Vietnamese farmers to improve skills overseas
The People's Committee of the central province Quang Ngai is planning a project to send farmers abroad to participate in study tours and training courses from 2015-2020.
Under the VND8 billion (US$377,040) project, the province will send 120 to 150 farmers and managers of farms and agricultural cooperatives to Thailand, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and China for study, according to Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Pham Truong Tho.
They will learn from foreign experience in building new-style rural areas, developing models of economic cooperation in agriculture, managing large-scale farms management, as well as preserving and processing products.
They will also study how to build brands for agricultural products and apply advanced technology in production to increase added values.
After the study tours, the trainees will become a major force that actively contributes to the new-style rural area building movement in the locality, Tho said.
Quang Ngai province has more than 286,200 households living on farming, aquaculture, handicrafts and agricultural services, accounting for 46% of the total population.
