Hanoi Gear Up to High-Tech Agriculture
March 9, 2012| |
Hanoi's Department of Agriculture and Rural Development issued policies to assist organizations and individuals in developing farming production with focus on building infrastructure, investing in processing plants and applying high technologies and scientific advances in 2012-2016. To implement these policies, the government has funded a project for five years with a total investment of VND 8,442 billion, including VND 3,502 billion for agriculture production and VND 4,830 billion for building fundamental infrastructure in 161 communes.
"These policies and funds are expected to make breakthroughs in the capital's agriculture in the future, as well as narrow the development gap between rural and urban areas" says Chairman of the Hanoi's People's Committee Nguyen The Thao.
