Head of the Central Institute of Economic Management, Dr Tran Thi Hong Minh, told a workshop in Hanoi on Wednesday that regional connectivity and outlets promotion will boost economic growth in all sectors.          

"Collectives should foster links between trade and production with other sectoral clusters at home and abroad. Regular connectivity between policy makers, businesses, scientists and collective alliances is required to address challenges," she said.

Delegates from Vietnam Cooperative Alliance, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and Ministry of Industry and Trade, and experts expected economic links would strengthen isolated farming households and gather them into clusters to facilitate technological application and mechanization.
