The favourable transport system and
proximity to Hanoi capital will create vast opportunities for the
two sides to develop cooperation, said Hiroshi Chishima, a JETRO
representative, during his working session with Vice Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Truong Minh Hien on June 12.
He also highly valued the local investment environment and attraction
policies, noting that 40 Japanese firms are making investment in the
provincial industrial parks.
Local official said
Japanese firms could lease land of farmers or allow them to contribute
capital to realise agriculture investment projects, adding that the
province will support the infrastructure building such as roads,
electricity and irrigation system.
The locality has
zoned off an area of 1,100 ha to grow vegetable and fruits at riverside
regions which have favourable land, transport, irrigation, drainage and
flood-drought-proof systems, he said.
Developing
agriculture is defined as one of the key economic development tasks of
the province to increase farmers’ income and modernise rural areas, he
added, hoping that Japanese businesses will help the province to promote
the application of science and technology in the field.
From last July, the provincial An Phu Hung company and the Japanese
International H.B.C company jointly implemented successfully the model
growing organic vegetable according to Japanese technology to serve
domestic market and exports, he noted.
After the working session, Japanese businesses visited the organic vegetable and fruit growing model in Ly Nhan district./.
