An Giang (VNA)ಌ - The Mekong Delta province of An Giang aims to develop specific agricultural products in different areas to promote local agricultural brands.
Under an action plan on agricultural development for the 2016-2020 period with a vision through 2030, the province will focus on applying technologies and connecting agricultural production with environmental protection to ensure sustainable development.
