Up to now, many national programs supporting sustainable development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas have brought about practical results, contributing significantly to the development of large-scale commodity agriculture as well as the implementation of the local sustainable socio-economic development program. The role of promoting the application of scientific and technological advances in production and life, serving socio-economic development and sustainable poverty reduction is increasingly important.

Although the funding source for building and replicating models and projects on science and technology is still limited, up to now, Nghe An has built many models, topics and projects on science and technology in mountainous areas quite effectively; there have been many models of applying and transferring science and technology suitable to the actual conditions and development level of each region and locality.

Speaking at the meeting, in addition to acknowledging the achieved results, comrade Nguyen Nhu Khoi also pointed out some remaining problems such as limited replication of the model; unclear planning for agricultural economic development in mountainous areas... Concentrated raw material areas in mountainous areas are being reduced quite sharply; weak linkages in production and consumption of agricultural products...

Programs need to be based on development strategies and linked to the leadership role of local authorities, otherwise "when officials return to Vinh, the projects will follow."

In selecting and implementing the model, it is necessary to persistently follow the initial orientation in a reasonable manner, choose concentrated products, not spread out based on the advantages of each locality./.
