Vietnam to Set Up Hi-Tech R&D Centers
July 27, 2007| |
Can Tho province in Vietnam will soon have three agricultural research and development centers devoted to the use of advanced technology for developing new plant and animal varieties. The main facility will serve as a venue for research and academic interfaces, while the two auxiliary centers will be devoted to research in agricultural production. Priority projects will be plant breeding, the development of orchards, and expansion of vegetable plantations.
Support activities to be provided by the centers include human resources training, and the improvement of management and product quality. Fine-tuning a rice processing system to meet the standards in the European Union and the US has also been included in the development program.
