President Rivlin Visits Israeli Model Cow Dairy in Vietnam


(Ynet News) Israeli President Reuven Rivlin visited Ho Chi Minh City on Thursday as part of his state visit to Vietnam. The president and his wife, Nechama, toured a model cow dairy established in 2013 by MASHAV (the international development program of the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs). The dairy acts as a center of excellence for the local area, and the staff regularly travel to other dairies to help farmers utilize Israeli methods. Addressing a Vietnam-Israeli economic conference, Rivlin said, "When the State of Israel was very young, we, the Israelis, called ourselves Sabras. Sabra is the fruit from the cactus plant and only grows in the desert. Like the sabra, we managed to provide water and food to make us flourish even when we didn't have enough water. We did it by becoming experts in making the most out of every drop."
