Small agri production must endVietnam’s agriculture sector needs to end the practice of small-scale production and reorganize it on a larger scale towards high-tech agriculture, the “Reorganizing Agricultural Production” seminar, held prior to the second Vietnam Private Sector Forum (VPSF) at the end of this month, heard. “Agricultural production in Vietnam is still very fragmented,” he said. “For businesses like us, if we want to have 100 ha of land for agricultural production, we must sign deals with 1,000 households, which creates obstacles in the production process.”What businesses need is support in administrative procedures on land, taxes, and technology. There should also be a clear set of criteria in each agricultural sector and appropriate mechanisms and policies for each field. “The policy mechanism for application is also incorrect.” Reorganizing agricultural production and developing a set of criteria for high-tech agriculture development is important, he emphasized.
