Hanoi fair to showcase agricultural products

Hanoi (VNA) - A fair-cum-exhibition showcasing agricultural products will be held in Hanoi from Sept. 19-23, said the organiser - the Vietnam Farmers Association (VFA) - at a press briefing on Sept. 15.

Farmers and businesses both at home and abroad will display their off craft
items and tools used in the agricultural sector, as well as successful
farming models.

Seminars discussing ways to provide consultancy and services to support
agricultural production and improve farm produce quality will also take
place during the event.

Those who recorded outstanding achievements in the sector will be awarded on
the occasion.

Director of the VFA's Economics Department Nguyen Van Chinh said the annual
event aims to tighten the linkage among the State, scientists, farmers and
businesses to promote sustainable agricultural and rural development.

The fair-cum-exhibition is also seen as a chance for farmers to get access
to consultancy, loans, technical service, vocational training and product
sales.

A similar event was organised in the central region last July, while another
will be held in Ho Chi Minh City next month.-Enditem
