Vietnam encourages Japanese inflow into agro-forestry-fisheries

 Vietnam highly encourages Japanese investment inflow into agro-forestry-fisheries, President Truong Tan Sang told Governor of Japanese prefecture Wakayama, Yoshinobu Nisaka, during a reception in Hanoi on March 11.

He suggested the prefecture’s authorities communicate regularly with and support Vietnamese localities to increase the added value of agricultural produce.

Speaking highly of Wakayama ’s proposals on technological application, human resource development, produce trading and processing services, the leader expressed his belief that making more use of Japans expertise in such fields would be helpful to the Vietnamese farming sector.

Nisaka mentioned the prefecture’s strong track record in planting fruits and vegetables and farming tuna fish, pledging full support in linking Japanese firms with Vietnamese provinces, including allowing access to technology and value chain improvements in production, harvest and distribution.

He also highlighted trade and tourism promotion, human resource training and opening Japanese farm produce processing plants in Vietnam.
