ĐỒNG NAI The southern province of Đồng Nai is giving the green light to foreign and domestic businesses to develop 52 agricultural production chain projects.

The projects will receive financial support of more than VNĐ558 billion (US$24.2 million), VNĐ79 billions of which will be from State budget.

They will concentrate on national-and provincial-level products and local specialties, meeting market demand and adapting to climate change.

Besides 46 production chains in cultivation, there will be five in animal husbandry and one in aquaculture.
