                              PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc speaking at the working session

Nguyen Xuan Phuc has urged the northern province of Thai Binh to speed up agricultural restructuring and strive for a production value of between 400-500 million VND (22,420 USD) per hectare by 2020.

During a working session with provincial leaders on August 8, the PM pointed out that the province’s agriculture sector has faced poor organisation of its retail system, together with ineffective business investments to the sector.

He suggested that Thai Binh encourage the stronger engagement of businesses in agriculture, while streamlining the administrative system to make the local government more transparent and friendly to locals and enterprises.

At the same time, Thai Binh should speed up the transformation of its production structure, associating agriculture growth with climate change response, while effectively exploiting its advantages in coal and gas resources, and calling for the contributions of large firms to the locality’s growth, he said.

He also asked Thai Binh to speed up the application of advanced technology in production...

He lauded Thai Binh for a good performance in implementing the new-style rural building program, adding that if the province fulfills its targets of having 267 communes meeting the program’s standards at the end of this year, Thai Binh will be the leading locality nationwide in the field.

Currently, 164 communes, or 62.4 percent of the province’s total communes, have been recognised as new-style rural area.

He also pledged to give timely support to the province to overcome the recent Typhoon Mirinae, which caused heavy losses to the production and growth of the province...

On the occasion, PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc witnessed the signing of a cooperative document between the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and the Thai Binh People’s Committee on supporting local businesses../.
