Mr. Hoang Hai Minh, Thue Thien – Hue provincial authority, said that although regional agriculture has made considerable strides in recent years, it continues to confront a number of constraints and deficiencies, including a lack of sustainability and a lack of competitive capacity. Post-harvest preservation and processing are still undeveloped, as are unbranded goods and firms' involvement in agricultural and rural regions. Particularly, the use of modern technologies is limited, while organic agriculture is conscientious but ineffective.
According to Mr. Hoang Hai Minh, for agriculture in Thua Thien-Hue to develop sustainably, it is necessary to renew mechanisms and policies, with a particular emphasis on land policy; reorganize production, develop, and attract enterprises to invest in agriculture; and promote the application of science and technology, particularly advanced and high technology.
