Da Nang City

Overview

Da Nang is the largest city in central Vietnam and, having achieved rapid economic development in recent years, Vietnam's third city. At once a tourism city known for its beautiful beaches and the Ba Na Hills, it is also the logistics and commercial center of the central region.

The weight of agriculture is small, but it plays an important role as a collection and processing hub for the agricultural products of surrounding provinces. Tien Sa Port functions as an agricultural export port for the central region, and seafood processing and export facilities are also concentrated here.

Features of agriculture

Da Nang City's own farmland area is limited, but vegetable and flower cultivation is carried out in the nearby Hoa Vang district. Fisheries are an important industry, with offshore fishing and the processing and export of squid and octopus thriving.

Da Nang is also drawing attention as a city where food-tech startups gather, developing as a hub for the processing, branding, and e-commerce sales of agricultural products.

Main agricultural products

Seafood (squid, octopus, shrimp), vegetables, flowers, processed livestock products

Exports and logistics

Tien Sa Port is a main export port of central Vietnam, from which agricultural and forestry products such as coffee, pepper, and wood chips are exported. From Da Nang International Airport, agricultural products requiring freshness (fruit, seafood) are also exported by air. It is also the starting point of the East-West Economic Corridor (EWEC), allowing overland transport to Laos and Thailand.
