Need for forest economic development policy

To develop the country, we must first build a policy mechanism that is suitable for the country's advantages, including the forestry economy because this is an industry that concentrates a large labor force and poverty, spread across the border areas.

Labor Hero Thai Huong - Founder and Chairman of TH Group's Strategy Council spoke at the meeting.

Labor Hero Thai Huong - Founder, Chairman of the TH Group Strategy Council, shared the above opinion at the meeting with General Secretary, President To Lam with a delegation of outstanding businessmen from the Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and the Vietnam Private Entrepreneurs Association held on the afternoon of October 11, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Vietnam Entrepreneurs' Day (October 13, 2004 - October 13, 2024). Expressing her happiness at attending the meeting, Ms. Thai Huong said that the people in general and the business class in particular of our country have great internal strength, have heart, have vision, have enough courage, enough heart, enough talent to take on and shoulder the responsibility with the country; at the same time, she expressed the need to foster and nurture the dreams and ambitions of each individual into aspirations. Currently, the world is making great achievements in science and technology, management science, artificial intelligence (AI)... To take advantage of these achievements, "we need to have some decisions, appropriate policy mechanisms for each period, for each industry, to lead, encourage, and create leading birds in each field; to turn aspirations into reality, to create great strength for the nation". According to Ms. Thai Huong, first, it is necessary to build a policy mechanism suitable to the country's advantages, which is agriculture. In particular, it is necessary to emphasize the forest economy - an industry that concentrates a large labor force and poverty, spread in the border areas of the country. Second, it is necessary to have policies to attract the business class and businesses with enough heart, mind and strength into this field, to build a closed value chain; put farmers into a link in the value chain, lead farmers to sustainably eliminate hunger and reduce poverty, move towards getting rich, and change right on their own land; At the same time, building national product brands, meeting international standards for each product. “The general principle is that when developing the economy in any field, it is necessary to comply with the green economic model, knowledge economy, circular economy on the basis of sustainable development. It is necessary to interweave science and technology, management science to create high labor productivity, reasonable costs, international quality standards, changing production methods from fragmented, backward, small-scale to advanced, modern production methods”, Ms. Thai Huong proposed. Along with that, the Chairman of the TH Group Strategy Council said that, in addition to encouraging and guiding policies, it is also necessary to create fairness for domestic and foreign economic sectors, state-owned and private... “Most importantly, it is necessary to create a safe enough environment, including creating a legal corridor and appropriate, unified, non-overlapping regulations, creating the best conditions to support business development”, she said. Recalling the words of General Secretary and President To Lam at the 79th National Day Celebration (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2024) "Vietnam will enter a new era, an era of national growth", the Chairman of the TH Group Strategy Council shared that in addition to the economy, we need to pay attention to the "growth" in height, that is, the stature of Vietnamese people. Currently, the height of Vietnamese people is very low in the world rankings (ranked 15th from the bottom). In recent years, Vietnam has achieved many achievements in improving the nutritional status of its people, but many nutritional problems still exist, especially in preschool and school age children. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a School Nutrition Law to set standards for school meals, thereby protecting children and improving the stature and health of future generations. “Science has proven that about 86% of a person's maximum height is achieved under the age of 12, this is the stage that determines the maximum development of each person's stature, physical strength and intelligence. Therefore, the issue of caring for children's nutrition at this stage, especially school nutrition, is very urgent, including the completion of mechanisms and policies,” said Ms. Thai Huong.
