The agricultural sector in Yen Bai has demonstrated resilience by maintaining production under adverse conditions brought on by natural disasters and climate change. Efforts have focused on integrated and comprehensive development of agriculture, forestry, and new rural construction.

With practical and targeted solutions implemented through various policies, Yen Bai Province achieved notable growth in several agricultural indicators in 2024. Total grain production is estimated at 309,700 tons, reaching 97.1% of the annual target. The output of live meat is expected to reach 80,000 tons, surpassing the target at 106.7%. The total herd of major livestock is projected at 309,700 heads, achieving 97.1% of the planned goal.

Throughout the province, 9,400 hectares out of the planned 13,400 hectares have been newly certified for sustainable forest management (FSC, PEFC/VFCS) and organic farming, achieving 70.14% of the target. Cumulatively, the province is estimated to have certified 36,800 hectares out of the targeted 43,450 hectares. The forest coverage rate has been maintained at a stable 63% in 2024.
