Remarkable achievements of 2025
According to the Deputy Director of the State Reserve Department, Ms. Nguyen Thi Pho Giang: 2025 is a year full of imprints for the State Reserve Department, marking a period of strong transformation, from organizational structure to institutions and management methods. According to Ms. Giang, 2025 not only recorded impressive figures but also demonstrated outstanding efforts in organizing and implementing the tasks of the industry, especially in the context of having to rearrange the organizational structure according to the policy of building a streamlined and effective apparatus.
One of the important achievements in the past year is that the State Reserve Department has successfully imported 500,000 tons of food, including 220,000 tons according to the annual plan and 280,000 tons of additional food to adjust the prices of domestic rice. This is a record number in the history of the Department's operation, showing proactiveness and efficiency in national food reserves.
In addition, during natural disasters and floods, the Department promptly issued national reserves to support affected localities, with a total value of up to 2,611 billion VND. Specifically, in 2025, the Department issued 128,954 tons of rice, supporting food and foodstuffs for social security programs such as Tet Nguyen Dan support, hunger relief, disaster relief, students and afforestation. This action not only helps reduce damage but also enhances the prestige of the Department in the eyes of the people and local authorities.
Another notable figure is the total value of supplies and equipment disbursed to serve disaster prevention and control and search and rescue work up to 261 billion VND, affirming the essential role of the Department in ensuring food security, social security and supporting the Party and State's foreign affairs.
Continue breakthrough in 2026
Looking towards 2026, the State Reserve Department identifies key tasks including continuing to build and improve institutions, especially guiding documents for the implementation of the Law on National Reserves (amended) that was passed by the National Assembly at the end of 2025. Ms. Giang emphasized that the implementation of decrees and circulars guiding the implementation of the Law is an urgent task, aiming to create a solid legal corridor for the sustainable development of national reserve work in the coming years.
Along with that, the Department will continue to implement the National Reserve Development Strategy and the Overall Planning of the National Reserve System, to ensure sufficient resources, be ready to respond to emergency situations, and at the same time improve administrative discipline and the quality of the contingent of civil servants.
In addition to institutional goals, the State Reserve Department will also focus on improving the efficiency of management and operation of the reserve warehouse system, ensuring that the regulation of the food, material and equipment market takes place smoothly, and no shortages occur in emergency situations.
