Vietnam’s Central Highlands province of Lam Dong and Belgium’s province of East Flanders will team up to promote the planting of vegetables, fruit trees and decorative plants.
A memorandum of understanding on the partnership, which will also see the involvement of the Hanoi University of Agriculture, was inked in Da Lat, Lam Dong, on March 3.
The partnership will enable both localities to exchange experts, train technicians, transfer new farming techniques to farmers, and coordinate in product sales.
“The programme will open a new prospect for Lam Dong to promote the sustainable production of vegetables, fruit trees and flowers,” Chairman of the Lam Dong People’s Committee Huynh Duc Hoa said.
East Flanders Deputy Governor Marc De Buck said both provinces will benefit from the partnership as it will tie them up to joint research, training and production activities.
A research centre on vegetable, fruit and decorative plants will also be established in Lam Dong province under this cooperation programme, which is scheduled to last in five years./.
