Gia Lai is seeking ways to convert dead or poorly performing rubber areas to high-tech agriculture and agroforestry, VietnamPlus reported on 12 October. A provincial Finance Department notice dated 9 October prioritises viable projects suited to local land and with identified markets. Investors are asked to demonstrate capital capacity, experience and implementation commitments. The announcement concerns attracting proposals; it does not establish that all land has been converted or the proposed projects are operating.
