In Quảng Ngãi, the sector has made strong strides in resource management, environmental protection, farming, livestock production, forestry and fisheries, gradually forming concentrated production zones and applying high technology toward ecological, organic and circular agriculture.

Infrastructure for irrigation and rural clean water has been upgraded. The New Rural Development Program has achieved significant results, improving rural living standards and transforming local landscapes.

The province has also strengthened land, mineral and environmental management through systematic mapping and land certification.
