Meanwhile, Khuat Van Quyen, First Secretary of the Vietnamese Embassy in Israel, affirmed that the 11-month training course gave the students an insight into the modern agriculture of Israel.

He expressed his hope that the Vietnamese graduates, will use their knowledge acquired in Israel con contribute to agriculture development in their homeland.

Professor Yiftach, director of the Katif Research Center under the Sedot Negev Agriculture Center, told Vietnam News Agency that many Israeli farm owners want to recruit Vietnamese students due to their industriousness and creativeness.

During their stay in Israel, the students also have opportunities to practice English, and receive a minimum stipend of USD 1,000 per month excluding tax and accommodation fees.

Currently, there are four Israeli centers offering training for Vietnamese students, including AICAT Arava, Ramat Negev, Sdot Negev and Agrostudies.
