Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Nhu Cuong, Director of the Department of Crop Production, acknowledged and highly appreciated the signing of the cooperation agreement between the Nam Ngu brand of Masan Consumer and the People's Committee of Ly Son district, Quang Ngai province. He said that this is an important step to enhance the value of Ly Son garlic specialties, creating a premise to maintain and sustainably develop the long-standing garlic growing industry in the island district, while opening up opportunities to strongly promote agricultural products to the world.
Mr. Cuong emphasized: “Ly Son garlic plays a key economic role for the people and local government. However, garlic cultivation by the islanders faces many difficulties due to weather conditions, pests, as well as fluctuations in the consumer market. Therefore, linking production and consumption in a chain, and processing branded products together is essential to increase the value of garlic, increase income and develop a sustainable agricultural economy in Ly Son island district.”
