Highlighting the effective use of agricultural and forestry land, Phúc asked relevant agencies to complete a report and draft resolution to submit to the Politburo with solutions to remove difficulties in order to develop the sector more effectively and improve people's lives.
The PM noted initial results of the reorganisation of agro-forestry companies and praised some profitable models.

He urged companies that had been restructured to continue searching for investment, and promote the early formation of agro-forestry production areas, large-scale concentrated co妹妹odity production, intensive farming, and the application of technology.
