Addressing the ceremony, the PM said the agricultural sector needs to forge ahead with reform to deal with challenges such as climate change, sea level rise, saltwater intrusion, declining production value, agricultural income inequality, and increasing non-agricultural activities.
The Vietnam National University of Agriculture should seek to encourage businesses to reduce the use of pesticide and increase investment on organic and high-quality agriculture to achieve the green growth target, the Government leader said.
In the context of the fourth industrial revolution, it is necessary to seek measures for Vietnam’s agriculture to become a model, but not to lag behind, he stressed.
PM Phuc highlighted the others concerning issues that include drawing private and foreign investment, developing agricultural cooperatives, devising land policies, and promoting farm produce brands,
He also asked initiatives to improve the production system, and increase the quality of products and local income.
The Cabinet leader suggested building agricultural clusters and forging connectivity between farmers and businesses.
