Banking Magazine organizes a workshop on solutions to promote sustainable development of "Agriculture, Rural Areas"

Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Binh - Deputy Editor-in-Chief in charge of Banking Magazine, stated that in Vietnam, agriculture, farmers, and rural areas (Tam Nong) are of special importance to the stability and development of the socio -economy, are the pillars of the economy, and contribute to improving people's lives. This is a strategic issue that our Party and State have always identified as one of the top important tasks and have paid attention to issuing many major policies and guidelines throughout each period.

In line with the major policies of the Party and Government on agriculture , farmers and rural areas, in recent years, the banking sector has always identified “Agriculture, Rural Development” as one of the priority areas for credit investment. Therefore, there have been many policies and solutions to facilitate increased access to bank credit for this sector.

At the workshop, delegates pointed out other problems such as: Climate change is becoming more and more complex, greatly affecting agricultural production; agricultural and rural infrastructure is still weak, continuing to be a big challenge to the industrialization and modernization of agriculture and rural areas. In the development process, the agricultural sector still has many unsustainable factors, unstable growth; has not met the requirements of large-scale concentrated commodity production and high standards from the international market. On the other hand, most farmers produce on a small scale, fragmented basis, and lack linkages in production stages...

To support the implementation of credit policies for rural agricultural development, many delegates said that there needs to be synchronous solutions from all levels and sectors from the central to local levels, such as insurance policies in agriculture, land issues in agricultural production, building sustainable agricultural linkage chains;... In particular, it is necessary to consider expanding the insured subjects and supporting insurance premiums for farmers cultivating large areas in areas frequently affected by natural disasters and crop failures.
