Speaking at the workshop, Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee - Mr. Tran Viet Truong said that accessing credit sources to develop key agricultural products in the Mekong Delta is currently facing many difficulties such as: risks - natural disasters - climate change.

This will contribute to restructuring the region's agricultural sector in depth, bringing the Mekong Delta to rapid and sustainable development.
