HCM CITY — Farming households in the Cửu Long (Mekong) Delta need to apply high-tech practices to develop value-added agricultural products that can enter global value chains, Lê Minh Hoan, deputy minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, has said.
Hoan said it was vital to offer incentives and loans to farmers who use sustainable and climate-friendly production processes.
Millions of small-scale farming households, which are the most critically affected by climate change, need access to innovative technologies and practices as well as market information.
