Ho Chi Minh City will adjust its agricultural production in the coming time with an increased proportion of fisheries, animal husbandry and services to create jobs and increase income for the people.

The focus will be on growing more vegetables and hybrid maize.

Mr Truong Hoang, deputy chief of the board for agriculture and rural development of the city, said the focus will be on farm economy and on creating preferential treatment for businesses to lease land for production and enabling people to work on their land.

In addition, the city will also start equitisation of agricultural businesses.

The city will also build models of co-operatives in villages of Binh Chanh, Hoc Mon and Cu Chi.
The city has approved a project to train 100 engineers and 200 technicians, assigning the agricultural university to complete the project.
