Vietnam is a major agricultural exporter. Over half of the country’s labor force works in agriculture. The agricultural output value accounts for about 30 percent of the GDP. In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic was wreaking havoc, Vietnam still exported US$40 billion’s worth of agricultural products. In addition to wood, rice, vegetables, fruits, and shrimp, other well-known Vietnamese agricultural products include tea, cashews, and coffee. Taiwan’s agricultural sector is also highly developed, and it exports agricultural technology and collaborates and holds exchanges with Southeast Asian countries. Taoyuan, which produces fruits and flowers in abundance, has signed an agricultural cooperation MOU with Đồng Tháp Province. If the two sides can exchange technologies as a result, then they will be able to achieve the objective of increasing the agricultural output value.
