In order to realise its goal of becoming the high-tech agriculture hub of the Central Highlands together with Central Vietnam, the province has identified three strategic priorities: finalising planning, developing concentrated production areas and high-tech agricultural zones; further streamlining administrative reform under the "four reductions" principle, reducing procedures, processing time, costs combined with paperwork, thereby creating a more favourable investment environment; and effectively implementing preferential policies while accompanying enterprises throughout their investment and development process.
