HCM City will focus on developing ecological urban agriculture in the coming period, according to the city People’s Committee Office.
Following the merger with Bình Dương and Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu 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.
The former HCM City retains strengths as a hub for high-quality plant varieties, livestock breeds and high-tech urban agriculture.
HCM City will review and implement the Urban Agriculture Development Programme for 2026–2030, with a vision to 2050
