For vegetables, increasing the area and diversifying types and seasons to meet the rapidly increasing consumer demand domestically and for export. Along with that, build clusters linking production with processing and consumption in localities and regions with large vegetable output. Develop safe vegetable production areas, focusing on ensuring traceability of origin.

With coffee, the Strategy also determines to quickly promote the issuance of growing area codes and traceability of origin. Promote processing and diversification of coffee products, especially deep processing to add value and create a difference in Vietnamese coffee associated with building and developing the Vietnamese coffee brand.

The strategy also clearly states the goals, tasks, and solutions for our country's rubber and pepper trees. Reorganize production, form key fruit production areas based on promoting the potential and advantages of ecological regions, associated with the development of processing factories and consumption markets. Prioritize the development of a number of advantageous fruit trees with consumer markets such as mango, banana, dragon fruit, pineapple...

In 2023, Vietnam's total export turnover of agricultural, forestry and fishery products will reach 53.01 billion USD . Among the 6 export items reaching over 3 billion USD, the names of products in the farming industry include: Vegetables and fruits reaching 5.69 billion USD, up 69.2% over the same period last year; rice 4.78 billion USD, up 38.4%; cashew nuts 3.63 billion USD, up 17.6%; coffee 4.18 billion USD, up 3.1%;
