Speaking at the meeting, Assoc.Prof. Dr. Tran Duc Hoan expressed warm welcome to the Chinese delegation, and said that the University and GXAAS had cooperated in transferring grape and corn varieties in 2016 but the corn varieties had not developed as expected due to market demand. He hoped that GXAAS would cooperate in transferring biomass corn and new corn varieties; testing passion fruit varieties and continue to support the University in techniques and technology.
