He affirmed that the project’s products are advanced and high-quality scientific and technological achievements in agriculture which can compete with alike products of other countries, thus helping save import costs, take initiative in production, processing and preservation, and increase the economic efficiency and export value of Vietnamese farm produce.

Its outcomes affirm the sound cooperation model between the Defence Ministry and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, he added.
To improve the quality of the project implementation for 2018-2020 and following years, the Government leader asked the two ministries to coordinate with authorised offices to bring into full play forces serving agricultural modernisation, particularly in varieties, cultivation tools, and post-harvest methods and machinery.
They were urged to work with the Ministries of Science and Technology, and Finance to give consultations to the Government towards the issuance of regulations assessing and putting into use the project’s products, along with mechanisms to attract businesses and localities to use and develop these products.
