Hanoi (VNA) –
The implementation of the 10th PartyCentral Committee’s Resolution 26-NQ/TW on agriculture, farmers and rural areasin the past decade has brought about marked achievements, said Politburo memberand head of the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission Nguyen Van Binh.

He made the remark at a meeting on August 2 between the Central SteeringCommittee for reviewing 10 years of implementing Resolution 26 and the Party committee of the Ministry of Agricultureand Rural Development, which discussed a draft report summing up the resolution’simplementation in the past decade.

Binh noted that agriculture has witnessed a strong shift towardscommodity production, with the export value of agro-forestry-fishery productsin 2017 increasing nearly six times over that of 2008. Rural areas across thecountry get a facelift thanks to the campaign of building new style ruralareas, and the spiritual and material life of rural residents has improvedremarkably.

The draft summing report attested to the correctness of Resolution 26 ona sector that accounts for nearly 70 percent of the national population and 40percent of the nation’s workforce.

According to the report, several goals for 2020 set in the resolution arelikely to be fulfilled, including raising the income of rural residents by morethan 2.5 times compared to present (the per capita income in rural areas in 2017was 32 million VND, up 3.49 times from 2008).

The agricultural sector will employ around 30 percent of the workforceby 2020 (the rate was 38.6 percent in June this year), while half of thecommunes nationwide will achieve all criteria for new style rural areas.

Besides the achievements, delegates at the meeting pointed out the problemsin the implementation of the resolution and targets that are unlikely to becompleted. They also put forth recommendations on how to carry out theresolution in the 2021-2030 period.

Opinions at the meeting andreports from relevant ministries, agencies and localities will serve asimportant foundations for the Steering Committee to compile a report on the implementationof Resolution 26 to be submitted to the Politburo in the fourth quarter of thisyear.

Resolution 26, which was passed by the 7th plenum of the 10th Party Central Committee on August 5, 2008, was the first thematic resolution toassess and define comprehensive and synchronous solutions to issues related toagriculture, farmers and rural areas.-VNA
