Develop concentrated, large-scale agricultural production areas, organize chain production for key products. Expand the area of ​​quality rice production, safe vegetables, and lychee production according to VietGap and GlobalGap standards. Strictly manage the use of growing area codes and fresh fruit packaging facility codes for export. Promote the development of circular economic models; apply science and technology, mechanization in agricultural production. Strengthen inspection, monitoring, forecasting, and pest control.
