Asian Development Bank to supports agriculture programmes in Laos


VIENTIANE (Xinhua): Farmers in southern Laos' Khammuan province will get funding from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to plow into crop cultivation, with the support scheme targeting 13 farming groups in three districts of the province.

Farmers' groups will use the money to buy machinery and vehicles to streamline the rice cultivation and production process, with their groups expected to make good use of and benefit from the additional working capital at their disposal, according to a report from the local Pasaxon newspaper on Thursday.
