AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING
IN 2021

The agriculture sector continued to act as the backbone of the
economy during the pandemic, which was recorded to reach positive results:

Crops production: The annual yield of most crops was reported to

reach higher than that in 2020, especially the yield of winter-spring paddy
reached 61 quintals/hectare, which was recorded to reach the highest
figure than ever. Cereal production reached 29.44 thousand tons, an
increase of 1.73%, in comparison with that in 2020. Value chain
development linkage models continued to be implemented which brought
high economic efficiency.

Livestock production: The livestock production saw a positive
growth due to the recovery of pig farming after the 2019 African swine
fever epidemic, and poultry production was recorded to develop well.

Production of pig live-weight reached 28,117 tons, an increase of 29.88%,
in comparison with that in 2020; poultry live-weight production reached
15,620.9 tons, an increase of 21.39%; poultry eggs reached 48,047
thousand eggs, an increase of 7.45%.

Forestry production: Forestry production mainly focused on
sustainable development, improving productivity, quality and value of
production forests; increasing the added value of wood manufactured
products. Newly concentrated forest area was estimated to reach 9,829.9

hectares; of which, forest production made up 96.93%. Wood production
3
reached 944 thousand m , an increase of 2.29%; firewood production
reached 181,660 ste, an increase of 71.75%, in comparison with that of the
same period.

Fishery production: Total fishery production reached 36 thousand
tons, an increase of 2.84%, in comparison with that in 2020; of which
captured production saw a growth of 0.24% and aquaculture production
reached 11.76%.
