Hoa Binh province targets 55 million USD from shipments of the products in 2025, and 137 million USD by 2030. The key agricultural products are envisaged to contribute 3.17 percent to the province’s total export revenue by 2025, and the figure will increase to 3.92 percent by 2030.
The products are expected to be shipped to traditional markets of Vietnam such as the US (accounting for 20 percent of total exports), the EU (25 percent), China (15 percent), Japan (10 percent) and the Republic of Korea (10 percent), and other markets (15 percent).
A wide range of measures have been outlined to achieve the set targets, with focus on trade promotion activities; policies to attract foreign investment to access state-of-the-art technologies and advanced management skills, and join the global value chains; application of cutting-edge cultivation methods; and development of efficient production models.
