Group of works related to agricultural and rural development - Group of works related to agricultural development associated with international economic integration - Group of works related to agricultural development in Hai Duong 1.3 Issues that need to be addressed In the process of reviewing domestic and international research works on agricultural development, some issues can be found: - About international research projects Studies have examined developing countries' agriculture in the process of shifting to agricultural commodity production associated with world agricultural trade; This shows that the economic development of a country must start from the development and restructuring of agriculture and be driven by market demand; agricultural transition involves diversification in the agricultural sector to meet domestic and international market needs; making arguments about the impact of policy to determine the development direction of agricultural and rural economy; addressing issues of regional development policies, policies to support inputs and outputs for agricultural production, agricultural trade policies; At the same time, success and failure patterns in agricultural and rural development are raised and farmers' problems are solved These studies have reference value for building a modern agricultura in short-term improve quality and develop products with advantages, enhance brand awareness; and in the long term, it is moved forward to quality products and high productivity to ensure national food security and sustainable development - About domestic research projects The studies are focused on Vietnamese territories, with little correlation and assessment with the region and the world, leading to limited analysis and conclusions about agriculture This is a suggestion for the thesis to approach the current picture of agricultural development and conditions for developing agriculture in the context of international economic integration in the following years A number of Works that have summarized the theory and practice of models on cooperation production linkages, and value chains in agriculture provide valuable data for the author in the research, determining how to organize agricultural production to raise the added value regained in agricultural production in order to raise income for farmers, solve the relationship of interests in development Some research works directly in Hai Duong province on the process of agricultural development have mentioned the following aspects: economic restructuring of the agricultural sector; rural economic restructuring in the process of Industrialization and Modernization; land consolidation; cooperative economy; Recent policies to support farmers to invest in agricultural mechanization have shown advantages, limitations and problems for agricultural development in Hai Duong province in the process of national economic integration This is a useful reference when analyzing the theoretical and practical basis for building agricultural development model in the context of integration in Hai Duong province 2.2 Internation economic integration on agricultural development 2.2.1 Internation economic integration International economic integration in the current context is not merely a limitation in the scope of tariff reductions but has been extended to all areas related to economic-trade policy, aimed at expanding markets for goods and services, eliminating tangible and intangible barriers to international trade exchange 2.2.2 Content of international economic integration (i) Preferential trade agreement (PTA) (ii) Free trade agreement (FTA) (iii) Customs Union (CU) (iv) Common market (v) Economic-monetary union 2.2.3 Content of agricultural development in the context of international economic integration 2.2.3.1 The need for agricultural development in the context of integration It can be said that agricultural development in the context of integration will achieve the following benefits: + Allocating resources in agriculture + Diversifying products and markets + Receiving new science and technology, improving quality, productivity + Improving the quality of human resources in agriculture 2.2.3.2 Content of agricultural development in the context of integration - Sustainability-oriented agriculture development - Export-oriented agricultural development - Application of high technology in agriculture 11 2.2.4 Criteria for assessing agricultural development in international economic integration - Criteria group of general agriculture development - Criteria group of economic efficiency 2.3 Factors affecting agricultural development in the context of international economic integration 2.3.1 Climate Change 2.3.2 Infrastructure structure 2.3.3 Capacity of production subject 2.3.4 Science and technology 2.3.5 Mechanisms and policies on agricultural economic development 2.4 Experience of some localities on agricultural development in the context of international economic integration 2.4.1 Experience in developing high-tech agriculture in Da Lat, Lam Dong province 2.4.2 Experience in husbandry in Dong Nai 2.4.3 Experience of An Giang province 2.5 Lessons learned applicable to Hai Duong province Agriculture is of special importance, having a key position in the economic structure of the country in general and of Hai Duong province in particular Through studying agricultural development experiences of some provinces in the country, Hai Duong will have many lessons in the strategy of sustainable agricultural development 2.5.1 Lesson of success Firstly, properly identifying the relationship between industry and agriculture in the process of industrialization and modernization and socioeconomic development of Hai Duong Secondly, agricultural development is associated with the protection of environment and natural resources 12 Thirdly, agricultural and rural development is associated with poverty reduction and improvement of rural living standards Fourth, in order to have a clean agriculture, sustainable development, high productivity, with valuable products, it is needed to have a "fourhouse" structure in processing and consumption At the same time, it is required to promote the development of high-tech agriculture in association with market demand, considering high-tech agriculture as a breakthrough to develop high-quality, efficient and sustainable agriculture 2.5.2 Lesson of failure Firstly, agricultural economics restructuring is still limited Secondly, most provinces still develop agriculture without environmental sustainability 2.5.3 The cause of this limitation is due to: Firstly, thinking and vision reflected in the planning and organization of agricultural development in the new conditions of many local levels in our country are not yet complying with market rules Secondly, small, scattered, fragmented production organizations which have not linked sustainable benefits among entities involved in production and consumption; no value chain has been established and the ability to participate in agricultural value chains remains poor; waste of natural resources; seriously abusing chemical substances, including toxic substances in the production, processing and preservation of agricultural products for short-term and immediate benefits; not paying adequate attention to the health of both producers and consumers; management of quality standards for agricultural products is particularly poor Thirdly, the agricultural production method is heavy in seasonality, agricultural technology level and infrastructure system are out of date; it is not yet active in breeding structure and breeding technology, genetic technology; The market for agricultural products is very unstable, strongly dependent on a few markets; The market of inputs with many negatives 13 causes very high risks for both production and consumption; The overall strategy and policy of godos items, godos sectos, and value chains are not associated with backed financial resources, or there are financial resources but wastefully used so no practical effects have been brought Fourth, the ability to access land, credit, and energy for production of both farmers and enterprises that want to apply high technology has many barriers in terms of policies and psychology from farmers Fifthly, the impact of climate change is fast with strong intensity, having deeper impact than the adaptability of the whole agricultural sector; The strategic competition of many strong agricultural countries is putting pressure on home failure for the country’s agriculture, the impact of climate change and sea level rise, causing saline intrusion, extreme weather events occuring with strong intensity, or deeper, faster impact due to the adaptability of people and businesses 14 CHAPTER CURRENT STATUS OF AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT IN HAI DUONG PROVINCE IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC INTEGRATION IN 2011-2016 PERIOD 3.1 Conditions affecting agricultural development in Hai Duong province in the period of 2011 -
