How can these high-tech agricultural production models be both agricultural products and tourism development in the area? - Chairman of the People's Committee of Cua Lo town emphasized. |
With a system of over 150 restaurants and hotels in the area, tourism is developing strongly, especially in the summer months, Cua Lo has great potential in developing high-tech agricultural products, meeting the needs of the market and tourists. However, in addition to seafood products, Cua Lo has not yet met the demand for fruit and vegetable products to serve tourism development. Meanwhile, the soil and climate conditions are very suitable for production.
“Currently, land use planning for production and urban development in the area has been stabilized, so it will not affect agricultural development in the future,” affirmed the Chairman of the People’s Committee of Cua Lo town. At the same time, he stated that the People’s Committee of the town will pay attention and create all conditions for wards and communes to develop and replicate effective economic models.

Along with that, build specific support mechanisms and policies for each effective model to replicate, not to invest in a scattered manner.

In addition, create conditions to support households in accessing and applying science, technology and technology transfer. Communes and wards review and set targets to mobilize households with potential resources in terms of production garden land area, labor force, and enthusiasm to invest in building and replicating the model; when there are products, they must pay attention to building brands, labels, and having OCOP products to meet market demand.
“Along with building and developing the model, it is especially important to be proactive in trade promotion, linking and connecting with supermarkets, stores, hotels, restaurants, and agencies to introduce and promote the consumption of output products for the models.”
