The event is considered the most unique to ever be held in the city. In addition to displaying agricultural machinery, demonstration models in the field, generating recognition for farmers and cooperatives, the event needs to be organized on a large scale, closely, and effectively.
“Along with foreign machines, farmers' self-invented and modified machines should also be displayed at the exhibition. Because in practice, the fields in the Mekong Delta will be different from the fields of some countries”, Mr. He commented.
