Vietnam - AGRICULTURE

 


Agriculture

The reform of the land system has favored the agricultural growth and a favourable balance of trade in the sector. Vietnam remains an important producer (the third in the world since 1989) and exporter of rice, but the growth of the production reaches the limits of farmlands and domestic food tensions can be expected.

Farmland surface area:

The areas under cultivation include arable lands and those with permanent crops. In Vietnam they represent 7 250 000 hectares.
