Farmers kickstart production in Lunar New Year

The event welcomed farmers down to the rice paddy fields for the first time this year. It also featured many farming competitions such as traditional plowing and planting. This was also an opportunity for local authorities to introduce modern farming methods to the local community. Experts showed local farmers the benefits of mechanising farming procedures. The Northern Region's farming sector could expect to save as much as 88.5 million USD if machinery is utilised.
