Proposal to prioritize scholarships for training new CEOs transitioning from household businesses
The Ministry of Finance is seeking opinions on the draft Circular guiding the Training and Fostering Program for 10,000 CEOs to 2030. The Vietnam Young Entrepreneurs Association proposed to clarify the beneficiaries of scholarship support, prioritizing the heads of businesses newly converted from business households.
The Vietnam Young Entrepreneurs Association also proposed to improve the support mechanism in the direction of taking the actual needs of businesses as the center, increasing the role of associations and business associations, and adding tools to self-check participation conditions and assess CEO capacity to classify students into suitable courses.
The Ministry of Finance said that the draft has been developed in the direction of simplifying procedures, digitizing processes and supporting business needs. Some comments will be studied and accepted, while affirming that priority groups and tools for assessing student capacity have been regulated and implemented according to Decision 525/QD-TTg.

Returning to the Mekong Delta, enjoying "centennial" mangosteen
In Can Tho City, many families still preserve mangosteen trees over 100 years old. Although almost no fertilizers or pesticides are needed, the ancient trees still grow well, giving a yield of 300-500kg of fruit each season with characteristic delicious quality.
According to gardeners, mangosteen is a "difficult" tree, flowering and fruiting completely depend on natural conditions, and cannot be processed to bear fruit as desired. In return, the tree has very few pests and diseases, and almost no pesticides, so it is considered a clean fruit that retains its natural flavor.
Although the quality is highly appreciated by the market, the economic efficiency of mangosteen is not stable due to strong price fluctuations, prolonged construction time and high harvest costs. Therefore, many farmers are no longer interested in replanting, while long-standing mangosteen gardens are mainly preserved as part of the heritage of the Mekong Delta gardening profession.
