The policy-related solution is aimed at attracting investment, speeding up the application of science-technology advances and developing human resources. Meanwhile, supportive solutions will prioritize the launch of four joint projects and eight industrial projects. Agricultural machinery clusters will be expanded in Hanoi, Hai Duong, Hai Phong, HCM City, Long An and Dong Nai.
