Comrade Nguyen Dac Vinh chaired the working session with Nghe An agricultural sector.

Recognizing the importance of the agricultural sector to the socio-economic development of the province, on June 14, 2016, the Provincial Party Standing Committee issued Directive No. 06 on accelerating the progress and improving the quality of new rural construction, period 2016-2020. On October 27, 2016, the Provincial Party Committee issued Conclusion No. 12 on the results of implementing the project to restructure the agricultural sector towards increasing added value and sustainable development, period 2013-2020.

And most recently, on December 6, 2016, the Provincial Party Standing Committee continued to issue Directive No. 07 on promoting the restructuring of the agricultural sector towards increasing added value and sustainable development, period 2016-2020.

Comrade Nguyen Dac Vinh assigned the agricultural sector to take the lead in restructuring agriculture with the goal of increasing added value and sustainable development.

The three contents that the Provincial Party Secretary directed the delegates to focus on discussing during the working session were: The situation of agricultural and rural development development, restructuring the agricultural sector and building new rural areas. From there, the agricultural sector will absorb, synthesize and develop a detailed sector restructuring plan for each year and the whole period as a basis for implementation.

Leaders of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development reported on the situation of agricultural and rural development and some solutions in the coming time.

At the meeting, delegates raised a number of concerns in restructuring and rapidly developing the agriculture and rural development sector. For example, Nghe An has not yet clearly identified key products to facilitate agricultural development and increase income; the form of production organization as well as land accumulation still has many limitations, not keeping up with the development trend in large-scale commodity production.

The efficiency of applying science and technology is not high. Many scientific topics have been applied to production but are not effective. The construction and management of quality as well as product brands and trademarks still have many shortcomings and do not meet practical requirements. The construction of new rural areas has not focused on improving people's lives but is still heavy on infrastructure development.

Concluding the working session, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Dac Vinh stated: Agricultural restructuring needs to clearly define the goal of increasing added value and sustainable development. The agricultural sector must clearly identify to advise the province on the issue of focusing on developing seedlings and key products to impact and promote economic development. Pay attention to developing chain production, and at the same time, based on the results of market information research to build production planning, ensuring safety for economic development and people.

Regarding the issue of land accumulation, in addition to solutions to "attract" labor from agricultural production, the Provincial Party Secretary emphasized the need for reasonable policy mechanisms to create consensus among the people when reclaiming land. To attract businesses to agriculture, it is necessary to meet the needs of businesses and create a favorable investment environment. Particularly in the construction of new rural areas, special attention should be paid to the issue of economic development, improving income and people's lives./.
