Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has emphasised the role ofagriculture, farmers and rural areas in the country’s industrialisationand modernisation.
It should be fully understood that bothopportunities and challenge exist in and out the country to ensure thatthe restructuring of agriculture is in line with common policy, theParty leader remarked on March 14 at a Hanoi conference assessing thefive-year implementation of a resolution on agriculture and ruraldevelopment.
He asked Party committees and authorities at alllevels to focus on this key area of development, particularly bycreating an appropriate economic structure within each region andlocality to fully tap potential. He also called on them to improve formsof production, ensure consistently high-quality and protect theenvironment.
In addition, agencies need to promptlyissue guidance on the implementation of policies stated in theGovernment’s resolutions and action programmes, ensuring that they matchthe reality on the ground in each locality. Particular assistance isrequired on regulations relating to land, investment, tax, funding ruraldevelopment and vocational training, he added.
The latter willallow farmers to become more self-sufficient and apply advanced scienceand technology in their production, he argued.
