For example, the department has consulted the committee to cooperate with the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Hanoi-based Vietnam National University in the field.

The department has completed 13 research projects from 2015 to 2017 and signed 15 new research contracts in 2017 alone. It will conduct 10 new research projects in 2018. The department has also organised a policy dialogue supporting businesses with science-technology development. It has worked with the Department of Intellectual Property to complete a collective brand name dossier for Tan Lac red-flesh grapefruits, Da river fish and shrimp products, and geographic indication certification for Cam Phong oranges. This will help localities to promote their products. Furthermore, the department has coordinated with relevant departments to realise the project implementing the national programme "One Commune, One Product” in the 2017-2020 period, with a vision to 2030./.
