Only shrimp , Q3 2013 EU exports to reach over U.S. $ 125 million , an increase of 40.5 % over the same period last year . However , by not focusing so clue that the value of agricultural products brought still unstable .
Present and future , agriculture remains the platform of Vietnam 's economy .
