Hai Phong currently has 185,000 hectares of agricultural land, including nearly 160,000 hectares of rice, producing 800,000 to 900,000 tons of paddy per year; 45,000 hectares of vegetables, yielding 900,000 to 1 million tons annually; 28,000 hectares of fruit trees, producing 400,000 to 450,000 tons; and more than 1,000 hectares of flowers and ornamental plants, supplying millions of seedlings and plants each year. These conditions provide a strong foundation for building a modern, ecological and high-value agricultural sector.
The city has identified four key pillars for agricultural development: planning and organizing large-scale, concentrated production aligned with regional advantages; accelerating the application of science, technology and digital transformation across the entire agricultural value chain to improve productivity, management efficiency and reduce emissions; developing deep processing industries, logistics systems and building the Hai Phong agricultural and fisheries brand for both domestic and international markets to increase added value; and strengthening the “four-party linkage” between the State, scientists, businesses and farmers as a key solution to mobilize resources, transfer technology, secure market access and promote sustainable development in agriculture and fisheries.

With its potential and advantages, Hai Phong’s agricultural sector aims to build a modern, ecological, efficient and sustainable agriculture, aligned with green growth. This is seen as a key driver to increase farmers’ incomes, ensure food security and strengthen the city’s role as a regional center for agriculture and fisheries in the northern coastal region.
