Tra Vinh provine's agricultural development toward a Green Economy

A green economy or a clean economy is an economy in which a market-oriented development policy uses the foundation of traditional economies with the goal of ensuring the harmony between the economy and the ecological environment. The basic growth strategy of the green economy is to protect the environment, develop clean production technology and clean energy, and quickly achieve sustainable growth or green growth. Agricultural development in the direction of a green economy is agricultural development based on applying green technology in production, ensuring a green and sustainable food supply while minimizing negative impacts and creating positive impacts that are beneficial for the environment. Therefore, assessing the status of agricultural development toward a green economy is one of the crucial components of proposing a system of green economic development solutions for each locality. The study was carried out to select and appropriately apply green agricultural growth assessment indicators to Tra Vinh province's specifics, analyze agricultural statistical data, and report environmental impacts, survey results of 196 agricultural production households, 100 state managers and experts. Research results show that despite certain efforts, the electrical energy productivity of Tra Vinh's agricultural sector is still decreasing, and the process of restructuring agricultural production towards a green economy is still slow.
