The 3rd National Press Award on Agriculture, Farmers, and Rural Areas in Vietnam - 2025 is chaired by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Union in coordination with the Vietnam Journalists' Association; Today's Rural Newspaper/Dan Viet is assigned to coordinate with the Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Agribank) to directly organize and implement.
The Organizing Committee of the Award received nearly 1,900 works from hundreds of press agencies nationwide and more than 480 writing contest entries exploring the 95-year tradition of the Vietnam Farmers' Association. Each work is a topic analyzing the results, limitations, and hottest issues facing agriculture, farmers, and rural areas today; at the same time, proposing solutions to overcome them through actions, through specific mechanisms and policies.
After the preliminary round, the Organizing Committee selected 60 best works for the Final Round. Next, the Final Jury independently judged, then met and selected 34 best works to award 2 A prizes, 4 B prizes, 6 C prizes, 10 Encouragement prizes and 12 Special prizes.
The Organizing Committee's assessment shows that most of the entries have deeply reflected the transition from traditional agricultural production to a multi-value economic model, green agriculture, and a typical circular economy. There have been many excellent entries focusing on writing and reflecting on the model of a new, civilized, modern farmer, portraits of outstanding, inspirational Vietnamese farmers. There have also been a series of articles expressing the concerns of journalists about the conflicting issues arising in the new context of the current agricultural sector.
This year's press works have performed well in their role of social supervision and criticism with many articles, radio and television programs that deeply reflect and analyze the difficulties in mechanisms and policies for agriculture, farmers and rural areas such as issues of applying science and technology; capital, credit, agricultural insurance, etc.
At the ceremony, the organizing committee also launched the 4th National Press Award on Agriculture, Farmers and Rural Areas of Vietnam - 2026.
