Vietnam's agricultural experts have conducted a training course on rice
cultivation for Cuban farmers in Pinar del Rio province.

Director of the provincial Rice Experimental Centre, Alexander Miranda
said Vietnamese experts will provide Cuban farmers with advanced rice
cultivation, watering and caring technologies along with techniques to
improve productivity and yielding.

Vietnam will also transfer technologies for the centre.

The training courses are under the framework of a four year cooperative
programme between Vietnam and Cuba to help the Caribbean country to
produce rice.

Vietnamese experts are currently in seven provinces of Cuba to help the
country self-produce rice to serve domestic demand.
