Provincial Party Committee and People’s Committee discuss with Department of Agriculture and Rural Development on methods to implement Resolution No. 2

According to the report made by the Department, the agricultural sector actively transfers the plant and animal mechanism and takes precaution measures to deal with disease. The sector has also sped up the application of advanced measures such as crop rotation, multi-crop, technological and scientific advances. Therefore, it has fulfilled the target of the first half of this year. The production value of this sector is estimated to reach over 2,000 billion VND, 31% higher than that of the same period of last year.

Speaking at the working session, the sector admitted that its personnel was in short of and lacked of professional skills. As a result, the application of advanced science and technology into production was in a low level and did not meet the requirements of 8th Party Congress of provincial Party Committee. Mechanization of farm works was low. Particularly, it has not yet worked out any detail plans for long-term development. This has caused a lot of difficulties for farmers.

Speaking at the session, Deputy Standing Secretary of provincial Party Committee Le Hong Phuong urged the Department to quickly make out a detail plan for agricultural development aiming at improving farmers’ living standard and bridging the gaps between urban and rural area. In addition, the sector should coordinate with relevant agencies to build up a plan for training agricultural officers.
