PM directs Hai Duong to attract investment in agriculture
Northern province recognized for work in new rural area development.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has instructed authorities in northern Hai Duong province to promote public-private cooperation, improve the business and investment environment, and streamline administrative procedures to attract investment in agriculture and rural areas.
Speaking at a ceremony on March 15 to recognize the province fulfilling the new rural development task, the Prime Minister asked Hai Duong to develop synchronous socio-economic infrastructure and change its “agricultural production mindset” to an “agricultural economic mindset” and shift from “seeking markets” to “studying markets” in order to move towards “order-based agriculture”.
The province received guidance on continuing to restructure its agriculture sector towards clean, organic, and high-tech production, build concentrated material zones, and develop education, healthcare, and culture as well as the processing industry and supporting services.
Hai Duong has 178 new-style rural communes, with 43 meeting advanced new rural area standards and others meeting exemplary standards.
