in the production and consumption of safe agricultural products; provide timely information on consumer markets; new scientific and technological advances, and chains linking production to product consumption, etc.
In 2024, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development coordinated with central and Hanoi stations such as Vietnam Television, Voice of Vietnam, Hanoi Radio and Television... to produce 227 programs, 177 reports, special topics, and news bulletins. Coordinated with newspapers such as Hanoi Moi Newspaper, Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper, Today's Rural Newspaper, Economic & Urban Newspaper; Vietnam News Newspaper... to produce 103 special pages, special topics, 633 articles, 1 video clip to promote agriculture and build new rural areas in Hanoi to promptly inform the policies of the Party, State and Hanoi city; introduce and promote agricultural and rural activities in Hanoi. This activity has contributed to the success of the agricultural sector and the overall economic development of the city.
Speaking at the conference, Director of the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Xuan Dai affirmed that the Central and Hanoi press agencies have produced many reports, news, and articles that reflect promptly, objectively, and comprehensively on agriculture, farmers, and rural areas in Hanoi. Most notably, through the propaganda work of Resolution 08/2023/NQ-HDND dated July 4, 2023 on Regulations on a number of policies to encourage agricultural development in Hanoi, many entities, organizations, and individuals operating in the value chain have accessed support policies and mechanisms; most notably, the support mechanism for mechanized machinery has helped raise the mechanization rate of rice cultivation in the city in 2024 to the highest level ever.
Or during the time of the two storms (No. 2 and No. 3), the press agencies promptly intervened, closely followed and accompanied all activities and steps of the agricultural sector, localities, and each affected and damaged household and production area. Thanks to that, the agricultural sector had more basis to advise the City People's Committee to issue 4 major support programs, promptly restoring production.
Propaganda on social media platforms, technology press
At the conference, representatives of leaders of a number of central and Hanoi press agencies exchanged and contributed ideas to further improve information and propaganda work on Hanoi's agricultural sector in 2025 and the following years.
Suggesting the direction of propaganda, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Economic and Urban Newspaper Nguyen Xuan Khanh said: propaganda work in the coming time needs to be innovated and upgraded to match the achievements, potentials and development advantages of the capital's agricultural sector.
For example, increasing propaganda through social networking platforms. Along with that, focusing on digitalizing agricultural products, in parallel with improving the skills of promoting and selling agricultural products, OCOP products of farmers and cooperatives through livestreaming on Facebook, Zalo, YouTube... and e-commerce platforms. With this solution, not only will it open up the output for agricultural products, but it will also help farmers and cooperatives increase revenue and promote growth in the agricultural sector.
In addition, it is necessary to promote the fields of Hanoi's agriculture and rural development sector through technology press products, multimedia press such as: E-Magazine, Longform, Infographic... to reflect more vividly and richly, thereby attracting and meeting the increasing demands of readers.
"I propose that the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development include the content of coordinating propaganda in the agricultural sector in 2025 by developing specific technology press and multimedia press products in terms of quantity, quality criteria, dissemination... in the annual plan. Thereby, contributing to further improving the effectiveness of propaganda, as well as removing difficulties and shortcomings in the actual implementation of the work of the capital's agricultural sector" - Mr. Nguyen Xuan Khanh proposed.
Acknowledging and accepting the comments of press representatives, Director of Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Xuan Dai hopes that press agencies will continue to accompany the capital's agricultural sector in propaganda work to achieve the best results.
According to Mr. Nguyen Xuan Dai, in 2025, Hanoi's agricultural sector will continue to restructure the agricultural sector in association with improving the quality of new rural construction and environmental protection, adapting to climate change. Prioritizing the development of high-tech agriculture, urban agriculture, ecology, clean agricultural production, organic agriculture, OCOP products; developing concentrated specialized areas, raw material areas for processing and export. Focusing on effectively implementing mechanisms and policies in the agricultural and rural sectors; at the same time reviewing, adjusting, perfecting, and supplementing mechanisms and policies to encourage agricultural development according to the Capital Law to attract organizations and individuals to invest in the agricultural and rural sectors in the city.
In 2025, Hanoi's agricultural and rural sector strives for a growth rate of 2.5% or more; the total production value of agriculture, forestry and fishery reaches 70,000 billion VND; agricultural and forestry product exports reach 2.5 billion USD; by the end of 2025, the city will have 35 more communes meeting advanced NTM standards, 29 communes meeting model NTM standards; and will be recognized by the Government as "The city completing the task of building NTM".
"The above tasks and goals not only require the determination of all cadres, civil servants, and workers in the city's agricultural sector, but also require the coordination and support of the central and city's news and press agencies in carrying out information and propaganda work," Mr. Nguyen Xuan Dai emphasized.
