Also on September 6, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) Le Minh Hoan visited BIOMIN Research Center (BRC) in Tulln near Vienna.

The centre, run by DSM Group, is a world leading research facility on animal nutrition. It has made its presence in Vietnam since 1995 and invested in agricultural research centres in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong with total capital of over 30 million USD.

In a meeting with Martin Eichtinger, Lower Austrian State Government Member responsible for housing, labor and international relations and leaders of the centre, Hoan said that Vietnam keens on cooperating with world leading firms to shorten the development gap in agriculture with the world, thus switching to an agriculture sector with a high ratio of knowledge, science and technology, especially biotechnology, dealing with problems caused by climate change.

Franz Waxenecker, Managing Director of BIOMIN, said that Vietnamese farmers are facing many challenges in breeding, including issues in improving the health and productivity of livestock by using natural and environmentally-friendly products to reduce independence on antibiotics.

Since 1995, BIOMIN has sought solutions for agricultural and animal nutrition to help Vietnamese farmers deal with the issues, he noted./.
