Việt Nam News spoke to Dr. Albert T.Lieberg, Representative of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in Việt Nam about prevention and response plans. Up to now the Government and all stakeholders have succeeded in limiting, geographically speaking, the outbreak to the northern part of Việt Nam. What are FAO’s recommendations to enhance the ASF response capacities of Việt Nam and prevent its further spread? In addition, you have roughly another 1,700 commercial units or bigger farms in Việt Nam. FAO will do its best to support the Government and the people of Việt Nam – in particular assisting the affected rural households.
