In recent years, Yen Thuy's agricultural sector has developed with
breakthroughs. The agricultural structure has changed to promote its
advantages, matching market demands and adapting to climate change. The value

conditions.
Along with cultivation, the district’s livestock industry has made good
progress with the production value in 2022 reaching nearly 640 billion VND,

farms with measures applied to control diseases and ensure environmental
safety. The district also maintains vaccination, quarantine, slaughter control,
and disinfects to prevent major epidemics.

under the Ministry of Science and Technology, for example, grapefruit, onion,
taro, Green squash, and 17 OCOP products.
The district authorities also paid attention to brand building
and product promotion, and increased support for production-consumption
linkages.
