Ground broken for first farmer support center in Mekong Delta

CAN THO – Lavifood Joint Stock Company today, April 26, organized a groundbreaking ceremony for the country’s first support center for farmers in the Mekong Delta province of Tra Vinh’s Cang Long District.

The Lavifarm center is expected to play a vital role in supporting farmers and giving advice on plants and crops to farming communities to meet the demands of the local market.

In addition, Lavifarm will offer technical and agricultural solutions to boost output and support farmers in preserving farm produce.

Further, the center will help farmers keep pace with the tech era and produce more value, raising the competitiveness of agricultural products. A series of brands of regional products will be built as well.

Covering a projected area of 17 hectares in Binh Phu Commune, the farmer support center is scheduled to feature four main areas: a supermarket, service area, packaging area and warehouse.

Apart from its farm, used for transplanting and propagating plants, the center will also have a vegetable packaging chain and dry and cold warehouses.

The center, which will be put into service in June next year, is an important part of a hi-tech agricultural value chain oriented toward logistics-based development for the fruit and vegetables sector.
