As many as 519 memoranda of understanding and cooperation contracts
totalling over 150 billion VND (roughly 7 million USD) were signed
during the 2013 International Agriculture Fair, which wrapped up in the
Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on November 14.
According to organisers, the fair successfully acted as a bridge linking
the Government, scientists, farmers and businesses, thus enhancing
farmers’ insights into the integration period.
During the event, enterprises also clarified their business strategies,
expanded trade promotion and trademark communications, and introduced
their products.
Among the 5,000 products displayed
at the fair, there were 1,000 new categories of machinery, agricultural
equipment, fertilisers, pesticides and new and productive rice seeds as
well as new agro-forestry products.
The fair attracted nearly 110,000 visitors during the one week it was open.-VNA
