Speaking at the conference, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan emphasized: The Central Highlands is a large area, the value space of the Central Highlands is very large, not only limited to red basalt soil, industrial crops... Therefore, localities and enterprises need to rethink to develop widely throughout the Central Highlands, not just within the framework of a locality; need to exploit in the direction of multi-value, agricultural ecosystem. On the other hand, enterprises are not only investors but also consultants for localities to open up new value spaces for agriculture in the Central Highlands; together with localities to solve the livelihood problem for ethnic minorities. However, the Central Highlands currently has problems with land, so localities need to sit down with investors to clarify responsibilities, and work together to solve them; any problem beyond the scope of the locality should be submitted to ministries and branches for consideration and resolution...
