HCM City accelerates shift toward ecological urban agriculture

Ho Chi Minh City will focus on developing ecological urban agriculture in the coming period, according to the city People’s Committee Office. Following the merger with Binh Duong and Ba Ria–Vung Tau provinces, the city now has more than 453,900 hectares of agricultural land – nearly four times the area before merger – spanning 168 commune-level administrative units. This expansion creates new space, potential and comparative advantages for agricultural development. By 2026, the agricultural sector aims to build a modern urban agriculture system, shifting from a production-focused approach to an agricultural economic mindset, and developing multi-functional, multi-value agriculture.
