According to Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ca Mau Province Le Van Su, in the coming time, the province will continue to promote trade, promote products associated with building chain linkages between parties in the production organisation process, considering this a key factor to improve competitiveness, stabilise and develop the market, increase the value of goods and income for farmers.

In addition, it is necessary to build service business models and rice production according to the criteria of 1 million hectares, promote digital transformation in agriculture, especially in traceability and improve the quality of cooperatives to help farmers link with businesses with stable output.
