Referring to the need for smart organic fertilizers for the development of sustainable agriculture, the working group members focused on analyzing, providing many scientific evidences, clearly explaining the production process of smart organic fertilizers, and the economic and environmental benefits.

At the same time, through the survey and research process, experts and scientists found that Quang Tri province has many favorable conditions to implement the project such as having a large peat mine; having many areas of desertified agricultural land that can be utilized to improve and increase the cultivation area; having a large source of raw materials that are a source of waste to be utilized and processed to minimize the impact on the surrounding environment...

Experts and scientists from Hanoi National University and the Vietnam-Czech Technology Alliance proposed that the Provincial People's Committee allow exploration of peat mines and high-tech zones to continue surveying, researching, and planning project implementation in the coming time.

Participating in the discussion and contributing opinions at the working session, representatives of departments and branches requested representatives of the working delegation to focus on clarifying a number of contents related to the feasibility of the project in practice in provinces and cities where smart fertilizer production models have been implemented; difficulties and obstacles in infrastructure and waste treatment technology in the past; at the same time, providing information on a number of mechanisms and procedures related to the proposal to implement new investment projects in the province.
