VIENTIANE (Xinhua): Laos and Thailand have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on developing the industrial cattle production chain, marking a significant step toward advancing the cattle production industry in both countries
The MoU aimed to modernize agricultural production by transforming cattle breeding into a systematic production chain aligned with international standards, Lao National Radio reported on Friday.
The collaboration aims to elevate cattle production to an industrial level, transforming it into a viable commodity that meets international export standards.
Under the agreement, high-quality cattle breeders and young cattle will be imported for fattening, while local farmers will be encouraged to cultivate fodder crops to support the supply chain.
