Chapter 7 Future Plan

Promoting the roles and missions of CTU for the MDR, CTU actively, constantly connects and
collaborates/cooperates with local communities towards a comprehensive development in the
region. Besides, CTU also promotes collaboration with hundreds of companies, domestically and
internationally in the MDR. CTU is an active member of many networks of institutes – universities,
agencies and organizations in Viet Nam and in the world.

Since the end of 1970s up to now, CTU has always shown the pioneering role and connecting
collaboration to the human resources, agriculture and socio-economic development of the region.
Notably, CTU is an important factor that connects & collaborates with local communities to develop
short-term high-yielding rice varieties, improve acid soil, and develop high production rice varieties
and aquatic products. Additionally, CTU has also contributed in diversifying and industrialization of
agricultural – aquacultural production towards enhancing efficiency of natural resources used, and
farmer incomes, contributing to increase export turnover, elevating the position of these industries in
the world’s market.

Communist Party and Government, CTU with its resources and position, needs to connect and
collaborate with relevant partners, domestically and internationally in order to carry out social
responsibility as committed, to contribute for a sustainable development of the MDR and the whole
