Vietnam is calling on Japanese investors to expand their investments into the agricultural sector, according to releases from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) at the meeting on December 8 in Tokyo.
 
In the conference held by Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), the ASEAN-Vietnam Center and the Vietnamese Embassy in Japan, Vietnamese officials said the government has always attached great importance to drawing foreign direct investment for agricultural and rural development by adopting a series of incentive investment policies for foreign investors in the field.
 
Vietnam’s side promises to create favorable conditions for investors aside with other conditions such as stable socio-political environment, convenient trade and transport and an abundant labor force.
 
Japan and Vietnam can boost the bilateral cooperation in the area, including improving trade promotion activities, speeding up modernization and centralization of agricultural production in Vietnam, improving the food safety and hygienic management capacity and developing new products and accelerating marketing campaigns.
