The 63 outstanding Vietnamese farmers of 2024 were voted as very worthy people.

There are many excellent Vietnamese farmers in 2024 who have succeeded with green, environmentally friendly production models following the Party and Government's policies on green economic development, green agriculture, and circularity. In addition, many excellent farmers in 2024 are also increasingly interested in building and protecting agricultural product brands...

It is expected that next October, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Union will organize a series of activities to be proud of Vietnamese farmers, including the 9th National Farmers' Forum in 2024 with the theme "Chairman of the Vietnam Farmers' Union - Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development: Listening to farmers speak".

This is the first time the two top leaders of the Vietnam Farmers' Union and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development have co-chaired a meeting to listen to farmers express their thoughts and aspirations.

Along with that is the ceremony to honor and award titles to 63 outstanding Vietnamese farmers and commend 63 typical cooperatives and many other activities.
