New Zealand Ambassador to Vietnam Haike Manning emphasized the New Zealand Aid Programme has supported the Vietnam agricultural sector over the years.

The project is expected to make new breakthroughs in which both nations will cooperate in using New Zealand’s leading agricultural expertise to produce new fruits varieties, generating higher incomes for Vietnamese farmers.

It will also apply modernised technologies to create a new variety of dragon fruits, build modern production, and post-harvest models and improve sales and marketing skills to increase income for farmers and small and medium-sized enterprises.
