The Lao Agri-Food Expo 2024 kicked off on Monday, showcasing sustainable agricultural practices and modern technologies aimed at boosting agricultural production in Laos and increasing exports.
The event, running from Monday to Friday, includes networking sessions designed to foster closer relationships between investors, agribusinesses, and the Lao government, according to a report from the Lao Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry on Tuesday.
Speaking at the event, Lao Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Linkham Douangsavanh emphasized the expo's role as a significant opportunity to advance agricultural production in Laos.
Linkham said the ministry aims to strengthen agricultural production in order to minimize imports and preserve foreign currency reserves, and foster market-oriented agricultural production and processing capabilities to develop value-added export products that will strengthen foreign currency earnings.
The ministry continues to support Lao farmers to embrace cutting-edge techniques and technologies, while fostering the development of high-quality plant and animal breeds that can compete in international markets.
Linkham added that the expo is a testament to Laos' remarkable advancement and unwavering commitment to sustainable growth.
