Vietnam calls for Japan’s investment in agriculture
Vietnam will step up improving the investment climate and hopes to see Japanese firms increase investments in agriculture in the coming time, a Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development official said. General Director of the MARD’s Department of International Cooperation Tran Kim Long delivered the message at a forum in Hanoi on September 27, which was jointly organised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. According to Nguyen Do Anh Tuan, General Director of the Institute of Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development, Vietnam has issued many policies to promote investment in agricultural and rural development, including those relating to Japanese firms, and the country is building a draft decree on foreign investment attraction in the field. He said Japanese businesses can invest in manufacturing machineries, pesticide and fertilizers for agriculture, as well as related technologies and the processing industry.
