VOV.VN - Vietnam’s livestock industry is asserting its place on the global map, yet still faces major challenges related to production costs, technology adoption, and disease outbreaks, said Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Phung Duc Tien.

Vietnam’s agriculture scene has gone from scraping by to raking in over US$60 billion in exports, turning rice paddies and coffee fields into a cash cow that’s fueling the nation’s economic rise.

VOV.VN - Vietnam’s rising role on the international stage was reaffirmed by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s visit to Brazil on July 6-7 to attend the expanded BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, where Vietnam participated as a partner country.
