Accordingly, Hai Duong has about 105,000 hectares of agricultural land, with a convenient transportation system that allows for quick trade and transportation of goods. The province's agricultural production is carried out in the direction of large-scale concentrated goods, applying high technology, and producing according to VietGAP and GlobalGAP safety standards. The province's agricultural products have been exported to markets with high quality requirements such as Korea, the US, and Europe, typically exporting lychees and carrots to Korea.

As for carrots, the province annually grows about 1,500 hectares, with an output of about 80,000 - 100,000 tons, worth about 800 billion VND/year, with exports to Korea accounting for about 40% of the output. Therefore, Korea is always identified by Hai Duong province as the most important market, determining the success of the province's carrot production and export.

The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that recently, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development of Korea, especially Minister Song Mi Ri Ung personally, has supported and resolved many difficulties, helping Vietnamese carrot products continue to be exported to Korea.

In addition, the Korean Government has provided non-refundable aid of approximately 2.6 million USD to build and upgrade the factory system, install equipment lines for preliminary processing, classifying vegetables and cold storage at Duc Chinh and Tan Minh Duc Cooperatives.
