Lao ministry inspecting banana plantations to ensure sustainable agricultural practices
VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/ANN) – The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is inspecting banana plantations across Laos and directing operators to produce their crops in line with sustainable agricultural practices.
The number of investors and banana plantations around the country decreased after the government enforced a ban on granting land for new plantations and shut down companies that had violated regulations, the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Dr Lien Thikeo, said while responding to a question during the 7th Ordinary Session of the National Assembly’s legislature.
