In his opening remarks, Cao Minh Tuan, Deputy Director of the National Agricultural Extension Centre, noted that Vietnamese agriculture is entering a new stage of development, requiring a profound transformation from agricultural production to an agricultural economy; from focusing on output to enhancing added value; from single-sector development to a multi-value approach associated with green growth, the circular economy, and emissions reduction.
This transformation calls for a new generation of professional farmers built on three foundations: a new mindset, new approaches, and new values.

In recent years, Son La province has successfully shifted from subsistence farming to large-scale commercial agriculture linked to markets and value chains. The province now has more than 85,000 hectares of fruit trees and Son tra (wild apple), over 33,600 hectares of coffee plantations, 825 agricultural cooperatives, and 216 growing area codes.
These achievements provide an important foundation for farmers to transition from being producers to becoming key stakeholders in the agricultural economy.
