The Vinabeef Tam Dao livestock and beef processing complex project, requiring some 3 trillion VND (130.4 million USD) in total investment is in its first stage, launched at a ceremony in the northern province of Vinh Phuc on March 8.

More than 120 artworks and photos on livestock husbandry are on display at an exhibition held in both online and in-person forms by the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum and Li-chan Project.

Vietnam plans to produce and commercialise a vaccine against African swine fever in the third quarter of 2021, said Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Duc Tien during a press conference in Hanoi on January 14.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc urged Northwestern provinces to pay more heed to animal husbandry through specific development projects as the region boasts huge potential for this sector.
