Dragon fruit cultivation in Long An province (Photo: VNA) HCM City (VNS/VNA) - Farming households in the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta need to apply high-tech practices to develop value-added agricultural products that can enter global value chains, Le Minh Hoan, deputy minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, has said.

BMW is playing a game of spot the difference with the lightly facelifted 2 Series. After showing the facelifted 1 Series from every possible angle , BMW is doing the same thing with the mildly updated 2 Series. In both cases, the changes are on a very subtle level, up to the point it’s hard to see what has changed. To be fair, the two-door 2 Series has only been around for roughly three years, so it’s not like the cars were starting to look dated or anything. While the 2 Series Active Tourer and Gran Tourer minivans are based on the front-wheel-drive UKL platform like the Minis, the coupe and cabriolet shown here employ a RWD setup. Needless to say, an xDrive layout can be had with some of the engines. Speaking of which, BMW will sell you a 2 Series with a three-, four-, or a six-cylinder mill. The gasoline units have been essentially carried over whereas the diesels now benefit from a new turbocharger and improved common-rail direct injection. Gearbox choices include the … [Read more...] about BMW Puts The Spotlight On 2 Series With 136 New Photos, 6 Videos
