In 2023, the growth of the whole industry in the first quarter recorded 2.52%. These achievements were achieved from the drastic and close implementation of the tasks of the agricultural sector, as stated in the Document of the 13th National Congress of the Party: "Focus on developing large-scale commodity agriculture, applying high technology; promoting the potential and advantages of each region and locality. Closely linking agriculture with industry and services; production with preservation, processing, consumption, brand building, enhancing the value of agricultural products in value chains".
In fact, in terms of agricultural production, the restructuring of the agricultural sector associated with the innovation of the growth model has strongly transformed the production structure, the structure of the agricultural and rural economy. Agriculture has strongly shifted towards large-scale commodity production with increasingly high productivity and quality; ensuring national food security, contributing significantly to hunger eradication, poverty reduction, income increase and improvement of the lives of rural people. Throughout the country, many concentrated, large-scale commodity production areas have been formed according to the main product axis.
In the field of agricultural processing and mechanization, Deputy Director of the Department of Quality, Processing and Market Development Le Thanh Hoa said: In the period of 2021-2022, many documents and policies on this field were issued, such as: Decision No. 858/QD-TTg dated July 20, 2022 of the Prime Minister on approving the Strategy for developing agricultural mechanization and processing of agricultural, forestry and fishery products to 2030; Decision No. 417/QD-TTg dated March 22, 2021 approving the "Project for developing the fruit and vegetable processing industry in the period of 2021-2030"...

The growth of cooperatives and enterprises has significantly contributed to bringing agriculture closer to development trends in the world such as organic agriculture and circular agriculture.
