Changing the economic thinking of ornamental flowers
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Permanent Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Thanh Man highly appreciated Dong Thap province's initiative in organizing the Ornamental Flower Festival. This is a meaningful cultural, economic and tourism event; it is also an opportunity for Dong Thap to promote its tourism brand and attract investment, bringing the Dong Thap ornamental flower, agricultural and tourism brands to confidently supply and meet domestic demand and reach out to the region and the world.
Sa Dec Ornamental Flower Festival is an opportunity to promote the image of Sa Dec land.
Mr. Tran Thanh Man said that in the face of the challenges of climate change, market fluctuations, and changing consumer trends, the cultivation and supply of ornamental flowers to the market need to be flexibly adapted to not only create beautiful, unique, high-quality products but also contribute to creating a stable and developing ecosystem.
"We must change the mindset of "ornamental flower production" to the mindset of "ornamental flower economy", adding more values to improve people's lives... Therefore, we really need the efforts of Party committees at all levels, authorities, the Fatherland Front, and organizations in the province; the dynamism, creativity, overcoming difficulties and challenges, daring to think, daring to do, and sharp thinking of farmers", said the Standing Vice Chairman of the National Assembly.
