Mekong River agriculture project yields just 60 tonnes of vegetables
A $20 million food production project in the Mekong River provinces is yielding just 60 tonnes of vegetables a day out of its 160-tonne daily goal, a Ministry of Agriculture official said.
The ministry’s Boosting Food Production programme – a three-year initiative launched in mid-2016 to support crop production along the Mekong River – which had set a goal of supplying the local market with 160 tonnes of vegetables per day following quality and safety standards, will come to an end by the close of next year.
