HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc on Thursday asked the State Bank of Việt Nam (SBV) to increase the preferential credit package for hi-tech agricultural firms from VNĐ60 trillion (US$2.6 billion) to VNĐ100 trillion ($4.34 billion). The agriculture sector needs the involvement of private enterprises and co-operatives to solve the problems that it is facing. He wanted more attention paid to developing human resources geared towards hi-tech agriculture, and to expanding markets, popularising trademarks and improving packaging, thus ensuring stable consumption. The Government will create favourable conditions for enterprises and co-operatives to engage in hi-tech farming, Phúc said. On the 130ha model field, VinEco Hà Nam will develop nearly 15 kinds of key produce with a daily capacity of 20-30 tonnes for domestic and foreign consumption.
