In Mai Son district, the district leadership has focused on disseminating information and guiding farmers, cooperatives, and businesses to invest in and develop high-tech agricultural production; linking production and consumption of agricultural products along the value chain. During this linkage process, producers strictly adhere to cultivation and harvesting techniques, ensuring the quality and standards of processing plants. Businesses fully comply with the terms of the signed agreements to purchase products at the announced prices. Relevant agencies strengthen state management, ensuring a close link between farmers, the government, and businesses.
