In the context of the growing economy, the agricultural sector plays an important role in providing food, raw materials and at the same time is an important source of income for many countries, including Vietnam.

So what is agricultural production and what are the characteristics of Vietnam’s agriculture? Let’s find out with BB Agri!

 

What is agricultural production?

Agricultural production plays an important role in providing food and raw materials for society. It is a diverse industry, including farming, animal husbandry, agricultural preliminary processing, forestry and fisheries.

In the process of development, agriculture divided into two main types:

Pure agriculture

Net agriculture is a manufacturing sector with limited inputs where the product mainly caters to farming families. Unlike intensive agriculture, purely agricultural agriculture usually does not use mechanized means and often relies on manual labor. It is an important part of the rural economy, preserving traditional cultures and contributing to the diversity of food sources.

Intensive agriculture

In contrast, intensive agriculture is a field of production that is specialized in all stages, from cultivation, animal husbandry to product processing. The distinctive feature of intensive agriculture is its high mechanization, the use of modern machines and technologies to optimize the production process. Large inputs, including pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and breeding, help improve yield and product quality.

Intensive agriculture not only meets market needs, but also focuses on exports. The use of high technology optimizes production and enhances productivity, thereby creating the highest source of financial income for participants. At the same time, specialization helps improve product quality and meet diverse market needs.

Features of Vietnamese agricultural production

In the context of Vietnam’s economy, agricultural production plays an important role, contributing greatly to the country’s GDP. To better understand the characteristics of agricultural production in Vietnam, let’s find out the important points below:

• Agricultural production in Vietnam is often regional, depending on the specific natural conditions of each region. To ensure stable and high-quality output, the selection of suitable crops and livestock is important. Diverse crop systems help stabilize yields in the face of natural environmental fluctuations.
• Land is the main resource for agriculture, and protecting farmland is a top priority. Restricting the conversion of agricultural land to construction purposes is important. Instead, soil reclamation and rehabilitation should be sought to enhance quality and produce more membrane grease.
• To ensure product quality, the use of a variety of plant varieties and livestock is important. This helps to cope with natural variability and ensures that yields can compensate for each other, keeping product quality stable.
• Agriculture in Vietnam often faces high seasonality and the influence of diverse weather. This requires flexibility in the production process and management of work schedules. Variations in weather make each season especially important.
• Vietnam’s agriculture faces challenges such as the movement of peasant labour to industry, strengthening techniques and production processes is necessary. With tropical monsoon agriculture and diverse terrain, Vietnam has advantages to develop sustainable agriculture.

Synthesis of types of Vietnamese agricultural production products

Vietnam’s agriculture focuses not only on foods such as rice, corn, and potatoes but also diversified with a wide range of products.

• Rice production: Rice plays an important role in agricultural production, being the main source of trade and consumer demand.
• Crop production: In addition to food, farmers also focus on producing crops and vegetables to meet family needs and generate income from trade.
• Production of meat and eggs from livestock: Poultry such as chickens, ducks, cattle such as pigs, buffaloes, cows and seafood such as fish and shrimp, strongly contribute to the production of meat, eggs and animal food.

Conclude

Hope the information shared above helps you understand what agricultural production is and the characteristics of agricultural production in Vietnam. In Vietnam, with its rich geographical diversity and culture, the agricultural sector is growing and faces new challenges and opportunities. This places high demands on innovation and modernization to ensure the sustainability and development of agriculture in the future.
