authorities will keep coordinating with relevant sectors and agencies to carry
out concerted measures, he noted.
Focus will be placed on developing concentrated
farming in connection with the processing industry and the market; stepping up

advances, especially cutting-edge technology and solutions; increasing
investment attraction to agriculture and rural development; and implementing
policies to help grant production and packaging unit codes, according to the
