Agriculture, forestry and fisheryThe agriculture, forestry and fishery sector in nine months of 2020 faced many difficulties due to drought salinity; African Swine Fever; Covid-19 epidemic in the world has complicated developments, affecting the production and export and import activities of agricultural products. Facing these difficulties, the Agriculture sector has had many timely and effective response solutions, so the production results were fair, the winter-spring and summer-autumn paddy crops were harvested and the prices were quite well; the production of perennial plants had a good growth rate; poultry husbandry is well developed; the pigs are gradually recovering; shrimp export activity started to prosper. The agriculture, forestry and fishery sector has played a supporting role in the economy in difficult times, ensuring the supply of food, essential goods, and an important department to implement wellbeing during a pandemic.a) AgricultureDue to positive crop restructuring, and planting new paddy varieties with high economic value, gradually replacing traditional paddy varieties, the country's winter-spring rice yield this year reached 66.4 quintals/hectare, increasing 0.9 quintal/hectare compared to the winter-spring crop of 2019. Total country's winter-spring paddy production reached 19.9 million tons, a drop of 593.5 thousand tons, in comparison with that of over the previous winter-spring crop because the cultivated area this year reached 3,024.1 thousand hectares, a decrease of 3.2%, of which 30.6 thousand hectares of paddy were damaged by drought and salinity, so the winter-spring rice harvest area reached only 2,993.5 thousand hectares, a drop of 130.6 thousand hectares compared to the previous year.As of mid-September, the total winter paddy cultivated area in the country reached 1,512.6 thousand hectares, an equal to 97.1% of over the same period last year, of which the Northern localities reached 1,050.8 thousand hectares, an equal to 98.1%; the Southern provinces reached 461.8 thousand hectares, equaling 95%. Cultivated area of winter paddy this year in the North was recorded low due to some localities converted a part of paddy cultivation area to other uses, of which the Red River Delta reached 484.5 thousand hectares, a drop of 12.8 thousand hectares compared to that of over the previous year; the Northern Midlands and Mountain areas reached 418.9 thousand hectares, a decline of 2.7 thousand hectares; the North Central areas reached 147.4 thousand hectares, a drop of 4.6 thousand hectares. Some localities witnessed a sharp decrease in area of winter paddy: of which, Thanh Hoa decreased by 4.7 thousand hectares; Hai Phong decreased by 2.7 thousand hectares; Hanoi decreased by 2.4 thousand hectares. Up to now, early winter paddies in the North was in period of firmness and maturity, of which 58.8 thousand hectares were harvested, equaling 60% of over the same period in 2019; yield was estimated at 51.3 quintals/hectare, rising by 0.3 quintals/hectare.This year, the country cultivated 1,944.8 thousand hectares of summer-autumn paddy, a decrease of 64.8 thousand hectares compared to that of the previous year, of which the Mekong River Delta reached 1,523.9 thousand hectares, a decline of 45.2 thousand hectares. As of September 15, 2020, the localities harvested 1,618.7 thousand hectares of summer-autumn paddy, holding 83.2% of the cultivated area and an equal to 91.7% of over the same period last year, of which the Mekong River Delta collected 1,272.1 thousand hectares, holding 83.5% and an equal to 90.3%. According to the local reports, the country's summer-autumn paddy yield this year was estimated at 55.7 quintals/hectare, an increase of 0.9 quintals/hectare compared to that of over the same period in 2019, but due to the decrease in cultivated area, the total production of the summer-autumn paddy in 2020 was estimated at 10.83 million tons, a drop of 119.3 thousand tons, of which the Mekong River Delta reached 8.57 million tons, a fall of 110.7 thousand tons. Some localities were recorded a sharp decrease in summer-autumn paddy cultivating area, of which Tien Giang by 16.7 thousand hectares; Kien Giang by 6.9 thousand hectares; Dong Thap by 6.8 thousand hectares.As of mid-September, the Mekong River Delta cultivated 590.1 thousand hectares of autumn-winter paddy, an equal to 95.1% of over the same period last year due to the influence from the production progress of late summer-autumn crop; some areas do not have enough production time, so farmer temporarily let the land rest, in order to alluvium come to fields for the upcoming winter-spring crop. In addition, due to concerns about drought, high alum content in the soil, which can not guarantee production, some localities (Ben Tre, Tien Giang, Tra Vinh) have directed to cut down the area of autumn-winter paddy.As of mid-September, the country cultivated 909.4 thousand hectares of maize, equaling 97% of over the same period last year; 101.6thousand hectares of sweet potatoes, equaling 92.2%; 163.4 thousand hectares of groundnut, equaling 95.2%; 41 thousand hectares of soybeans, equaling 90.1%; 992.4 thousand hectares of vegetables and beans, equaling 100.4%.The total area of perennial trees in 9 months was estimated at 3,580.4 thousand hectares, rising by 1.4% of over the same period last year, of which industrial plants reached 2,193.3 thousand hectares, rising by 0.1%; fruit reached 1,097.6 thousand hectares, rising by 4.2%; oil-bearing fruit trees reached 179.2 thousand hectares, growing by 0.9%; spices and medicinal plants reached 49.3 thousand hectares, growing by 1.2%.

African swine fever has been basically controlled, pig herds are gradually recovering but the re-herding is still slow, the breeder price has been continuously high since the beginning of the year (about 2.5-3.0 million VND/head) so the re-herds are mainly concentrated in large farms. Pig population as of September 2020 increased by 3.6% compared to that of over the same period in 2019; production of pig living weight in 9 months was estimated at 2,483.1 tons, falling by 3.2% (it reached 846.2 thousand tons in the third quarter, rising by 9.7%). The total herd and poultry production continued to grow due to the expansion of the popolation size and the well-developed corporate sector. However, farmers need to closely monitor market, the authorities provide timely information, control the livestock situation in the localities, should not increase herds massively, avoiding to a surplus of supply. The total poultry population in September increased by 5.7% compared to that of over the same period in 2019; production of poultry living weight in 9 months was estimated at 1,056.7 thousand tons, rising by 11.4% (in the third quarter, it reached 348.6 thousand tons, rising by 7.7%); production of poultry eggs in 9 months reached 10.7 billion eggs, rising by 10.8% (it reached 3.5 billion eggs in the third quarter, rising by 9.6%).As of September 23, 2020, the country was no longer recorded cases of blue ear disease in pigs. Some of diseases were still remain in some localities for less than 21 days: avian influenza was still in Hai Phong, Nghe An, Quang Ngai, Vinh Long, Ca Mau; foot and mouth disease remained in Cao Bang, Quang Tri, Kon Tum, Dak Lak; African swine fever was reported in 251 communes, 92 districts of 27 provinces and central cities.b) Forestry Forestry production in 9 months in 2020 was affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, wood processing enterprises faced difficulties because many export orders of wood were canceled or delayed, thus reducing the purchase of raw materials and production of wood over the same period last year has slowly grown. In the third quarter of 2020, the country’s concentrated forests area was estimated at 63.2 thousand hectares, falling by 6.9% compared to that of over the same period last year; number of dispersed trees reached 22 million, rising by 0.5%; production of wood reached 4,529 thousand m3, rising by 1.5%; firewood production reached 4.6 million ste, rising by 0.9%.

Generally in 9 months, pangasius production was estimated at 1,027.2 thousand tons, falling by 6.1% of over the same period last year. Brackish water shrimp farming is also facing difficulties due to weather changes, drought, early and deep salinity intrusion, salinity and temperature fluctuations that reduce shrimp resistance, total brackish water shrimp farming area. Losses in the 8 months of the year were 36.6 thousand hectares, 2.1 times more than the same period in 2019. However, the shrimp export market is gradually recovering from the third quarter, farmers start to stock new crops.
