The province will give priority to attracting high-qualified labor force as well as popularizing the biotechnological application in production.  

In the period of 2011-15, it intends to set up main biotechnology laboratories, arboretums, and bio-technological enterprises.

Moreover, An Giang will vigorously promote the research and development of high technologies to provide new high-yield and high-quality varieties, environmentally friendly technologies and products, bio-fuels (bio-gas, bio-petroleum, bio-diesel) to ensure a clean production and energy security as well.
