Havana, December 14 (RHC)-- The Cuba-Vietnam cooperation project for rice production, implemented since 2010 to date, has allowed increasing yields to up to 4.58 tons per hectare.

Lazaro Diaz, general director of Agribusiness Group for Grains of the Ministry of Agriculture (MINAG), while summarizing its fourth stage, said that in that period 56,000 hectares were planted in 12 provinces and the special municipality of Isle of Youth, which produced 257,108 tons of rice.

The fifth stage (2016-2020), will concentrate on the efficient use of water, among other issues. Le Quoc Doanh, deputy minister of agriculture of Vietnam, reported that as part of training tasks 18,000 people were trained in courses and workshops in Cuba.
