According to voter Binh, the Project of 1 million hectares of high-quality and low-emission rice cultivation associated with green growth in the Mekong Delta by 2030 is very correct and on target. The Project clearly states that 100% of the area must be linked in production between enterprises, cooperatives and farmers, in which enterprises play a key role in the consumption stage, but up to now, enterprises have not been able to access long-term loans in the Project.

Mr. Cao Van Tuan - a voter of Tan Loc ward, Thot Not district, expressed his opinion that the section of National Highway 80 along Cai San river in Thoi Thuan ward, Thot Not district, had serious landslides and subsidence, eating deep into the asphalt concrete layer, affecting traffic safety and people's lives.
