That was a directive comment of Mr. Pham Hoang Son, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council at the online Conference summarizing the implementation of Resolution No. 26 dated August 5, 2008, by the 10th session of Party Central Committee related to agriculture, farmers and rural areas.

However, some limitations exist: Agricultural production is not sustainable; rural economic restructuring and farmers' lives in some places are still slow.
