Viet Nam, Tanzania strengthen agricultural cooperation
Vietnamese enterprises that wish to invest in fertilizer production in Tanzania will be afforded investment incentives, according to Steven M. Wassira, Tanzanian Minister of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives.
In Viet Nam on a six-day visit, Wassira and Vietnamese Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat both stated their desire to strengthen agricultural cooperation at their talks on September 10.
Viet Nam pledged to support Tanzania’s agricultural development while the African country asked the Southeast Asian nation to increase technological transfers and investment in agricultural processing and cattle raising.
Minister Phat pointed to the possibility of bumping up cashew imports from Tanzania and rice exports to the African state.
Viet Nam and Tanzania established diplomatic ties in 1965. Two-way trade between the two countries reached 31 million USD in 2006. Viet Nam imported cotton, wood, garment material and leather from Tanzania while rice was the country’s main export staple to the African country.
During their stay in Viet Nam, the delegation will visit Dong Anh district in Ha Noi and several places in northern Vinh Phuc province to study several farm models and irrigation system.-(VNA)
