(VOVworld)-The northern province of Ninh Binh has hosted a forum to discuss investment opportunities in the Red River Delta. The region is home to the 2nd economic area of the country and generates 18% of national rice output. Speaking at the event on Thursday, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Vu Van Tam, said that the forum is a good opportunity for state agencies and investors to explore regional potential and incentives in agricultural investment: “Investment in regional agriculture must promote the application of best practices in post harvest technology to ensure high yield and increasing added value. This could be achieved through improvement in infrastructure and public private partnership as well as vocational training and handicraft protection tourism for farmers.”
