Director Nguyen Nhu Cuong of the Crop Production Department in Vietnam stressed that a partnership for large-scale farming and produce processing greatly contributes to stabilizing the output for farmers. His Ministry has introduced the project ‘Developing Key Fruit Trees in the 2025-2030 Period’ to give better directions for local authorities, farmers, and businesses in the field to follow.
