PHU YEN (Biz Hub) — France's InVivo NSA Group will join hands with Van Thang Import Export Co on a maize cultivation project in the central province of Phu Yen.

This follows a co-operation agreement inked between the two companies late last week.

Initially, maize will be cultivated on a trial basis on more than 25ha of land in Tay Hoa and Phu Hoa districts from this December to March 2016.

Under the agreement, InVivo will provide technical assistance by sending experts to help local farmers with growing techniques while its Vietnamese partner will be responsible for the entire cultivation process from techniques, seedlings, fertilisers to pesticide. — VNS
