Speaking at the program, Do Phuoc Dung, Vice Chairman of the Dong Nai City Farmers’ Association, said that the preferential loans are intended to provide farming households with additional resources to invest in expanding production and developing their economies, thereby contributing to agricultural restructuring, increasing income, and improving the living standards of local farmers.
In addition, the program encourages members to strive for greater prosperity, actively participate in local association activities, and contribute to farmers’ emulation movements aimed at building advanced and model new-style rural areas with positive results.
