Nguyen Thanh Cong, Deputy Chairman of the Son La provincial People’s Committee, said, “In the context of renewal and economic integration, farmers must control their own means of production and know how to fully tap those means. A class of peasants is needed who can master technology. Son La has piloted an e-trading floor at nongsansonla.vn where the people of Son La can sell their products.”
