Agricultural restructuring in Vietnam is agricultural development associated with the arrangement and rearrangement of production specialties according to the maximum use of comparative advantages and optimal use of input resources to create economic efficiency, improve competitiveness, and promote a sustainable agricultural sector. This development process is associated with changing production scale to create high-quality and high-value agricultural products in line with market demand and effectively use domestic resources. Responding to the requirements of restructuring the agricultural sector, the government has issued many policies to implement in 2012-2020. The implementation of the restructuring policy showed the percentage of added value in the total production value of the agricultural sector has increased from 63.9% in 2012 to nearly 80% in 2018. Labor worked in the agricultural, forestry, and fishery sector was 21.6 million people, labor productivity was 1,543 USD/person. Compared with 2012 agricultural labor, which had decreased by 3.97 million people, labor productivity had increased by 431,0 USD/person, an average increase of 6.67%/year, nearly double the set target (3.5%/year). The proportion of fishery production value increased from 22.48% in 2012 to 24.32% in 2018. The forestry production value increased from 2.69% in 2012 to 3.42% in 2018. The proportion of the added value of fisheries rose from 18.8% to 20.5%, forestry increased from 3.8 to 4.5%.
The results of restructuring the agricultural sector in recent years have shifted from traditional agricultural production thinking to modern agricultural economic thinking. To achieve the goal of structuring the agricultural sector to create added value, the Government needs to promote the marketization of agricultural activities to ensure agricultural output. resource use in agricultural production.
