The Central Highlands province of Kon Tum has achieved significant progress in its agro-forestry cooperation programs with localities in Laos and Cambodia. According to the Kon Tum Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the province has seen notable improvements in forest management, protection, and agricultural technology transfer along the Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia border.

At the end of 2023, Kon Tum signed a memorandum of understanding on forest management and protection with the agro-forestry departments of Laos' Attapeu and Sekong provinces. Since the beginning of this year, 61 patrols and operations have been conducted along the border communes of Kon Tum's Ngoc Hoi and Dak Glei districts, adjacent to Laos. These efforts involved 458 personnel and resulted in addressing one case of forestry law violation.

The Kon Tum agricultural extension center is currently assisting households in Salavan province’s Laongam district, Laos, to cultivate high-yield Robusta coffee and providing agricultural production support in Sekong province's Dakcheung district. Moving forward, the center will continue to monitor and coordinate remote advisory exchanges with partners in Salavan, Sekong, Attapeu, and Cambodia's Stung Treng province to sustain relevant agricultural cooperation development programs.
