On the afternoon of October 14, the National Agricultural Extension Center signed a partnership with Bayer Vietnam Co., Ltd. to expand sustainable farming models and promote efficient and safe rice, durian, and coffee cultivation, aiming to improve productivity and product quality in Vietnam by 2025.

Attending the signing ceremony were Le Quoc Thanh, Director of the National Agricultural Extension Center, and Kedelesara Govinda Rao Krishnamurthy, Head of Crop Science Division at Bayer Vietnam Co., Ltd.

The collaboration program aims to enhance agricultural productivity and introduce innovations in farming practices through model farms in key growing regions. It will implement an integrated plant health management program, integrated pest management, and promote the application of good agricultural practices for rice, durian, and coffee farmers, contributing to sustainable agriculture development.

Both parties will also focus on contributing to the effective implementation of the 1 million hectares of high-quality, low-emission rice project. This includes improving rice productivity and management in the Mekong Delta provinces by building high-quality, low-emission rice production models, as well as applying integrated pest management to ensure the efficient, safe, and sustainable cultivation of durian and coffee.
