Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Quan has urged northern Bac Giang province to foster the application of science and technology in agriculture production so as to improve the quality and yield of farm products.
At his working session with local key leaders on November 30, Quan stressed that the province needs to determine what its key agricultural products are, thus outlining sci-tech application plans for further developing them in the coming time.
Along with mobilising its internal resources, Bac Giang should call on enterprises to invest in the field, he noted.
The local authorities are also required to seek more markets for their produce through promotion activities and registering for the geographical indication .
During the session, participants pointed out difficulties facing the locality in producing and selling agricultural products, saying that agricultural production lacks advanced facilities and technologies.
To realise the objectives of the Science and Technology Development Strategy by 2020 and create impetus for the province’s socio-economic development, the local authorities asked the ministry to support the province in implementing Japan and Israel ’s projects on applying technology in preserving litchi, a specialty of Bac Giang, they said.
