He also emphasized the need to apply advanced technology in farming and described it as the best way to ensure sustainability in agriculture and in being more conducive for farmers to increase their income.
He urged Bac Lieu province not to develop industry at any cost, saying that industry would only deprive the province of much needed labor, land and human resources.
He suggested that the province should take advantage of training units in the province to provide skilled human resources for cultivation and enterprises in the future.
The President stressed on social welfare for all local residents, particularly the implementation of Party and State policies for those who rendered their services to the nation. The province, he believed should consider this as a guideline policy and take responsibility of their society.
He also said that not only Bac Lieu Province but other localities too in the Mekong Delta must retain enough land for agricultural purposes, especially for rice cultivation, to ensure national food security.
