Vietnam's Central Highlands aims to become Southeast Asia's top vegetable production hub
The People`s Committee of Da Lat City, in Vietnam`s Central Highlands Lam Dong province, has announced a plan to boost hi-tech agriculture in 2016-2020.
According to the plan, Da Lat will develop its comprehensive and sustainable hi-tech agriculture with multi-sectoral approach to become the top vegetable production hub of the Southeast Asia and Vietnam's top agricultural tourist destination.
Specifically, Da Lat will see some 7,000 hectares, or 65-70 percent, of its agricultural land applied with high technology by 2020, bringing agricultural production value to 4.346 trillion Vietnamese dong (194.88 million U.S. dollars) a year.
