March 6, 2013| |
In a published report, biotechnology was said to play a key role in Vietnam's Agriculture Sector. As Vietnam is regarded as one of the largest exporters of agricultural products in the world, modern crop production technologies will find various applications in the country. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Thi Xuan Thu, said "Biotechnology in Vietnam's agricultural sector has reached many achievements. These include research and application of gene technology in selecting and creating species of crops and livestock, which have high yield and good quality and are resistant to diseases."
The country's leading research institutes: Institutes of Agricultural Sciences for Southern Vietnam, the Southern Horticultural Research Institute, the Cuu Long Delta Rice Research Institute and the Research Institute for Aquaculture No. 2 have made great contributions to the research and application of biotechnology in agriculture, especially in Southern region, a key agricultural area of the country.
