Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc recently called for Vietnam’s agriculture sector to become one of the top 15 most developed in the world in just 10 years and utilize scientific and technological advances, says CropLife Vietnam.
总理进一步强调，需要更多创新来激发增长新动能，以确保宏观经济稳定。只有政府拥抱农业创新，才能实现如此雄心勃勃的议程。
释放现代农业支持可持续、包容性发展的可能性需要大量投资、协作以及稳定的政策和监管环境。在越南利用尖端技术加速发展的背景下，这三个因素都至关重要。
将数据科学等激动人心的新技术交到农民手中，还取决于允许他们继续使用近几十年来帮助养活数十亿人的工具。在越南和世界范围内，越来越多的人可以获得安全、优质的食品，因为农民可以继续使用多年来开发的技术。
To this day, crop protection tools such as pesticides play a critical role in producing more food using fewer resources. Without these tools, more than half of the world’s crops would be lost to insects, diseases and weeds, leading to enormous economic and environmental damage. To increase the competitiveness of Vietnamese farmers as well as to ensure the future investment in innovation, Vietnamese farmers should be encouraged to have access to safe crop protection products supported by high quality training and education. This will ensure that farmers continue to produce safe, affordable and nutritious food for the community and export.
在此背景下，我们呼吁政府确保根据国际公认的方法和标准，通过一致、科学严谨的流程对作物保护工具进行适当评估。此类评估需要由科学专家进行，并且应适用适当的时间表以进行彻底审查。这与总理最近设定的方向一致，当时他的阁下呼吁取消不必要的政府程序，这些程序可能会扼杀生产和贸易，同时加强透明度的必要性。
The industry takes its responsibility seriously and offers its commitment and support to help the Government achieve its food safety objectives. This includes continuing to research the development of alternative natural products, to promote the importance of the responsible use of crop protection products in Vietnam’s agricultural sector, as well as providing a scientific and international standards-based approach towards achieving the government’s objective of 30% reduction of product registrations by 2021 without sacrificing the sustainability and competitiveness of Vietnam agriculture. Also, it is important that proper police controls are reinforced to prevent illegal imports to Vietnam.
