Although the service industry
occupies a great proportion, the agriculture has itself some
definite strong points. According to the statistics given by
the Congress of Provincial Party, the agricultural land area
is about 126,973 hectares, in which 68,500 hectares is land
for growing yearly trees, and 58,473 hectares land for growing
long-term trees and fruit trees. The land fund is diversified
and abundant in which red basalt soil belonging to the
excellent land group has an area of about 64,000 hectares
suitable to develop perennial industrial trees and plants such
as rubber, coffee, cashew, pepper, fruit trees, maize,
cassava, etc. Agricultural products of the whole province in
the year of 2001 and in the next year 2002 have been estimated

The infrastructure for
agricultural
development in the province is quite satisfactory. To the
year of 2000, the province has 39 hydraulic projects of which
19 reservoirs, 14 dams with a capacity of water containing of
57 million cubic meters, 3 drainage canals, 2 anti salt water
dykes, etc. All villages have been equipped with electricity
network, asphalt roads, and telecommunication lines. The
proportion of rural household users of electricity is 87%, of
clean water 75%. |

In spite of having potentialities
to develop agriculture, large areas specializing in cultivation
have not been formed yet, the production has not closely
synchronized with the processing and consumption market yet.
The processing industry is still weak. The breeding still
occupies a small proportion, so the agricultural efficiency is
still low. In order to overcome weak points mentioned above,
and speed up the agricultural branch, a number of orientations
of calling for investment in the agriculture in the future are
as follows :
-
Priority to develop to the
agriculture by producing goods, forming areas specializing in
cultivation with great output or high quality, e.g.
industrial tree area, fruit tree area, vegetables, flowers,
crops and rice areas. Pay attention to farm development and
big production households to achieve the targets.
-
Increase the breeding in the
agricultural production by concentrating on 3 main animals :
pigs, chicken, and cows.
-
Create favorable conditions for
various economic sectors to invest more in agricultural
processing, especially applying the new technology in
processing the agricultural products, raising the product
value, creating competition on the market to facilitate the
consumption.
A number of fields and projects
calling for investment in the agriculture in the near future :
-
Food
processing projects for human beings and animals using raw
materials from maize, maize powder, soya bean, peanut,
cassava.
-
Rubber processing projects using raw materials from natural
rubber exploited in the province.
-
Coffee preserving and processing projects using new
technology.
-
Fruit
tree growing and processing projects to produce fruit juice,
canned fruit, dries fruit, fruit for export, etc.
-
Industrial salt processing projects.
-
Projects to breed and kill for food, preserve and process
meat of pigs, cows, chicken, and poultry.
-
Projects to grow and preserve vegetables and flowers, using
new technology, e.g. preserving vegetables in the vacuum.
Projects to develop water conservancy.
