Over the past years, although the production value of the agricultural sector

significantly to the implementation of the tasks. economic, political - social capital
of the capital. Agricultural production in the suburbs of Hanoi has made great
progress, such as accelerating mechanization, applying science and technology to
production; consolidation of land plots is regarded as a breakthrough, achieving
outstanding results; Initially formed and expanded specialized areas of cultivation,
productivity, quality and economic efficiency are quite high. However, compared
with the demand for sustainable agricultural development, the capital is not
suitable, besides, the agriculture outside the city of Hanoi has many limitations
such as the area of agricultural production will increasingly narrowed by rapid
urbanization; small scale production, scaled production, low quality of production
and competitiveness, unsustainable production; The internal restructuring of the
agricultural sector has been slow and unstable; The research, application and
transfer of scientific and technological advances into production is still slow and
effective. People can not rely on the fields to improve their incomes as well as
