The 3.2-per-cent growth of the agriculture, forestry and fishery sector in nine months remained lower than the previous years due to the severe impacts of Typhoon Yagi in September, she said.
Meanwhile the industry and construction sector grew by 5.37 per cent and services up 6.95 per cent in the nine-month period.
