Themed “Vietnamese farmers: solidarity-innovation-integration-development”, this year’s festival will give participating farmers a chance to exchange experiences with each other and meet with agricultural enterprises.
The competition included five parts in which the participants will introduce themselves, give solutions to issues, join contests to find out the best produce or livestock, and perform their initiatives and talents.
The festival takes place in almost all cities and provinces nationwide and is divided into four regions. The semi-final and final rounds are scheduled to be held in the capital city of Hanoi this October.
