NAEC and a representative from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Vietnam met with Thua Thien-Hue province to discuss agriculture development in the area in the next months.
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.
