Applying new techniques
Director of Ha Noi Agriculture and Rural Development Department Chu Phu My said that in 2019, the city targets to develop the agricultural sector by 2.5-3% and apply high-tech in 35% of agricultural production output.
To fulfill the aforesaid goals, the Department will focus on large-scale production in line with advantages and market signals. Agricultural products will be preserved and manufactured in value chains. Scattered breeding will be transformed into farm and industrial breeding and high-tech farming application. High-tech farming will also be encouraged in aquatic cultivation.
The city will build new safe agro-forestry-fishery supply chains and pilot a software system to manage, identify and trace sources of fresh food. In addition, the city will attach importance to market forecasts./.
