Businesses urged to invest in high-quality pepper project
Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Quoc Doanh has suggested key pepper growing provinces such as Dak Nong, Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Binh Phuoc and Dong Nai have more policies to encourage and create favourable conditions for businesses to invest in large-scale pepper production with high quality and efficiency.
The ministry will issue Production Unit Codes (PUCs) to areas that qualify to produce peppercorns for export, he said. He suggested building concentrated pepper material areas and providing technical assistance for farmers to ensure food safety and create brands.
