Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam has paid due attention to improving farmers’ capacity, makingit easier for them to get access to financial instruments, as well as helpingthem seek market for agricultural products, Chairman of the Vietnam Farmers’ Union(VFU) Luong Quoc Doan said.

Hosting President of the TrustedAgent Network (TAN) Diep Jason in Hanoi on September 8, Doan highlighted the union’s bold steps in support of farmers overthe past time, which include the organisation of vocational training courses, the supply of agricultural equipment and materials, and the transfer of technology.

Currently, a total outstanding loan of more than 18 trillion VND (748 million USD)has been arranged for agricultural production, he said, adding as banks’complicated lending procedures could be a barrier for farmers who need smallpersonal loans, TAN’s investment is necessary for them.

Doan spoke highly of the network’s project on improving Vietnamese farmers’capacity, and stressed that Vietnamese farmers need financial support to betterintegrate into the world.

Diep Jason, for his part, expressed his hope to cooperate with the VFU to carryout the project, as well as assist Vietnamese farmers to enhance their digitalfinancial capability.
