As natural disasters increase in frequency and complexity, it is encouraging that the capital’s agricultural sector continues to grow. Accordingly, the city set the key task of reviewing and adjusting the planning of agricultural development in 2018 to ensure synergies with the application of high-technology, organic agriculture, and clean agriculture.
Hanoi also asked the departments and localities to promote joining their agricultural supply and demand lines with Hanoi, modernize production, and encourage agricultural development in association with environmental protection.
