Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnam General Council of Agriculture and Rural Development held a ceremony in Hanoi on October 17 to honour 90 outstanding brands and products under the “Vietnam Golden Agricultural Brand Awards 2025.”
This is the 11th edition of the annual programme, which aims to recognise leading agricultural enterprises, cooperatives, and individuals that have made significant contributions to Vietnam’s agriculture, farmers, and rural development.
After nearly six months of evaluation since April, a central council selected 90 outstanding brands and products for recognition. These brands represent a wide range of sectors including crop cultivation, animal husbandry, aquaculture, food processing, agricultural technology, and One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.
All honoured units met strict criteria for product quality, safe production process, innovation, environmental protection, and community contribution.
Speaking at the ceremony, Ho Xuan Hung, Chairman of the Vietnam General Association of Agriculture and Rural Development, emphasised that in the first nine months of 2025, Vietnam’s agricultural sector continued to play a vital role in supporting the national economy.
The country’s agriculture, forestry, and fishery export turnover reached 52.31 billion USD, up 14% year-on-year, with a trade surplus of nearly 16 billion USD, up 17.6%. Key products such as rice, coffee, fruit, pepper, and seafood have expanded their markets and strengthened the global reputation of Vietnamese farm produce.
According to Hung, these achievements reflect the relentless efforts and innovation of enterprises, cooperatives, scientists, and millions of farmers who are contributing to building a greener, more modern, and sustainable agricultural sector./.
