HCMC
– The experimental hi-tech dairy farm whose development is partially covered by
Israel’s financial and technical assistance will start operation this December,
Israeli ambassador Amnon Efrat said when he met HCMC vice chairman Le Minh Tri
on Wednesday.
Efrat said he was satisfied with the progress
as 10 of 13 bidding packages of the project had been completed. Located in Pham
Van Hai Ward in Binh Chanh District, the 9.8-hectare farm is developed at a
total cost of US$6.3 million in which the Israel’s ODA loan is more than US$1
million.
According to the ambassador, Israeli advanced
technology will help increase the yearly output to 7,000-8,000 liters per milk
cow. “We hope this dairy farm will be not only an experimental hi-tech facility
but also a good training center,” said Efrat.
According to the HCMC Department of
Agriculture and Rural Development, the hi-tech dairy farm will choose firstly
100 milk cows from farming households, then completing the project with 80 more
ones.
“Because the total cost of imported Israeli
cows is too high, the two sides had agreed to use local cows that have been
chosen from best varieties,” explained Nguyen Phuoc Trung, deputy director of
the city’s agriculture department.
