It will feature building new-style rural areas and how it has helped the provinces of the Cửu Long (Mekong) River Delta region improve the lives of local farmers.

Experienced businesspeople and farm owners in the region will be invited to participate in the programme. They will talk and share their lessons and problems to help farmers improve yields and product value by using advanced farming techniques.

“The programme Khoa Giáo Nông Nghiệp will feature southern traditional culture and lifestyles and tourist destinations in the region and Long An,” said theatre actress-singer Bích Thuỷ, who is also one of the event’s producers. “We hope our art will entertain and help local farmers improve their daily lives.”

Long An Province has been very successful in building national new-style rural areas, improving farmers’ incomes and creating the beautiful look of rural areas.

Local farmers living in districts such as Châu Thành, Cần Đước, Cần Giuộc, Đức Hòa, and the city of Tân An, are provided with quality infrastructure, irrigation, electricity, education and healthcare systems.

Long An has worked to develop eco-tourism and other activities while ensuring pandemic safety.

It has offered new policies that support local travel firms, such as rent reduction or lower value-added taxes on tourism activities.

The programme, Khoa Giáo Nông Nghiệp, will air twice a month on LA34 channel, starting in July. — VNS
