Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan said that it is necessary for the nation to shift from agricultural production to an agricultural economy.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has approved a target programme to restructure the agricultural economy, prevent natural disasters and stabilise people’s lives with total capital of VND306.66 trillion (US$13.5 billion).
Thirty years of industrialisation and modernisation and some remarkable
achievements notwithstanding, the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta has failed to
fulfil its agricultural potential, experts have said.
