Outstanding farmers launch agri startupsVietNamNet Bridge – Tran Trung Hieu, a farmer from An Giang Province’s Chau Thanh District, not only cares for his orange garden, but does so using an invention he designed and built on his own. A solar pesticide spraying machine produced by Tran Trung Hieu is widely used by farmers in the region. At present, his company produces nearly 20 tonnes of biological products to meet local demand and ship to other regions in Mekong Delta. VCCI Can Tho director Vo Hung Dung said the contest was intended to promote the startup movement and develop a startup ecosystem in the Mekong Delta region. He noted that startups were an urgent need in the Mekong Delta as the region is facing formidable challenges like stagnant economic growth and climate change.
