The central province of Quang Nam has collaborated with Minamiboso city of Japan’s Chi Ba prefecture in clean vegetable production and consumption across the province under the Japan techniques.

The three-year cooperation programme is part of a project to promote exchanges between Vietnamese and Japanese local non-governmental organisations.

Beginning in April 2010, the programme is intended to establish locally-produced clean vegetable establishments at the Binh An roadside station in Thang Binh district with the hope of raising local farmers’ incomes.

On Jan. 27, a delegation of experts from Minamiboso city provided consultation to the province in devising plans for farmers to cooperate in farm production, sales and transport as well as retail selling skills.

Under the programme, Japan will send its experts to Quang Nam province for technical assistance and receive Vietnamese trainees. The country will also provide refrigerators and cash registers to the province as well as the financial cost of building small farm shops.
