The two countries with the largest FDI inflows in agriculture are Japan and Korea. , but in the long run, the ministry want to attract more investors from other countries such as Europe and the US to diversify FDI. In order to do this, Vietnam should reform its tax exemption policies, apply modern machinery and technology and highly qualified workers in agricultural industry. Specifically, Mr. Nguyen Dang Quang, Chairman of Masan Group proposed linking to promote the agricultural production chain: “To increase the efficiency of the agricultural sector, the State should encourage and promulgate appropriate mechanisms to promote too In addition, the State needs to create a legal corridor to open up the market for agricultural products. The investment capital instead of limited to the financing of banking for individual business households as long.
Currently, the Ministry of Planning and Investment is coordinating with ministries and agencies to prepare a report on the 30-year review of foreign investment attraction, which is expected to report to the Government in October.
