Netizens questioned the screenshot

On June 14, teachers and students of Northwest A&F University in Yangling Demonstration Zone, Shaanxi, harvested wheat in the field. It is reported that 3391 freshman students from 22 majors of the school will all go to the city to participate. This time, the video of the students harvesting wheat in the field was also circulated on the Internet. The topic of the Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University organizing three thousand students to harvest wheat was also posted on Weibo.

Regarding the school organizing students to participate in the harvesting of wheat, most netizens agree with the school’s teaching methods and praise the combination of professional knowledge and practice. But at the same time, some netizens questioned the school’s suspicion of making a show, thinking that mechanical harvesting is now very convenient and manual harvesting is not necessary. In addition, in the video, some students did not use sickles to harvest wheat, but “uprooted”. Some netizens criticized them for not understanding agricultural knowledge.

On the morning of June 15, a reporter from Jimu News contacted the Propaganda Department of Northwest A&F University. A staff member responded that the wheat harvesting was carried out in the test field, so the machine could not be used. “Some netizens are not very familiar with the process of wheat breeding, so they have misunderstood. The uprooting of wheat is to observe the root system of wheat, and to measure the stalk height and ear quantity of wheat for scientific control experiments.” The staff member introduced.

A staff member of the Office of the School of Agriculture of the school said that the annual “three summer” wheat harvesting work is the school’s tradition, and the participants are all freshmen of the school. They are mainly responsible for harvesting, threshing, seed selection, etc. Related work.

Teacher Zhang, a freshman student counselor of the College of Agriculture, told JiMu News that their school students have “three trainings”, namely “work training, agricultural training and military training”. The “three summers” wheat harvesting work is one of the three trainings “agricultural training.” Content. Teacher Zhang also introduced that this year’s agricultural training lasts for more than ten days, starting on June 7 and ending on June 18. Each student takes turns to participate in half a day.

Zhang Zijun, a freshman who participated in agricultural training last week, told reporters that he was mainly responsible for threshing in this agricultural training course. He had also participated in similar social practice activities before. By participating in agricultural training courses, he could feel the importance of combining theory and practice. .

Jimu News reporter inquired and learned that the predecessor of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University was the National Northwest Agriculture and Forestry College established in 1934. It is the earliest higher agricultural and forestry education institution in the Northwest region, and it is also directly under the Ministry of Education and is the focus of the original “985 Project” and “211 Project”. Construction of colleges and universities, the first batch of national “world-class universities and first-class disciplines” construction colleges and universities.

The school has cultivated the world’s largest fine wheat variety “Bi Ma No. 1” with the largest cumulative promotion area, the distant hybrid wheat variety “Xiaoyan No. 6” that has long led the replacement of wheat varieties in my country, and my country’s independent cultivation and promotion area of ​​the largest fine wheat variety The direct economic benefits of popularization and transformation of important scientific and technological achievements such as the apple variety “Qin Guan” have exceeded 300 billion yuan.

Straw was piled up and burned by people, causing smoldering smoke to spread everywhere, spreading to the highway. Photo: Le Phu/ Newspaper As part of the series of events “Air pollution and our responsibilities”, the Science and Development Newspaper of Spark Magazine in collaboration with the Center for Living and Learning for the environment, the community (Live and Learn), the Internet. The Vietnam Clean Air Network (VCAP) organized an online seminar on the topic “Straw burning: Don’t waste gold and lessons from the community”. This is an opportunity for experts and businesses to share about applying local solutions to reuse straw, the challenges faced when completely ending burning straw in the field. Master Nguyen Thi Yen, Department of Agricultural Microbiology, Center for Organic Agriculture (Vietnam Agricultural Academy) said: In the winter-spring crop of 2021, there are at least 6 suburban districts of Hanoi (Soc Son, Dan Phuong) , Thanh Oai, Chuong My, Dong Anh, Ba Vi) with more than 1,000 hectares of fields applying straw treatment solutions to replace burning. Activities such as training the core group of farmers; deploying communication through online and group channels; technical guidance, practice handling solutions; Budget support for localities, cooperatives, farmers to access probiotics or collect straw has been implemented… Since then, many models and initiatives have been encouraged to be implemented such as: Association Women in Soc Son district process rice straw into organic fertilizer, Dan Phuong District Farmers’ Union distributes bio-products, Ba Vi district farmers collect straw and mill straw to make fodder for cattle… Ms. Truong Thi Thanh Nhan, Vice Chairwoman of the Women’s Union of Soc Son district, said that the collection of recycled straw into microbial fertilizer was implemented in Duc Hoa and Xuan Thu communes. In addition to propaganda to raise awareness for farmers, the District Women’s Union also helps households collect rice straw and compost 60 mounds (2 quintals of straw/mound), process it into micro-fertilizer, contributing to reducing reduce the burning of straw. Mr. Nguyen Tuong Hung, Director of Pho Hien Machine Co., Ltd. shared that the company is currently processing rice straw by using a straw roll machine in combination with a local plow to collect straw; technical support and consumption of the output straw. The advantage of the straw rolling machine is that it has a reasonable price, only about 5-10 million / machine. Harvest time is from 1-2 days after reaping and before plowing, yield from 1.5-3 ha/shift/hour. The straw roll has a diameter of 50cm, a width of 70cm, weighs from 12-14 kg, easy to carry, transport… At the seminar, the speakers and businesses answered some questions from readers related to the reuse of straw. The experts discussed and proposed some solutions using different technologies to continue using rice straw, increasing the value of straw in agriculture; can be applied from large scale for enterprises, cooperatives to small farmers. According to statistics from the Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment, it is estimated that each year, the city generates over 1 million tons of rice straw and agricultural by-products. In which, the amount of straw burned in the field is about 352,000 tons (accounting for 33.7%). The burning of rice straw produces CO gas – a very toxic gas that can be deadly, and at the same time causes smoke and dust affecting road and air traffic safety in the area. In addition, according to experts, the nutrient content in straw ash is very low, so it has no effect on soil improvement.

The combined model of cucumber production under the solar array of Mr. Chau Hon’s family brings a profit of 200,000 VND/day. Photo: Hong Diem Sustainable development model In 2018, the Green Innovation Development Center (GreenID) conducted research and put into practice a model combining agricultural production and solar power. According to GreenID, the model is designed according to the standards of rooftop solar power installed on construction sites, greenhouses planted under the guidance of Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) with a capacity of 45kwp installed on 400 square meter area. With a capital of over 900 million VND, the model will be completed and connected to the power grid in December 2020. To ensure plant efficiency, below the photovoltaic panels are designed at a distance of 1-2m. On average, the system produces 103kwh of electricity per day. In the first 3 months of 2021, 4,471kwh of electricity will be produced from this model (equivalent to 22 million VND). This is the first model with the participation of 3 parties (people, businesses and non-profit organizations). Accordingly, the enterprise will withdraw support capital in the first 10 years, then will hand over the entire system to GreenID and households participating in the model. After 20 years, the model will be handed over to households for management. The installation of solar panels above combined with growing vegetables and colors below not only creates additional income from selling electricity, but also makes the most of the arable land area, resolving conflicts in the use of resources. raw land. In fact, the crops grown underneath the electric panels have higher yields and better product quality. The model is expected to open up new directions for local agriculture. Truong Kien Tho, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of An Giang province, said that this is a model that brings dual benefits, when combining agricultural production with solar power, helping people have clean electricity. , develop local agricultural production, and bring stable income for farmers. Open up a new direction Realizing the economic benefits that the model brings, Mr. Chau Hon (40 years old), from An Hoa hamlet, Chau Lang commune, Tri Ton district, An Giang province boldly and the research team developed the model on the land of family. From the beginning of 2021 up to now, the research team has cooperated with the project team and Mr. Hon’s family to experiment with water spinach and cucumber plants to calculate the appropriate level of cover under the solar panels and compare. with growing plants outside. The results show that, grown according to the above model, both plants grow well and give higher yields than those grown outside. “The research results of the pilot model will be documented to share with stakeholders and promote the process of promulgating appropriate policies for the development of a combined model of agricultural production and solar power. God. We will survey and replicate the model in areas with suitable conditions in An Giang province,” said Mr. Truong Kien Tho. Mr. Chau Hon excitedly said: “Compared to growing outside, cucumbers are grown under shaded solar panels, with very few pests and diseases, the plants grow well, the fruit setting rate is high, the fruit is even and the fruit is uniform. beautiful, yield higher than growing cucumber outside about 30%. On average, every day, I sell about 30-40 kg for 6,000 VND/kg, I earn about 200,000 VND, much more leisurely than rice production. Ms. Pham Thi Nguyet, Vice Chairman of Chau Lang Commune People’s Committee said, Chau Lang is a mountainous commune with special difficulties with more than 62% of the population being Khmer, the poverty rate is still over 3.4%. People mainly depend on agricultural production. The development of agriculture in combination with solar power has initially helped farmers change their traditional farming practices and adapt to new farming techniques to create dual incomes on the same land area. This is a model that can help many farmers get out of poverty and become well-off. “However, the replication of the model faces many difficulties due to high investment costs, the arable land of many households in the commune is far from the national power transmission line, so at present, this model has only been implemented. experience with Mr. Chau Hon’s family. With the benefits that the model brings, hopefully in the near future, there will be policies to develop this model” – Ms. Nguyet pondered.

Representatives of the Cambodian government and a Japanese company are considering the feasibility of establishing an investment partnership mechanism to develop a cannabis production and export project. Accordingly, cannabis will be grown in Cambodia for export to the US and Japan. Cambodia is studying the possibility of growing cannabis for export to the US and Japan. Photo: Khmer Times. Yamato Green said cannabis is considered a medicinal herb in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. The Japanese company affirmed that many businesses are very interested in the potential of investing in this field in Cambodia. Seedlings will be brought from the US to the Southeast Asian country for large-scale production if licensed by the Cambodian government. Yamato Green also added, currently Thailand and Korea have also licensed the production, processing and export of cannabis to the US and Japan on the basis of technical and technology contracts. “We believe that agriculture and food processing are essential to revitalizing Cambodia’s economy and creating hope for society,” the Japanese company said. Yamato Green claims to create an agricultural system “of the future”, to help develop Cambodia’s agriculture with higher productivity, and to promote its products to the world.

Characteristics of the tree group that produces fruit at the tip of the branch Lychee belongs to the group of year-round green leafy trees, multi-use trees, both for fruit, shade and landscape. The trees in this group often have the phenomenon of fruiting every year, which means the year of fruiting, the year of no fruit, the year of little fruit, the year of many fruits. Longan and litchi are all fruit-bearing trees, …. That is, the branch from the fall of the previous year is the mother branch bearing fruit next year. If the branch is healthy and the cake is dull next spring, flowers will bloom on the top of the branch. If winter has budded spring leaves do not flower. Therefore, in order for the tree to produce many flowers next spring, it is necessary to prepare many branches from the previous autumn, the branches are old and strong. That depends first of all on the post-harvest care. Longan and litchi trees grow fruit after a year, after harvesting, the branches and leaves fall off, which is the period when the tree is most physically exhausted. From the research results of agricultural experts, after harvesting, the roots are the part that loses the most force, followed by leaves and branches. In order to produce normal fruit next year, folk care experience along with cutting branches, pruning the canopy must be “compensated” or “compensated” in the post-harvest period. The selection of fertilizers and fertilization techniques are very important in order to restore the health of the tree, ensure the recovery, growth and development after 5-6 months of fruiting to continue to produce fruit next season. After harvest, longan and litchi trees need to be cared for and “compensated” so that the next crop can still be productive. Photo: TL. Van Dien fertilizer – The perfect choice for longan and lychee Among the current fertilizers, in addition to organic fertilizers, only Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer and Van Dien NPK multi-element fertilizer products can meet the above demand for longan and litchi. Easily digestible nutrients in Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizers include: P2O5 15-19%, MgO 15-18%, SiO2 24-32%, CaO 28-34%, and many other micronutrients such as Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Bo, Mo…. Multi-factor fertilizer NPK Van Dien 5.10.3 has the content of nutrients such as: N=5%; P2O5=10%; K2O=3%; S=2%; MgO=9%; CaO=15%; SiO2=14%. In addition, there are trace elements such as B, Mn, Zn, Cu, Co… that other fertilizers do not have. Recently, the multi-factor fertilizer products NPK Van Dien 6:12:3 or multi-factor fertilizers NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 are very good fertilizers for fruit trees, especially in the post-harvest stage. . Using Van Dien fused phosphorus products and Van Dien NPK multi-factor fertilizers helps to provide a balanced, complete, multi-, medium-, and micro-nutrients for longan, litchi to restore roots and branches and leaves. Photo: Vandienfmp.vn. Instructions for fertilizing longan and litchi in the post-harvest period This year’s lychee fruit season is very good, so it is necessary to increase efforts to take care of litchi early, while the longan trees bear fruit unevenly, even many trees do not bear fruit, so the care of this year’s longan must be specific to each tree. Non-flowering longan and litchi trees: The longan and litchi trees this year do not flower if this year is not well taken care of, next year will certainly be poor in harvest. To prepare for the fruiting season in 2022, with the trees that do not bear fruit this year, around June and July, corresponding to the annual fruit collection time, still cutting, pruning and weeding as every year. At the same time, apply deep fertilizer with 3-4 kg of composted organic fertilizer and 3-5kg of Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer, in order to provide phosphorus and secondary and micronutrients, part to prepare and accumulate nutrients. for the next crop, the nutritional compensation for the recent overgrowth of leaves is too strong. The litchi trees, longan trees are bearing fruit: Immediately after collecting the fruit, it is necessary to immediately start weeding for the trees: Prune toothpicks, pests, overhanging branches, branches under the canopy … at the same time, fertilize the trees, hoe around the canopy and then fertilize. The amount of fertilizer for each root is about 5-10kg of composted organic fertilizer, 5-7kg of Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer and 3-5kg of Van Dien NPK multi-element fertilizer (5:10:3, 10:7:3. ..). Mix well with the soil, spread it in the canal and fill 2/3 of the trenches, grass cabinets, and garbage to keep the stumps warm. If the soil is too dry, it needs to be watered to keep the roots moist. Based on the time of harvest and the health of the tree, it is necessary to affect the summer or autumn buds. The early fruit trees in June, July, after weeding and fertilizing will give summer buds. Fertilizing for the autumn fortune: Locusts are formed on the leaf axils of summer buds (for early-harvesting plants) or grow from the leaf axils of fruit branches with late-autumn plants. This is the fruit branch of the next year’s longan and litchi crop, so it is necessary to pay special attention to adjusting fertilizer so that the harvest ends before November every year. Apply fertilizer to promote autumn buds in September and October after the summer buds have matured (into the leaves), apply 2-3kg of multi-element fertilizer NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 in combination with felling, pruning and removing branches. pass) in the canopy. Apply fertilizer to promote the collection of 2-3kg of multi-element fertilizer NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 in combination with felling and pruning. Photo: Vadfco. Note, only fertilize the autumn buds for trees under 15 years old, showing signs of lack of fertilizer, poor growth (showing yellow-green leaves) or late fruit trees in August, September. The growth pattern of the tree and the yield of the harvested fruit with more or less fertilizer application. If the weather is dry, it must be combined with watering to help the plants recover quickly and develop early autumn buds. When the buds are collected evenly, it is necessary to spray insecticides to ensure that the buds come out evenly and abundantly, the young buds grow well and are strong enough to make fruiting branches next year. Usually on an old fruit branch, there are many new shoots. When the young branches have enough leaves, it is advisable to trim away the weak, weak branches, leaving only the strong, fat huts to keep as the mother branch for the next crop. In the winter months, do not water, fertilize, create all conditions for the tree to “barren”, inhibit the formation and development of winter buds. By applying Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer and Van Dien NPK multi-factor fertilizer right after fruit collection to create many vigorous autumn branches, combined with inhibiting winter buds, spring when the weather is warm and humid, longan trees , the fabric begins to spring up. Only apply fertilizer to catch flowers for longan and litchi when flower sprouts appear in the axillary leaves of the branches, the amount of application is about 3-5kg of multi-factor fertilizer NPK Van Dien 10:7:3 or 10:10:3, buried. Seal the manure, then water it to stimulate the buds and flowers. Fused phosphate fertilizers and specialized multi-factor NPK fertilizer products for Van Dien at the same time provide a full and balanced supply of essential nutrients for longan and litchi trees, helping them to grow strong and resistant to external conditions. Under unfavorable circumstances, especially during the winter break, litchi trees balance growth with development, creating bountiful fruit seasons.

The facade of a cafe grows on farmland by the lake. Photo: DO HOANG Restaurants, eateries on farmland by the lake Located near the area of ​​lane 54 Vinh Luu connecting to Phuong Luu lake, a hundred square meter agricultural land next to the conditioning lake (Dong Hai ward 1) has been transformed into a monumental coffee shop for many months now. This cafe has a facade stretching for tens of meters by the lakeside road, the outside is a wall built with boulders, the top is a barbed wire fence, surrounded by climbing plants and landscaped trees. The inside of the shop is a hundred square meters wide, decorated in a landscaped garden style with many ornamental plants and mini koi fish tanks. Interspersed between the miniature architecture are the tables and chairs with umbrellas for guests to sit, the innermost is a wooden house as a dispensing area, a toilet area. This was originally an enclosed lakeside agricultural land, but in 2020, when the corrugated iron fence is removed, this wasteland has turned into the most majestic cafe on the shore of Phuong Luu Lake. Next to it, at the beginning of lane 54 Vinh Luu, another agricultural land has also been turned into a restaurant and pub in front of Phuong Luu lake. Around lane 54 Vinh Luu, many other agricultural lands have also been turned into houses, some are shops, and some are still fences. According to people in the area, these agricultural lands were initially leveled, covered with corrugated iron fences, and gradually turned into illegal constructions. Not far away, the area at the beginning of lane 155 Phuong Luu, facing the lake, and the hundreds of square meters of agricultural land by the lake has also turned into a restaurant with a facade stretching for tens of meters. The recovered project land is re-occupied At the corner of the lake near Phuong Luu residential area, the whole strip of land that was recovered for the construction project of Phuong Luu lake entertainment area was also encroached on the lake front, turning into a row of restaurants and pubs. The project, invested by Hong Ngoc Trading and Service Joint Stock Company, has a scale of more than 35,000 m of lakeside land in Dong Hai 1 ward, of which more than 4,700 m of land has been cleared and issued a pink book in 2017. . On this area, since 2010, Hong Ngoc Company has invested in building a drainage system, leveling ground, corrugated iron as a wall. After that, the wall was demolished and encroached upon, only to be recovered by the authorities. The investor has rebuilt the corrugated iron fence as the wall of the land. However, in recent years, the corrugated iron fence has been removed, households with land adjacent to the project have built works on the project’s land, turning this place into a row of houses and restaurants along the lake. . According to statistics of the People’s Committee of Dong Hai 1 ward, on the recovered area of ​​Hong Ngoc Company, there have been more than a dozen households occupying the project land, some households occupying a few square meters, some households occupy several tens of square meters, some even occupy several tens of square meters. Some households even occupy more than 100 m². These encroached lands were built with iron fences and corrugated iron, turning into a population of restaurants along the lake. Hong Ngoc Company has repeatedly petitioned for help but so far has not been returned to the occupied land. Mr. Pham Van Dien, Vice Chairman of Dong Hai 1 Ward People’s Committee, said that by the end of 2020, Hai An District People’s Committee had organized a force to support security and order for Hong Ngoc Company to re-plug the boundary marker to determine the portion of the border. occupied area. According to Mr. Dien, the ward has made a list and statistics of the area each household occupies to come here to set up a record and request the demolition. Detected but difficult to handle? According to Mr. Dien, in addition to the planned area for the project of Hong Ngoc Company, other agricultural land areas in Phuong Luu Lake have been planned for the project of Tan Hong Phuc Company and Thuan Thien Company. In Dong Hai 1 ward alone, there have been more than 30 illegal construction works, including more than a dozen works encroaching on the project land recovered by Hong Ngoc Company. Mr. Dien said the area has turned into a cafe, a restaurant, a lakeside project near Lane 123, Lane 155 Phuong Luu, Lane 54 Vinh Luu stretching to the beginning of Doan Chuan Street, which is farmland. planning industry for the project of Tan Hong Phuc Company and Thuan Thien Company. After being approved, these two projects have been suspended for many years, this strip of agricultural land has not been recovered. These agricultural plots have been leveled and gradually built up buildings. According to Mr. Dien, the Ward People’s Committee has inspected and made records for illegal construction works on this agricultural land. Explaining that the illegal construction work was discovered and then still completed and put into operation, Mr. Dien said that because the force of the ward was thin, the households leveled and built illegally on holidays. Even at night, the ward did not stop it in time. Under the direction of the district, the ward has now made statistics on the agricultural land areas that have been leveled and illegally built to report to the District People’s Committee for a plan to handle. Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, Vice Chairman of Hai An District People’s Committee, said that the district had directed Dong Hai 1 ward to review and establish violation records in the area of ​​Phuong Luu lake. Based on that, districts and wards will mobilize to dismantle, otherwise, they will organize enforcement. “For the offending works at Phuong Luu lake, the district’s view is to resolutely dismantle it,” said Mr. Tuan. Take agricultural land to build hundreds of graves for sale In the area of ​​Phuong Luu lake (Dong Hai ward 1) in late 2020 and early 2021, hundreds of square meters of agricultural land near Dong Khe cemetery (Ngo Quyen district) have been razed to build a series of graves for sale. By the time the district authorities discovered, there were more than 140 graves growing on the agricultural land. The functional forces destroyed more than 140 graves that had not yet been cremated, while two graves had already buried the ashes.

Burning rice straw often does not burn into flames, so there are many harmful gases in the smoke such as CO, CO2, SO2, NO2. Exhaust all toxic gas In 2020, the Hanoi People’s Committee issued Directive No. 15/CT-UBND on strengthening state management measures for the illegal burning of straw, crop by-products and other wastes in order to minimize the negative impact on the city environment. Prof. Dr. Hoang Xuan Co, Hanoi National University, said that now there are many researches and solutions to treat rice straw and limit post-harvest burning. However, the solutions need to be thoroughly researched, scientific and feasible. To solve the problem that needs to be studied to the end, we have had many studies such as converting tablets to burn, making mushrooms, and making manure. But the most basic is how to organize, where is the funding? Accordingly, from January 1, 2021, 100% of rice straw and crop by-products generated will be collected, reused or treated to meet environmental technical requirements; No more burning of straw, crop by-products and domestic solid waste in contravention of regulations in the city. However, at the beginning of June is the spring rice harvest of 2021, in many fields of the city, farmers continue to repeat the situation of burning straw. Typically in Soc Son district, people in communes: Phu Lo, Mai Dinh, Phu Cuong, Thanh Xuan, Tien Duoc… burn rice straw near Noi Bai International Airport, affecting the visibility of aircraft when taking off. , landing. Every year, the Northern Airport Authority must send an official dispatch to Soc Son district to take measures to prevent this situation. The Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment said that the rate of burning straw in the spring crop is about 20%, higher than that of the crop. However, the actual number in districts is much larger such as: Thuong Tin, Thanh Oai accounted for 50%, Thach That 45%, Chuong My 37%, Thanh Tri 33%, Me Linh 30%, Soc Son 25. %… This situation not only causes traffic insecurity but also creates dust, smoke, greenhouse gas emissions, heat causing serious environmental pollution… Environmental experts analyze, burning rice straw often does not burn. As a result, the smoke contains many small dust particles and produces many harmful gases such as CO, CO2, SO2, NO2, affecting people’s health and increasing air pollution in the burning area as well as in the burning area. surrounding areas. Let straw not be a burden to the environment Prof. Dr. Pham Van Toan, Deputy Director of the Vietnam Institute of Agricultural Sciences (VAAS), shared that in the past, rice straw was considered a multi-purpose by-product for Vietnamese farmers (using for cooking, roofing, animal feed, etc.). But when the farming industry thrives, rice production is increasing, the annual source of rice straw generated in Vietnam is very large (estimated at about 50 million tons/year), then the straw is redundant and becomes waste to be treated. According to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Vietnam currently burns more than 20 million tons of rice straw each year. Many localities have promoted the application of mechanization (straw roll machine) in the collection and transportation of straw. It is recommended that the application of biological products to treat rice straw after harvest into organic fertilizer for agriculture, contributing to minimizing environmental pollution. Facing the uncontrolled burning of straw in suburban districts, in the two years 2017 – 2018, Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment introduced to 19 districts in the city a model of using bio-products. Learn to process rice straw into organic fertilizer, and at the same time support 50% of the cost of probiotics for farmers. Dan Phuong district (Hanoi) has an area of ​​​​about 2,500 hectares of rice cultivation. Every year, it has to process 37.5 thousand tons of rice straw and agricultural by-products. After 3 years of implementing the model “Field without burning straw”, using biological products to compost straw into organic fertilizer in 9 communes for growing crops, until now, the situation of burning straw The field is almost nonexistent. According to Mr. Thieu Van Son – Chairman of Dan Phuong District Farmers’ Association, this solution brings “dual” benefits of both improving crop productivity and protecting people’s health. But unfortunately, after a short pilot period and narrow scope, the project ended, the localities were not interested in communicating about the long-term benefits to farmers, so the straw returned to the reluctant treatment. is dried, burned. Strictly handle the act of burning straw in violation of regulations The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has just sent a written request to the People’s Committees of the provinces and cities to direct the Departments of Natural Resources and Environment, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Department of Information and Communications, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism; People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities organize propaganda and mobilization to prevent people from spontaneously burning waste, burning rice straw and agricultural by-products after harvesting crops; assigned Farmers and Women’s Unions, Youth Union to organize for members, union members and farmer households to sign a commitment not to burn rice straw in the field. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment also suggested that provinces and cities need to develop projects and tasks to guide farmers to implement measures to maximize collection, treatment and thorough processing of by-products, post-harvested rice straw into useful products. At the same time, direct the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the Environmental Police, and local authorities at district, ward, and commune levels to strengthen inspection and strictly handle the improper burning of waste and agricultural by-products after harvest; direct Traffic Inspectors and Traffic Police to inspect and strictly handle vehicles carrying soil, stones, construction materials, and daily-life solid waste that are not covered, causing environmental pollution.

Over the years, farmers northern provinces selected multi-element fertilizer (DYT) NPK Van Dien specialized in fertilizing rice crops with outstanding efficiency, the product lines of DYT NPK Van Dien fertilizer have 13 nutritional components, the ratio of nutrients depends on Depending on the type of fertilizer used for priming or for top dressing. According to local custom and also due to market demand, rice variety structure In the northern mountainous provinces, it is quite abundant: in addition to cold rice varieties such as hybrid rice, short-term pure rice KD18. Vnr20… group of semi-photosensitive rice varieties such as U17, U19, or tall sticky rice varieties; In many places, special photosensitive rice varieties are planted such as Bao Thai, yellow flower sticky rice… (Dinh Hoa – Thai Nguyen area). These are high quality rice varieties, but the percentage of flat seeds is high and it is easy to fall if lack of phosphorus and other medium and micro nutrients. From the agronomic characteristics of rice transplanting, as well as nutritional requirements, specialized NPK fertilizer Van Dien provide nutrients for rice plants, from transplanting to the time of flower differentiation (Nutritional growth stage). The fertilizer product lines DYT NPK Van Dien have all 13 nutritional ingredients Research on physiology and nutrition of rice shows that: The life of rice plants can be divided into 2 growth stages: vegetative and vegetative. The vegetative growth stage was counted from the sowing rice to the female standing rice. Crop season, this period usually lasts about 30-35 days with short-term cold varieties; (In particular, the photosensitive rice varieties must wait for a “short day”, which is close to the Bach Lo period, before the rice changes to the vegetative stage). At this stage, the roots develop in the shallow soil layer (about 3-5cm) and in the direction of spreading according to the cover of the rice leaves, when the set of rice leaves covers the row, the rice roots are also woven into the field. this period rice focus on tillering, spreading leaves, spreading sheath to make false stems, so the most nutritional needs are protein, potassium and less phosphorus and other medium and micronutrients. DYT NPK fertilizer specializing in fertilizing rice has many different formulations such as: multi-factor fertilizer NPK ( 16 :5 :17) has a content of N 16%, P2O5 5%. K2O 17% Mg 5%, SiO2 7%, CaO 8%, S 2%, etc. Currently, many places people use NPK . formula 13:3:10 +TE. These are fertilizers with high nutritional content of nitrogen, helping rice plants to lay strong, grow leaves, and grow stems. The nutrient content of potassium is quite high in the fertilizer to promote moderate tillering. In addition to the balance of NPK substances according to the needs of rice plants at tillering stage, there are also enough medium and micronutrients to help rice plants grow healthy, hard rhizomes, good resistance to pests and unfavorable environment. The stage of vegetative growth was calculated from the time of differentiation of the stem to the maturity of the rice. The long-term rice varieties have the time to stand female, while the short-term rice varieties usually do not show the time when the rice is female, but the rice plants may still have tillering but have differentiated. The time of transition to the vegetative stage is counted from when the rice leaf set is more upright, the leaves are “equal to the head” or when the rice begins to harden and round the base. From here, a second layer of roots develops into the soil layers below; When the rice plant blooms, it is the time when the trunk reaches its greatest height, the roots also go down to the plow layer and reach the greatest “depth”. Providing enough nutrients at this stage helps the process of making poles, favorable flowering, good and durable leaves and large flowers, many seeds. In addition to the micronutrients, rice plants need a lot of phosphorus and NK balance to differentiate flower sprouts, especially high silicon content to help harden the root, stem, and stand the leaves to increase resistance to pests and sugar accumulation. flour. NPK fertilizer specialized in fertilizing rice has many different formulas such as: NPK NPK 6:12:3 or NPK 5:12:3 , 10:10:5, 10:7:3 or multi factor rice fertilizer 1 specializing in fertilizing rice with sufficient and balanced nutrients NPK and micronutrients necessary for rice plants in the growing and flowering stage. Multi-element fertilizer (DYT) NPK Van Dien specializes in fertilizing rice crops to help achieve outstanding efficiency Cultivating seasonal rice in the northern provinces with fertilizer DYT NPK Van Dien: Manuring : Depending on the foot of the field, rice variety and the amount of organic fertilizer, balance the amount of fertilizer in the crop; average about 15-20 kg / sao. High-legged fields, less rice transplanted, less fertilizer, low-lying fields, more acidic, more rice transplanted, more fertilized, especially Bao Thai rice fields, tall sticky rice trees.. need to give priority to lining fertilizer, can fertilize 20-25kg/pole. In order for the fertilizer to be mixed evenly and sent to the soil layers below, meeting the nutritional needs of the rice growing and flowering stage; manure should be spread evenly on the field before harrowing for transplanting or before the last harrowing turn; If you are worried about dehydration or loss of manure, you can spread manure right after the harrowing is completed, when the water is still cloudy and the mud is still loose. Do not apply fertilizer after the water is clear, the mud has settled. Because when the sludge is settled, the nutrients have been attached to the soil grain and sink, in the water at this time only the substances that cause acid and alum remain, which are toxic to the rice roots. Therefore, to settle the sludge, in the water for 1-2 days, remove the clear water and then sow. Dressing: .Based on the bottom of the field, the amount of NPK multi-factor fertilizer applied as a primer and the growth situation of each rice variety that fertilizes seasonal rice as follows: – Thickly transplanted rice fields, large transplanted fields, low-lying fields… Fertilize about 8-12 kg / pole. – The fields are fertile, high, or dehydrated. High yielding rice varieties need to be fertilized about 12-15kg/sao. -The swampy fields, Bao Thai rice fields, tall sticky rice, or other easy-to-fall rice varieties… reduce the amount of fertilizer, (you can even remove fertilizer) and should only fertilize when transplanting. 7-10 days. – Particularly, the foot of the field is high and rapid, the rice variety is hard-bodied, the fertilizer is applied twice: 60-70% of the fertilizer is applied when the rice is ready to burn, and the rest of the fertilizer is applied. To reduce fertilizer loss due to evaporation, leaching or leaching, etc., fertilizer should not be applied when it is hot and when the field is full of water. Fertilizer should be applied when it is cool and the field is dry.

Mr. Vien Long Binh, aged 91, is considered the father of hybrid rice. Photo: CCTV. “We recognize and highly appreciate the contributions of Professor and Academician Vien Long Binh to the world agricultural science in general and China in particular, especially appreciate the results of hybridization to create The world’s first hybrid rice was developed in 1973. With this success, he has helped nearly 20% of the world’s population escape hunger and contributed to making China one of the world’s leading rice producers,” said Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan. First letter of condolence, sent on May 23, 2021, to the family of the late Professor, Academician Yuan Longping and the Chinese agricultural industry. Mr. Yuan Longping was born in 1930, is China’s leading agricultural scientist on hybrid rice. He and his colleagues have contributed to bringing rice yield from 4.5 tons/ha to 15 tons/ha. This is considered the key to helping China solve the food security problem for more than a billion people in this country. Thanks to the late Professor Vien Long Binh, hybrid rice has been replicated throughout Africa, America and Asia. In Vietnam, the first generation of hybrid rice that was put into wide production was the variety Bac Uu 64 (also known as Tap Giao 4 – TG4), starting in the early 1990s. Thanks to this variety, along with the following varieties. such as San uu 63 (called Tap Giao 1), San uu Que 99 (Tap Giao 5), Vietnam has stabilized domestic food. After nearly ten years of access, our country has self-produced high-quality hybrid rice varieties such as HYT100, HYT 57, LC2, LC3, especially VL20 and TH3-3. However, the pioneer in the development of hybrid rice still belongs to the late Professor Vien Long Binh. Minister Le Minh Hoan continued: “In his working life, Professor, Academician Vien Long Binh has visited, worked, and supported projects/programs on hybrid rice many times, and trained staff. Research and technology transfer for Vietnam’s agricultural industry These are solid agricultural scientific foundations, gradually contributing to poverty reduction, ensuring food security and creating an export miracle. rice export of Vietnam”. At the end of the letter, Minister Hoan expressed his gratitude to the man who is considered the father of hybrid rice: “In the face of infinite grief, on behalf of Vietnam’s agricultural industry and in my personal name, I would like to send to the whole family of Mr. and the Chinese agriculture industry deeply condolences for this great loss and grief.”

Working session between Minister Le Minh Hoan and NNVN Newspaper on the morning of May 22. Photo: Dinh Tung. On the morning of May 22, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan visited and worked at the Newspaper Vietnamese culture . Also attending were Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep and leaders of some units in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. ‘The mission of the press is to transmit multidimensional information’ Minister Le Minh Hoan is a regular newspaper writer under the familiar pseudonym Cyclo. Therefore, when talking with staff, reporters, editors and employees of the Newspaper, Vietnamese culture , he did not talk much about the responsibilities and functions of the newspaper in general. Instead, Minister Le Minh Hoan spends most of his time sharing inspirational stories about journalism. “Why did the founder of Apple Corporation use the apple logo as a logo? Because, life is not perfect and each of us has to work to make the dent fill up. up”. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan. Photo: Dinh Tung. The minister raised the issue and continued: “Because nothing is perfect, we have room to think, create and answer the questions why, why and why?”. When journalists go to the fields, wade fields, and meet relatives, they must always ask the question, why are farmers still poor? Why is the countryside undeveloped? Why is the agricultural value chain broken? Why do we want to eat clean but the food is not safe?… Minister Le Minh Hoan said: Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung – Minister of Information and Communications said a very good sentence: “The word question will stimulate discovery and investigation”. Good journalists know how to ask good questions. Sometimes the question is more important than the answer. In front of the team of journalists Vietnamese culture, Mr. Le Minh Hoan emphasized: “Once upon a time, journalism was a tool for propaganda, but later on, we realized that the mission of the press is not only one-way communication but a multi-dimensional information transmission channel. “. It is information from life that will lead to the adjustment of the leader’s decision. If that transmission channel is blocked, it will be difficult to grasp the voice of life. Elevating the role of the press in the current era, the Commander of the Agriculture and Rural Development sector said: The development of the press and media will create added value for the connected economy. If we do well, we can activate an entire society, activate classes, change production and business models. “Journalists themselves contribute to creating added value for agriculture by communicating new models, new ways of doing things, and new products,” said Minister Le Minh Hoan. “The value of a product includes cost and intangible factors such as local traditions, history, culture… And we not only sell products but also emotions to consumers.” . Therefore, journalists also need to know how to breathe life into the products. In order for readers to have feelings about their work, journalists first need to read a lot, travel a lot, be moved and be moved by the things they witness. For example, when propagating about building a new countryside, we should not put too much emphasis on 19 criteria, on infrastructure. “New rural propaganda is about both the core and the soul”. When returning to the locality, do not see the new concrete road, the new cultural house, the new bridge, the new medical station but rush to rejoice. The village must retain its soul, retain its walls of green trees, a fresh environment, a harmony between people, nature and socio-cultural institutions. “If the city is the place to compare the level of civilization, the village is the place to compare the history and culture of the nation”, the Minister shared. Multimedia press agency Newspaper Editor-in-Chief Vietnamese culture Nguyen Ngoc Thach said that in October 2020, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development approved the Project on Development and Management of Newspapers. Vietnamese culture to 2025, with orientation to 2030 to realize the development goals of the Newspaper Vietnamese culture “becoming a multi-media, multi-platform press agency with a comprehensive ecosystem”. At the same time, this is a newspaper with in-depth and specialized content that is “updated, reliable, oriented, spread and effective” on agriculture and rural development on the basis of multimedia journalism and digital technology applications. Editor-in-Chief of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper Nguyen Ngoc Thach at the meeting with leaders of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Photo: Dinh Tung. Overview of the results achieved in the past time, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thach said, Newspaper Vietnamese culture was evaluated by the Central Committee for Propaganda and Training, the Vietnam Journalists Association, and fellow press agencies as “one of the press agencies with a streamlined apparatus, high-quality human resources, effective and efficient operation. present results”. “All rivers flow, stand still and fall behind” “Current journalism activities pose huge problems, changing or stopping, and how to change to live is difficult,” Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Hoang Hiep suggested. He said that the newspaper Vietnamese culture have overcome difficult times, are the few newspapers that have been continuously awarded certificates of merit by the Central Committee for Propaganda in the past 2 years, for both keeping the principle of purpose and improving the material life. , spirit for cadres, civil servants, public employees and employees. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Hoang Hiep. Photo: Dinh Tung. However, if we just stop at that level, it will not work. Because “all rivers flow, if we stand still, we will definitely fall behind”. Deputy Minister Nguyen Hoang Hiep proposed the Minister, leaders of agencies and units under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to create conditions and closely coordinate to report to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Vietnamese culture have resources to continue investing in infrastructure, equipment and technology, etc. to constantly develop, thereby fulfilling the task of information and propaganda of the agriculture and rural development sector. Mr. Nguyen Van Viet, Director of the Planning Department (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) said, Newspaper Vietnamese culture is a self-financed non-business unit, but over the years the newspaper has done very well the functions and tasks assigned by the Ministry. At the same time, the newspaper has also built a propaganda ecosystem commensurate with the development requirements in the 4.0 period.

In order to promote and introduce potential strengths, Ca Mau province has passed events, cultural, sports, tourism and commercial activities to domestic and foreign tourists, including the event “Perfume” U Minh forest”. Currently, U Minh Ha forest land still ranks first in the freshwater ecosystem in the Mekong Delta. In particular, this place also has a traditional job of guarding bees, associated with the U Minh Ha honey brand known to the whole country. Mr. Pham Duy Thanh (living in Khanh Binh Northwest commune, Tran Van Thoi district), said that when coming to the Melaleuca forest area, the most interesting thing for tourists is to eat bees for honey. Beekeeping is a family tradition. Before developing into a tourism product, this was the main income earner for Mr. Thanh’s family. “Being introduced to friends all over the world, the special traditional craft of our homeland is a great happiness for us,” said Mr. Thanh. Through activities in the event “Fragrance of U Minh Forest”, Ca Mau wishes to help visitors experience and discover the rich products of the land of U Minh Ha. Thereby, promoting and introducing potentials and strengths of U Minh district through cultural, tourism, culinary and commercial activities. Creating conditions for businesses to meet, connect, expand links, cooperate in tourism development, attract investment in developing product brands, improve competitiveness with localities in the province… Tourists visit and experience the activities of guarding bee trusses in U Minh Ha forest (Ca Mau). On the basis of promoting the potential of local agricultural strengths, Bac Lieu also finds resources to exploit the cultural and landscape characteristics of rural areas to form attractive agricultural tourism products. Visitors can visit and experience such as visiting Bac Lieu longan garden as a typical example. Located 6km from the center of Bac Lieu city, stretching nearly 7km along the coastal route from Nha Mat ward to Vinh Trach Dong commune with an area of ​​over 50 hectares. The highlight here are the longan gardens with many ancient longan roots, with trees up to hundreds of years old. In addition, a rural setting typical for the countryside of the Mekong Delta creates an attractive agro-ecological space that can organize diverse tourism activities, such as: weekend breaks, culture , ecology, cuisine… Currently, Bac Lieu longan garden area has implemented a project to preserve ancient longan associated with tourism development in Giong longan tourist area with over 1,110 original longan trees owned by 48 households in Hiep Thanh commune and Vinh Zedong. Or sightseeing tours associated with mangroves, agro-ecology, fishery combined with visiting wind power are also developed by Bac Lieu province. Due to its natural features, Bac Lieu’s sea does not have natural beaches, but has unique features of the mangrove ecosystem such as the mangrove landscape with interlaced canals, a system of farms and areas. aquaculture. Especially wind power projects in coastal areas… These areas can be exploited for tourism development in the form of resort resorts associated with agro-ecology, visiting wind power, directly experiencing the life of coastal residents such as: fishing, fishing, etc. , catch shrimp or catch clams… Recently, Dong Thap province has emerged as one of the localities with a rapid breakthrough in tourism development. Although there are not many famous scenic spots, but with the advantage of agriculture, the enthusiasm of the people of Dong Thap province has many good ways to “retain” tourists when coming to the land of pink lotus. As a purely agricultural province, agriculture is considered a key economic sector to help Dong Thap province promote economic development. However, in the past few years, many farmers have shifted to develop agricultural production along with tourism. The new economic model not only helps farmers in Dong Thap province to improve their income, but also improves farmers’ thinking about agricultural economic development. According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dong Thap province, over the past time, the agricultural tourism model has helped farmers in Dong Thap province to improve their income many times higher, a part of farmers in Dong Thap province is gradually switching from agricultural production. purely agricultural economic model. In the period from 2016 to 2020, the orchard attractions in the province have welcomed over 150,000 tourists with a total revenue of over 43 billion VND. This is a clear demonstration that developing agricultural tourism is a promising new direction to help Dong Thap province extend the value chain of agricultural production. Many farmers in Dong Thap also expressed that they develop tourism not only for economic benefits but also for responsibility and pride for their homeland. When doing tourism besides agricultural production, what they receive is not only immediate profits but also useful information through contact with tourists… Tourists visit and experience the activities of guarding bee trusses in U Minh Ha forest (Ca Mau). One of the places with many agricultural tourist attractions when coming to Can Tho city is Phong Dien district. This place not only has My Khanh tourist village with many games and attractive dishes, but also many households doing eco-tourism, concentrated in the hamlets: My Hoa, My Nhon and My Ai (My Khanh commune). . The owner of Hoang Anh fruit garden belongs to farmer Vo Hoang Thanh. Having opened a restaurant to sell food and drinks to people in the neighborhood, 7 years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Thanh boldly invested in gardens, dug fish ponds and formed an ecological area to serve tourists. This ecological garden is located on the banks of a 6,000m² wide canal, growing all kinds of fruit trees, such as: green grapefruit, dragon fruit, pineapple (pineapple), papaya, custard apple… Not far away is a 1.2 hectare garden planted and maintained by Mr. Lam The Cuong (My Ai hamlet, My Khanh commune) for more than 60 years. In the garden, he built small houses so that visitors could stay overnight… Can Tho currently has over 32 tourist garden sites and dozens of households doing community tourism. This is a type of tourism developed on the basis of cultural values ​​of the community, managed, exploited and benefited by residents. The city’s tourism development goal is to help people increase their income, improve their lives, exchange and exchange cultures, contribute to socio-economic development… According to Mr. Nguyen Khanh Tung, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Can Tho City, community tourism development in Can Tho will not follow the general model but depending on the natural conditions and characteristics of each locality to build a model. fit. In which, it is necessary to clearly identify the subject of community tourism activities as the local people, the indigenous cultural identity is the core value. “We will survey and re-locate potential areas for community-based tourism, from which there will be a proposal to build a community development tourism project for Can Tho,” said Mr. Tung.

According to experts from a California-based start-up company (USA), this electric multi-purpose self-propelled agricultural machine can help farmers transform green production more strongly because it is a completely electric-powered product. the world’s first. Monarch’s products are considered the “King of Agricultural Machines” to open up the process of green production transformation with unprecedented smart, high-tech and safety features. Photo: Designboom The advantage of the versatile agricultural machine designed by Monarch Tractor is that it is quite compact and programmed to perform different jobs such as plowing, harvesting, mowing and can operate in up to 10 hours after 5 hours of charging. According to Monarch experts, when each of their agricultural machines is powered by renewable electricity to replace the traditional older generation with diesel engines, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 53 tons per year – the equivalent of removing 14 gasoline-powered passenger cars from the road. Although this versatile agricultural machine does not require a driver, to comply with applicable US regulations it must have a person operating it remotely, receiving real-time warnings and being able to stop the vehicle. in necessary situations. The product is also equipped with sensors, which can remotely detect livestock and crops, and has a collision prevention system that allows it to work autonomously at the same time as farm workers. Several tech companies are also working on developing unmanned agricultural machines, including California-based Bear Flag, Illinois-based John Deere and Denmark’s Agrointelli, but Monarch is the first to offer the product. With nearly two decades of experience working in mobility and energy, Monarch Tractor startup founder and CEO Praveen Penmetsa says he captures the trend of how technology can shape an industry. “Looking at these two industries has helped me shape a pattern and the idea that global agriculture is also ready for transformation,” Mr. Penmetsa said. CNN Business. In addition, this versatile agricultural machine can also collect data during operation to provide farmers with information on crop health, long-term yield forecasts, and warnings about problems. problems such as leakage of irrigation water or degraded soil … After raising $20 million in March, Penmetsa and a team of more than 50 engineers at the company’s Livermore headquarters conducted a series of trials on farms in three states. Save labor and fuel It is expected that within the next two months, the company will officially offer the first agricultural machines to farmers in the states of California, Washington and Oregon with prices starting at $ 50,000. The Monarch company is hoping to start commercial production by the end of this year. Monarch’s versatile agricultural machine can save farmers thousands of dollars a year in labor and fuel costs, experts say. Monarch Tractor’s versatile agricultural machine is expected to be mass-produced from the end of this year. Photo: Agriland According to David Rose, associate professor of agricultural innovation at the University of Reading, farmers are under increasing pressure to manage to feed a growing population coupled with consumer demand for agricultural products. sustainable products, while they face labor shortages. “The whole society is asking farmers to overcome many challenges at the same time. I don’t think we look at our plates on the table three times a day and think about all the hardships farmers are facing,” Mr Rose said. According to Mr. Rose, at this stage, the most transformative feature of the Monarch farm machine is that it runs on electricity and the relief of gas-hungry, diesel-hungry equipment is amazing. However, what Monarch’s founder and CEO is most excited about is the prospect that farmers can use parameters and data in the production process to provide more transparency to customers. Mr. Penmetsa envisions that there will be a QR code on agro-food packaging that shoppers can scan to access information about how the product is made. “We want consumers to appreciate what farmers go through to get food to the table. If farmers can tell that story through data, I think we can create a direct bridge,” Penmetsa said.

Every ingredient from the cocoa fruit is turned into a processing ingredient. Photo: B.Nguyen In Dong Nai, many production models applying biotechnology to recycle waste into input materials for other production processes, minimizing the amount of waste discharged into the environment are gradually being replicated. * Green production At the forefront of the movement to turn harmful wastes in agricultural production into raw materials for processing into other high-value economic products are enterprises with large investment capital. Viet Farm Trading Co., Ltd chose to invest in Xuan Truong commune, Xuan Loc district because this is a thriving locality in livestock. Starting a business, the business mainly manufactures livestock equipment and designs and constructs livestock barn systems. The barn system designed by the company is fully automatic from the feeding system to collecting chicken manure, cooling system… In which, the enterprise is very interested in waste treatment so that it can earn money. money instead of having to spend a lot of money to treat this waste source. Mr. Tran Quang Tinh, Director of Viet Farm Trading Co., Ltd shared: “The enterprise has invested in an organic fertilizer factory with a capacity of 200 tons/day and signed contracts for waste treatment for a number of corporations. large foreign-invested livestock groups in Dong Nai. In particular, livestock waste is used as a raw material for the production of organic fertilizers, bringing high economic value. Production of organic fertilizers from livestock waste of Viet Farm Trading Company Limited (Xuan Loc District) The story of sustainable agricultural production in a closed chain that takes advantage of all agricultural wastes and by-products, without creating environmental pollution is being replicated in farmers’ production. In the past time, H. Vinh Cuu is promoting a program to mobilize and support farmers to apply probiotics as pesticides, organic fertilizers from domestic waste and waste in agricultural production with the goal of achieving the goal. reduce production costs, increase added value for key agricultural products, local strengths. Here, agricultural waste becomes a resource, a natural organic substance that can help plants grow. Ms. Bui Thi Thuy, a farmer in Vinh An Town (Vinh Cuu District), said that after participating in a number of local training courses on organic farming, she applied biotechnology. Make your own organic fertilizers and use probiotics to create biological products that kill insects. She has improved the productive land more and more fertile thanks to this method. “The natural production method I am doing makes full use of all agricultural waste such as manure and organic waste to make fertilizer for plants, so the cost is very low. I am trying to perfect the chain of cultivation and processing according to a closed process, using fruit trees grown in my home garden as raw materials to make handmade products that are both unique and environmentally friendly,” said Ms. Thuy. * Zero-waste processing Trong Duc Cocoa Co., Ltd (Dinh Quan) has cooperated with a group of Assoc., PhD students of the International University of Ho Chi Minh City to carry out research projects on processing foods and drinks of economic value. benefits from cocoa fruit waste products. New product lines under investment include: production of cookies and non-fried instant noodles supplemented with cocoa pod powder; production process of vegetarian sausage and pectin from cocoa powder; the production process of nutritious drink from cocoa fruit flesh… The highlight of these products is the use of raw materials such as waste from the skin, cocoa fruit flesh to process valuable foods. nutritional and economic. The above cooperation program is part of the common goal of the enterprise, which is to focus on investing in deep processing, constantly diversifying products and foods processed from cocoa fruit, especially from cocoa fruit waste to create profits. competitive advantage for products not only in the domestic market but also in export. Mr. Dang Truong Khanh, Director of Trong Duc Cocoa Co., Ltd. shared that the enterprise would like scientists to accompany in researching new products from cocoa fruit. In particular, high-value foods are processed from materials that are waste products in the production process, contributing to adding added value to cocoa trees. The most unique product line to mention is the specialty of cocoa wine that is brewed from the flesh of the previous cocoa fruit, which is discarded during the production process. With the same opinion, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Van Hung, representing a group of scientists from the International University of Ho Chi Minh City, said, diversifying many products from cocoa skin and flesh, which are waste products in the process. production process brings higher economic value. In particular, this is a product line that is beneficial to human health because it has higher antioxidants, meeting the demand for healthy food of today’s consumers. Research on these products is now almost completed and can be put into production immediately. However, the research team will continue to recalculate the production process and equipment. Hopefully, the cooperation of scientists and businesses will connect and bring more processed products to the market.

When the “green sprout” has begun to take root, the tree is close to the human shoulder and the “dream” of orchards combined with tourism in southern Vietnam is gradually taking shape, the flood of October 2020 has swept away. of almost all grandparents. More than 2/3 of the trees in the garden were buried in fierce floods, uprooted. Getting up after a fierce flood, with the motto of taking short and long, they started to rebuild the remaining stumps and choose to plant bitter melon alternating crops. Talking to the reporter, Ms. Pham Thi Hue shared: “Bitter melon is an easy-to-grow plant that has a fairly resilient vitality, which is both suitable for local climatic and soil conditions, and does not require much. After being incubated, the cuttings will be potted, wait until the plants have grown, about 10cm high, they will be planted. After a period of 3-4 months, the tree will be harvested “. The model of growing bitter melon of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue’s family (Tien village, Vo Ninh commune, Quang Ninh district) brings high economic efficiency. In particular, the bitter melon garden of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue’s family is grown in the direction of clean agriculture, does not use pesticides and is completely fertilized with manure. To prevent plant diseases, Ms. Hue and her husband treated lime in the soil, implemented methods to prevent pests and diseases with biological products, such as ginger, garlic, chili …, so bitter melon was moderate. It has a delicious crunch, which ensures food safety and is very popular with consumers. Also according to Ms. Hue, bitter melon wants to grow and develop well, it is necessary to keep regular moisture. Therefore, she and her husband invested in drip irrigation systems using Israeli technology and made use of locally available materials, such as bamboo and neohouzeaua, to make trusses and a net mesh system. Thanks to the correct technical process, the bitter melon in the garden of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue’s family is evenly large and purchased by traders. During the peak period, she imported to traders 1.5 quintals / day with prices from 20,000 to 25,000 / kg. Recognizing bitter melon is very good for health, helping to purify the body, cool the liver, detoxify and prevent cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure …, besides fresh products, the family of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue boldly experimented with drying and processing products into bitter melon tea with a price much higher than that of ordinary fresh bitter melon. According to Ms. Hue, bitter melon dried in tea form can be preserved for a long time, easy to use, so many consumers love and order. Currently on the garden area of ​​1.4ha, in addition to 6.000m2 dedicated to planting bitter melon, Ms. Hue and her husband also planted purple sweet potatoes like Japanese, sweet melon, gourd, squash and some kinds of fruit trees, such as: mango Thai, Thai jackfruit in the direction of clean agriculture, promises productivity and brings high economic efficiency. Evaluating the effectiveness of the model, Mr. Pham Van Dan, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Vo Ninh commune said: “From 2018 to now, restructuring agricultural production in the direction of increasing the value associated with development, With the development of the product value chain, Vo Ninh commune has actively propagated and mobilized farmers to convert inefficient rice land, so far, the whole commune has converted more than 100 hectares of muddy land and planted. Low-yield rice to diversified economic models, such as the clean agriculture model of Mrs. Pham Thi Hue and her husband, models of conversion have brought about clear effects in terms of productivity and price. economic treatment and step by step help Vo Ninh form branded production areas, increase people’s income “. “From the exciting initial results, we intend to plant more bitter melon in the summer-autumn season so that the fruit can be harvested, providing clean products to the market all year round. In the long term, the family’s intention will still be to develop more fruit trees so that the elderly, children in the village and hamlets have a place to walk, rest and enjoy clean fruit right in the garden ”, Ms. Pham Thi Hue sincerely shared more.

At the Awards Ceremony of the National Quality Awards and the Asia-Pacific International Quality Awards 2019 and 2020, the Que Lam Group is the pioneer enterprise in organic farming that was honored. The year 2019 and 2020 mark the great achievements of the Que Lam Group, making an important contribution to the development of the agricultural industry. The use of probiotics in Que Lam Group’s livestock models overcame African swine fever in 2019 and has been directed by the leadership of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to replicate the model suitable for farming. households to many provinces across the country. Mr. Khac Ngoc Ba, Deputy General Director of Que Lam Group received the National Quality Award and Asia-Pacific International Quality Award 2019, 2020. Photo: I Lich. Que Lam Group has carried out 5 research projects to serve biosafety breeding, including: Researching and proposing the process of producing raw materials for feed in pig farming in the direction of organic and biosafety. learning with the goal of building organic production processes for some crops as raw materials for organic pig feed production, biosecurity for farmers and providing enough inputs. for an organic feed factory about 50,000 tons / year. Along with that is the topic “Research on effective use of Lacto powder T in organic feed and drinking water for pig farming in the direction of organic and biosecurity” with the aim of determining the optimal utilization rate. Lacto powder T in feed and drinking water for pig farming. Research, transfer and master the technology to develop Japan’s leading advanced technology factory with a production capacity of 10,000 tons / year. Collecting organic by-products, serving microbiological organic fertilizer factory with capacity of 100,000 tons / year All are aimed at forming a circular economic chain in agriculture. After nearly thirty years of hard work with organic agriculture, with the fire from the head, Chairman of Que Lam Group Nguyen Hong Lam, up to now, Que Lam has built a circulating agricultural ecosystem. Farming and Ranching. That ecosystem includes 14 member units operating throughout the country, to both Cambodia and Laos, 8 microbiological organic fertilizer factories, and thousands of models linked with farmers in provinces. and especially the 4F complex in Thua Thien – Hue province, the first 4F complex in Vietnam. It is important that with the persistence and steadfastness on the journey of organic farming, the Que Lam Group has contributed to changing the perception and thinking of farmers, scientists, and managers in this field. . If in 2018 there were only 32 provinces accompanying Que Lam on an area of ​​nearly 60,000 hectares of crops, by 2020, 51 provinces and cities will join in on an area of ​​more than 100,000 hectares. These are very encouraging results, showing that awareness of an organic agriculture has changed the landscape of agricultural production in Vietnam.

The application of scientific advances in agricultural production is an inevitable trend to reduce labor force and increase crop productivity in order to bring about high economic efficiency. In particular, the use of drones (drones) to spray plant protection drugs (BVTV) in Long Dien district initially showed effectiveness not only in production, but also contributing to protecting the health of farmers. . Farmers watched the demonstration of flying equipment spraying pesticides by the District Farmers Association in coordination with SNEWRICE JSC to perform the winter-spring crop 2020-2021 on the fields of An Nhut commune. 30% DISCOUNT OF Pesticides The device for spraying pesticides for plants is unfamiliar to many farmers in the province, but to farmers in Long Dien district, this device is quite familiar. In the Winter-Spring crop of 2020-2021, the District Farmers Association in collaboration with SNEWRICE Joint Stock Company (Ho Chi Minh City) held a demonstration of spraying pesticides by drone on more than 30 hectares of rice in An Nhut commune (the company supports 100 % injection). This form initially shows practical effectiveness and promises to be able to deploy on a large scale in the near future. This is also an activity in the project of implementing high technology application in agricultural cultivation, improving production efficiency for farmers. With drones, the droplets coming out of the nozzle are very small and smooth, helping the farmer reduce the actual amount of water needed while ensuring even surface spread and high efficiency. The spraying of pesticides on rice by drones also increases labor productivity by 15-30 times, shortens the spraying time per unit area; 30% reduction in pesticides compared to conventional spraying. Witnessing the spraying equipment in the field with his own eyes, Mr. Huynh Van Manh (An Lac hamlet, An Nhut commune) said that in the past, he sprayed pesticides with a bottle on his back. Although he is equipped with protective equipment such as raincoats, gloves, and boots, he cannot avoid inhaling the smell of medicine. In this Winter – Spring season, he registered with the Farmers’ Association to spray pesticides with drones on his family’s 4ha of rice. “With the manual spraying method, for each hectare of rice, I have to pay 400 thousand dong to hire labor. In the Winter – Spring crop 2020-2021, I spray with a drone, the cost is lower, only 350 thousand VND / ha, and the amount of medicine is reduced by nearly 30%. So I will use drones to spray drugs in the coming rice crops, ”said Manh. According to Huynh Trung Thanh, Director of An Nhut Agriculture – Service Cooperative, spraying with drones saves water and pesticides while reducing rice yield loss by 150-200 kg / ha compared to conventional spraying. rice is not stepped on like when sprayed with a can. “On the fields of An Nhut cooperative, farmers linked production and cultivated simultaneously on an area of ​​more than 200 hectares, so the use of drones to spray pesticides is very effective,” said Thanh. for more info. Using drones to spray pesticides helps to save production costs, reduce the impact of pesticides on the environment and affect water and soil sources. ESTABLISHMENT OF HIGH-TECH AGRICULTURAL CO-operative Over the past years, farmers in Long Dien district have applied agricultural mechanization and brought higher efficiency in production; Contribute to agricultural restructuring, improve the quality of agricultural products and increase profits. However, the application of flying equipment in spraying, fertilizing … is still limited due to large investment costs. According to Mr. Huynh Van So, Vice Chairman of Farmers Association of Long Dien district, the spraying of pesticides with drones has shown many benefits to the fields in An Nhut commune. Therefore, on April 15, the District Farmers Association cooperated with the TT.Long Dien Farmers’ Association to set up Green Leaf High-tech Agricultural Cooperative. The cooperative has 7 members, specializing in providing services and applying science and technology in agricultural production. “Since the use of drones in agriculture in Long Dien district is relatively new, the District Farmers Union will coordinate with SNEWRICE JSC to disseminate this technique step by step. Step one, the company will make drone spraying service for farmers. Step two, proceed to training and implementation in cooperatives. Then, when the effectiveness has been verified over time, the Farmers’ Union levels will be massively deployed in the fields of An Nhut, An Ngai and Tam Phuoc communes, ”said Mr. So. The adoption of drones for agricultural production is an important transition in accelerating the mechanization of the agricultural sector. This step contributes to promoting competitive advantages, improving the efficiency and quality of agricultural products and increasing farmers’ income.

In Ninh Thuan province, the Cyclic Energy Solution Company (CAS Company) is applying the model of goat farming and experimental planting of trees under panels at 3ha large solar farm. However, Mr. Tran Anh Dong, Director of CAS Company, said: “The company’s main revenue is from solar power, while the revenue from agricultural production is still low. Currently, the company is still struggling in finding high-yield crops suitable for the conditions to be planted under solar panels ”. According to Nguyen Quoc Khanh, the model of solar power combined with agriculture has great potential, both increasing the efficiency of land use and creating more income for farmers. However, at present, this model still has many limitations such as: Not meeting farm economic criteria, no support mechanism for solar power, lack of information on suitable crops, no technical guidance, lack of practical model … In order for this model to really promote its effectiveness, the State needs more mechanisms and policies to help businesses overcome the above problems.

The locality at the forefront of the movement towards high-tech agriculture in Binh Dinh is the midland district of Hoai An. According to Mr. Vo Duy Tin, Deputy Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Hoai An District, there are 22 agricultural cooperatives in the district, of which 16 have transformed and operated under the Law on Cooperatives in 2012 and 6 specialized cooperatives. New agriculture is established in 2020. La’sfarm High-Tech Cooperative is one of the first units in Binh Dinh to apply high-tech vegetable production. Photo: Vu Dinh Thung. Since 2019, An Tin Agriculture Cooperative (Hoai An District) has pioneered clean rice production. The cooperative was the first unit of Binh Dinh to grow high-quality rice in an organic way. According to Mr. Bui Long Xuan, Director of An Tin Agricultural Cooperative, in the winter-spring crop 2020-2021, the cooperative produces 2.5 hectares of high-quality rice following the process of no chemical fertilizers, no pesticides, and only using organic fertilizers and microbiological fertilizers to create clean rice products. Currently, the cooperative’s organic rice has been certified, has its own packaging and labels. Initially, the cooperative sold organic rice at the price of 20,000 VND / kg and was well received by the provincial market. “In the coming summer-autumn crop of 2021, we will multiply the area of ​​high-quality organic rice production to improve our ability to meet the market, and at the same time, invest in the application of rice seeding technology and rice drying technology. improve the quality of clean rice products ”, shared Mr. Bui Long Xuan. La’sfarm High-Tech Agriculture Cooperative (Hoai An District) is also the first unit of Binh Dinh province to apply high technology to the production of vegetables and fruits. According to Mr. Tran Bao Diep, Director of La’sfarm High-Tech Cooperative, the cooperative is applying Israeli high-tech techniques such as growing vegetables in a greenhouse, automatic drip irrigation with timer and production control on the phone. smart, fertilize with microbiological fertilizers to create organic products according to VietGAP standards. “The application of high technology in production helps to create clean agricultural products, especially melon with beautiful designs, all sizes and delicious quality, very popular with the market”, Mr. Diep said. The fragrant cucumber by the Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology of the South Central Coast is planted with high technology. Photo: Vu Dinh Thung. Not only developing clean agricultural production models, Hoai An district also develops many linkage models from production to consumption of clean agricultural products locally. For example, the Agriculture Cooperative 19/4 in An Tuong Tay commune specializes in growing green grapefruit in the direction of VietGAP. The initial capital was 5 hectares of green skin pomelo in the garden of Mr. Nguyen Hoai Thuong (Cooperative Director), then the cooperative linked with many other members to increase the total area of ​​green skin pomelo of the cooperative to 55 hectares. Currently, 55 hectares of the cooperative’s green skin pomelo in the business period, each year can supply the market with hundreds of tons of fruit. According to Mr. Vo Duy Tin, Deputy Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Hoai An district, the chain of links will create a product that is similar in terms of fruit quality and quality. 19/4 Agriculture Cooperative will stand out to buy all products of farmers and sign contracts with businesses to sell the products. Mr. Tin said that the project on the chain of the 19/4 Agricultural Cooperative was built with a total investment of 25 billion VND, the heaviest cost was to build a preliminary processing house, cold storage to preserve products. warehouse and purchase cargo transport truck. This model is very necessary because in 1-2 years, the number of green pomelo areas to the business period in Hoai An district will grow very high. Up to now, the 19/4 Agricultural Cooperative has connected a focal point for product consumption with a business in Ben Tre. It is expected that, if successful, Hoai An pomelo can be exported to Europe and Korea.

Developing clean agriculture for urban service In Hoai An district, there is also Thanh Nien Agricultural Cooperative, linking the youth force of communes with farmers to buy clean agricultural products in the area. When associating with farmers, the cooperative will guide farmers to produce vegetables and fruits in the direction of clean agricultural products, then set up a stall selling clean agricultural products at the district center for consumption and for sale outside the province. In An Nhon Town (Binh Dinh), there are also many models of clean vegetable and organic vegetable production that are operating effectively in the direction of developing clean agriculture for urban areas in association with the project of restructuring the industry. local agriculture. For example, Yuuki Farm organic vegetable farm with Japanese technology by Mr. Trinh Hung Cong in Nhon Hau commune. Yuuki Farm is producing and trading clean vegetables, roots and fruits such as vegetables, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots … Every day, on average, Yuuki Farm sells about 100 kg of clean vegetables according to the order. of 2 kindergartens in Quy Nhon city with 7 points selling clean vegetables inside and outside the province. Every month, after deducting expenses, Cong’s farm gives a profit of about 60 million dong. Green-skin melon application of high technology in Agriculture Cooperative 2 Nhon Tho (An Nhon Town, Binh Dinh Province). Photo: Vu Dinh Thung. Also in Nhon Hau commune (An Nhon town), the project of producing organic vegetables in a net house of Kei’s Japan Joint Stock Company was born in 2016. Many varieties of vegetables such as lettuce, okra, cucumber, vegetables … were brought from Japan and cultivated according to Japanese technology on an area of ​​7,500 m2. As a result, local people have direct access to the way of making soil, fertilizing, and planting to produce clean and safe vegetables. Currently, every day Kei’s organic vegetable garden provides more than 100kg of vegetables, tubers and fruits to the market with prices ranging from 20,000 – 40,000 VND / kg. Mr. Duong Quan Sy, a farmer participating in the project, shared: Through the outreach process, the project participants now have a firm grasp of the cultivation techniques and the company also implements mineral products for the people, thanks That farmer’s income is also higher. “Grasping the needs of consumers, Nhon Tho Agricultural Cooperative 2 has turned to organic agriculture. Currently, the cooperative has planted 3.4 hectares of safe vegetables, tubers and fruits in the right direction. Focus on the use of manure and microbiological organic fertilizers derived from natural by-products. The entire vegetable growing area is covered with nets to limit weeds, fertilize according to the norm using the drip irrigation system with Israeli technology and the use of pesticides of biological origin, nanotechnology, ensuring time. cups during cultivation. Cooperatives also use insect nets, antifungal products composted with manure. The products of vegetables, melon, cucumber of the cooperative are trusted by consumers ”.

The smart rice transplanter that combines the functions of sowing, cultivating rice, fertilizing, and spraying pesticides has been applied at An Nhut Agricultural and Service Cooperative from 2019. LABOR REMUNERATION Over 15 years of growing pepper, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Phuong (Tan Hoa village, Bau Chinh commune, Chau Duc district) said that in the past, from tending to harvesting, he had to do it by hand. To water 2.5 ha of pepper, 2 labor takes 7-8 hours to complete. In 2017, he invested 40 million VND in installing a drip irrigation system. Mr. Phuong commented, compared to the traditional irrigation method, drip irrigation has many outstanding advantages such as: saving water, minimizing water loss, making the soil always fresh and porous; Saving water pump electricity and reducing labor. In addition, this irrigation system can also combine fertilizer, medicine and irrigation water through the drip tips. “From the day of installing the automatic watering system, every time I water the garden, I just turn on the circuit breaker, set the hour and go to other jobs. In addition to reducing labor, the automatic irrigation system also helps to save water. In the past, the average amount of watering was 300m3 / ha / time, since the application of drip irrigation has been reduced to 60m3 / ha ”, Mr. Phuong compared. In the rice fields of farmers in Phuoc Hoi, Lang Dai, Long Tan, Phuoc Long Tho communes (Dat Do district), the system of machines such as tillage and transportation machines, water pumps, combine harvesters, Harvesting in series, rice dryers appeared more and more, gradually replacing the labor force of farmers. Information from the Department of Agriculture of Dat Do district shows that more than 16,000 hectares of cultivated rice by farmers have used almost 100% machinery in the stages of soil preparation and harvesting. Mr. Nguyen Van Tam, an agricultural officer in Phuoc Long Tho commune, said that almost all stages of rice production in the locality have been mechanized. With the implementation of agricultural mechanization, when sowing sowing, there were plows and land-plowing machines, when the harvest time, there was a combine harvester to serve at the place. In addition to bringing about higher economic efficiency, the application of mechanization also solves one of the difficult stages of the agricultural sector today, which is the source of labor when only 1-2 operators and use are possible. work, help farmers reduce labor costs. CONTINUOUS SUPPORTING MACHINERY IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, at present, the province has more than 400 types of machines serving the mechanization of agricultural production, with the number of more than 105 thousand units. In which, machinery is concentrated mainly in stages such as soil preparation, irrigation, spraying of pesticides, transportation and fishing means. The stages of harvesting, preliminarily processing and preserving agricultural products currently only stop at a number of models of applying preliminary processing technology and preserving vegetables and fruits after harvest. The average level of mechanization of the stages in agricultural production such as: land preparation reaches 100%; 80% of care and spraying of plant protection products; the harvest stage reaches 40%; 30% drying stage. The application of agricultural mechanization has contributed to reducing labor, ensuring seasonality, increasing productivity, quality and reducing post-harvest losses. Mr. Vu Ngoc Dang, Deputy Director of the Rural Development Sub-Department (Department of Agriculture and Rural Development), said implementing the policy of developing household economy in agriculture and fisheries (Resolution 05/2018 / NQ-HDND) and policies to support equipment and materials for the development of cooperatives in the agricultural sector in the period of 2019-2020 (Resolution 39/2018 / NQ-HDND), up to now, the Sub-Department has supported more than 300 machines and equipment. serving production with more than 250 households / cooperatives operating in the agricultural sector such as sowing machines, burying fertilizers for An Nhut Agricultural and Service Cooperative; Package irrigation system, tillers, chain saws for Thai Duong Agricultural Cooperative … In the coming time, the Department will coordinate with localities to continue reviewing and making statistics on the number of machines and equipment; from there to build production plans towards focusing on developing plants and animals with strengths, competitiveness and in accordance with the province’s development planning. “For the project of agricultural mechanization and the application of post-harvest technology (under the Scheme on restructuring the agricultural sector of BR-VT province in the direction of increasing added value and sustainable development to 2020, vision to 2030), after being approved by the competent authority, the Sub-Department will coordinate with relevant departments and agencies to organize propaganda and mobilization of post-harvest agricultural mechanization through models, project points, seminars, seminars ”, Mr. Vu Ngoc Dang more information.

On June 13, 2016, the Provincial People’s Committee issued Official Letter No. 894 / UBND-TNMT on the improvement of agricultural land that has been assigned to households and individuals. Accordingly, the Provincial People’s Committee authorizes the People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities to grant permits to renovate agricultural land which has been assigned to households and individuals, in combination with full recovery of leveling land. According to incomplete reported data, the implementation of Official Letter No. 894 / UBND-TNMT of the Provincial People’s Committee and Official Letter No. 702 / STNMT-KS, dated April 20, 2017, Official Letter No. 752 / STNMT-KS, dated 26 -4-2017 of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (TN-MT) on the guidance of licensing procedures for the improvement of agricultural land assigned to households and individuals to combine land reclamation, to date, People’s Committees of districts, towns and cities have granted permits for about 200 cases. According to the general assessment of districts, towns, cities and households and individuals licensed to renovate agricultural land, this is a very right policy and popular with people when many problems have been solved. and contribute to promoting local socio-economic development. Therefore, the majority of households and individuals licensed to renovate agricultural land have coordinated with contracting units to perform the ground improvement combined with fully reclamation of leveling land in accordance with the plan, exploiting the right location and licensed area. After being licensed and conducting land improvement, many individual households have abandoned the improved land, did not implement the land recovery plan, planted trees for environmental restoration … according to regulations. Along with that, the fulfillment of financial obligations towards the State, such as: fees for granting mineral mining rights, environmental protection fees, royalties … are fully implemented by households in accordance with regulations. . Land reclamation is carried out from the actual needs of land users to facilitate production. The process of licensing for ground improvement in combination with salvaging land for reclamation has made good use of backfill resources to meet the national goal of building a new countryside (NTM), building infrastructure. floors, land fund creation and production development projects. This issue not only makes an important contribution to socio-economic development but also increases revenue for the local budget; At the same time, to limit the illegal exploitation of land and leveling … * There have been variable generals in implementation In addition to the above positive results, the reflection of voters to the press agencies and the inspection and examination of the authorities shows that: many of the following households and individuals When licensed by the competent authorities (usually these fully renovated land mines are only licensed for a period of 12 months-PV), this license has turned into a “talisman” called “land mine”. exploiting, and then actively exploiting minerals. In many cases, the exploitation exceeds the height, depth and reserves; There are even a few cases of “forgetting” the back ground work or in other words, after the mineral recovery did not comply with the original commitment dossier when applying for a license or having done it, it was just as follows. coping mode. Because the main purpose of the households, this individual is to take advantage of the policy to apply for permits and create a land improvement “cover” to sell land for profit. It is worth mentioning that, taking advantage of this policy, many households are licensed to reclaim land with full use of leveling land with the volume of hundreds of thousands of m3 / year. In particular, there is a situation that some households have taken advantage of exploiting the neighboring land areas even though they have not been licensed to gain illicit profits. The areas assessed as “hot” in the exploitation of landfill are the districts: Quang Trach, Bo Trach, Quang Ninh and Le Thuy. After that, the violations were detected by the People’s Committees of districts, towns, cities and functional agencies and strictly dealt with administrative violations. Specifically, many cases were fined for administrative violations with a fine of 45 million VND, forced to pay back the illicit profits from illegal land exploitation more than 100 million VND / case of violation; At the same time, the license granted. However, these violations have caused pollution, environmental degradation and changed land use purposes, significantly affecting the flora, leaving negative public opinion among the people. * It is necessary to seriously and effectively implement the direction of the Provincial People’s Committee Immediately detecting the above situation, in recent years, the provincial People’s Committee has issued many documents directing to strengthen the state management in exploiting land and leveling in the province. Mr. Phan Xuan Tuan, Head of the Department of Minerals (Department of Natural Resources and Environment), said that, in the face of this fact, to follow the instructions of the Provincial People’s Committee and to manage well the cases of licensing for ground improvement with full recovery of leveling land. Department of Natural Resources and Environment has also issued many documents to direct to districts, towns and cities. Documents of the Department suggest localities to strengthen and improve the quality of inspection, supervision and appraisal of documents to ensure that the land improvement does not cause major terrain distortions, environmental pollution and waste. resource fees for projects that allow ground improvement in combination with full recovery of land and leveling; strengthen inspection and supervision and take effective measures to promptly prevent and strictly handle violations. Special note, the renovation does not affect the safety of power lines, lakes, irrigation dams and other construction works. One point of land improvement with land salvage shows signs of environmental degradation and changes in land use purposes, significantly affecting the flora … The Department requires districts, cities, towns and communes to closely monitor the reserves allowed to be exploited, to improve and restore the environment and plant trees after harvesting, to avoid taking advantage of ground improvement to illegal mineral exploitation. In case of detecting a violation, it shall be strictly handled according to law provisions. Along with that, it is required that households and individuals that have been licensed to renovate agricultural land combined with fully reclaiming land and leveling will soon complete the project in accordance with the approved plan. In front of the direction of the Provincial People’s Committee and the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the leaders of the People’s Committees of Quang Trach, Bo Trach, Quang Ninh, Le Thuy districts … said that they continued to direct the specialized departments and the People’s Committees of communes to strengthen the state management of minerals with the inspection and supervision of the implementation of plans on ground improvement with full recovery of land and leveling by households and individuals in accordance with regulations; promptly detect and strictly handle violations; request households to exploit too deeply to allow leveling, planting trees to restore the environment in the exploited area; calculating retrospective collection of fees for granting mineral mining rights and related fees for households who illegally exploit land. For cases of serious violations, in addition to handling violations according to the provisions of law, a decision to revoke the granted license will also be issued.

Through the inspection and review of legal documents, approved project design documents and current construction status, the construction of the above works arises by the Ba Ria Fishing Port Management Board – Vung Tau is not in accordance with the guidelines allowed by the Provincial People’s Committee and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, not in accordance with the approved planning and design. Construction works on sea encroachment in contravention of approved planning at Ben Loi – Binh Chau estuary storm shelter area of ​​Xuyen Moc district. Ba Ria – Vung Tau fishing port management board allows people to arbitrarily build sea encroachment works, pour pillars on the embankment to protect the border to build, seriously affect the safety of the protective talus, possibly potential landslides, later subsidence, danger to ships, loss of aesthetics and affect the overall site of the project, causing frustration in public opinion. The management board of Ba Ria – Vung Tau province’s fishing port does not comply with the regulations on the commencement of the work to the local authority. At the meeting with the inspection team, at the time of signing the minutes, Mr. Ngo Thanh Liem, Director was absent. Mr. Le Hong Liem, Deputy Director was present and presented opinions to the delegation to write in the minutes but did not agree to sign the minutes, indicating the non-cooperation of leaders of Ba Ria – Vung Tau Fishing Port Management Board. with local authorities. Immediately after the report of the People’s Committee of Xuyen Moc district, on February 1, 2021, Mr. Tran Van Tuan, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ba Ria – Vung Tau province issued the document of express speed No. 1022 / UBND-VP on the inspection inspecting construction works in the storm shelter anchorage for fishing ships of Ben Loi – Binh Chau. Accordingly, the Provincial People’s Committee assigned the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to preside over and coordinate with the Department of Construction and the People’s Committee of Xuyen Moc district to inspect and handle. One of the wrongly planned constructions at Ben Loi – Binh Chau estuary, used for business purposes, was requested to be dismantled. On January 25, 2021, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development presided over and coordinated with the People’s Committee of Xuyen Moc district and relevant branches to organize the inspection. Thereby, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has concluded that the construction of works in the storm shelter anchorage for Ben Loi – Binh Chau fishing boat is not consistent with the master plan. The Provincial People’s Committee approves and requests the Provincial Fishing Port Management Board to stop construction and dismantle all construction items that are not in accordance with the planning, and return to the original state before February 28, 2021. . Through the inspection and supervision at the locality, the Provincial Fishing Port Management Board has stopped the construction of work items. However, up to now, the Fishing Port Management Board only dismantled 01 item of sea encroachment, built on the guard’s slope (area 8.2m x 15.5m = 80.6m2). The remaining construction items that are not in accordance with the remaining planning remain unchanged and have not been dismantled (the un-dismantled works include 12 items, an area of ​​about 1,869 square meters). The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Ba Ria – Vung Tau province has 3 times issued a document to the Provincial Fishing Port Management Board to urgently dismantle completely and return the original state of construction works. in accordance with the master plan of the site approved by the Provincial People’s Committee on the adjustment of the investment project to build storm shelter anchorage for fishing ships of Ben Loi – Binh Chau. For unknown reasons, until now, Ba Ria – Vung Tau Fishing Port Management Board still “defies” the instruction documents from the Provincial People’s Committee, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, has not carried out the dismantlement of the wrong builder here? Legal forums will continue to update developments regarding this incident.

On the afternoon of April 18, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan visited, worked and shared stories of modern farmers with leaders and reporters of the Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper’s Representative Office in the Mekong Delta region.

Once, we were forced to increase acreage, increase food production to ensure people’s living and have a surplus for export. Now the need of society is increasing, from eating well to eating well, eating clean and nutritious. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan visited, worked and shared stories of modern farmers with leaders and reporters of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper’s Representative Office in the Mekong Delta region. Photo: Hoang Vu. Therefore, the agricultural economy problem posed at present is not how much output is achieved, but the efficiency and investment efficiency. Farmers pocket how much profit from the cultivated area, the yield after each season. It is necessary to link and do cooperative economy to develop, to be able to turn quickly and promptly. In the past, we have made the master plan and investment in infrastructure, but with the Resolution 120 / NQ-CP of the Government on sustainable development of the Mekong Delta, it is necessary to have a detailed plan for each ecological sub-region. Agriculture. Many Vietnamese farmers are very good, very creative, they make many models that are not only suitable, favorable, but also very effective. Specialized, specialized and specialized newspapers Report to the Minister, Editor-in-Chief of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper Nguyen Ngoc Thach said that the predecessor of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper was Tac Dat newspaper, named by Uncle Ho and wrote the first issue. Up to now, the newspaper has undergone more than 75 years of development and growth. Editor-in-chief of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper Nguyen Ngoc Thach said that the predecessor of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper was Tac Dat newspaper, having spent more than 75 years of development and growth, becoming a specialized, specialized, specialized newspaper according to the report. multimedia direction.

There is currently a newspaper development plan for the period 2020-2025, with an orientation to 2030, to become a specialized, specialized, specialized newspaper in the direction of multimedia. Particularly, the representative office in the Mekong Delta region has an important mission to carry out information and propaganda tasks in key agricultural economic regions of the country. Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thang, Head of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper’s Representative Office in Mekong Delta, said: The Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper Representative Office in Mekong Delta has been established for 25 years. There are reporters in charge of provinces and resident journalists covering information of the whole region. Officials and reporters are born and raised in the delta, so they are knowledgeable about the locality and agriculture in the Mekong Delta. Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thang, Chief Representative of Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper in Mekong Delta, reported on the establishment and development of the Office. Photo: Hoang Vu. In 2016, the Representative Office of the Mekong Delta region was awarded the Certificate of Merit by the Prime Minister for outstanding achievements in communication and propaganda, actively contributing to agricultural production in the Mekong Delta.

Stemming from the research on the model combining agricultural production and solar power in 2018, the Green Innovation and Development Center (GreenID) continues to do field research to pilot the model in An Giang province. The selected place is the cultivated land of Mr. Chau Hon’s family, Khmer household in An Hoa hamlet (Chau Lang commune, Tri Ton). The model was implemented by GreenID and Climate Sense Co., Ltd. (Climate Sense) from May 2020, with the support of the Management Board of the Sustainable Energy Development Project in An Giang province, Department of Agriculture and Development. Tri Ton district rural area and Chau Lang Commune People’s Committee. The model is designed according to the standards of rooftop solar power installed on construction works, tree-growing houses and instructions of EVN (Vietnam Electricity) with a capacity of 45Kwp, installed on an area of ​​400m2. of Mr. Chau Hon’s family. The model is completed and the grid is connected in December 2020. To ensure the efficiency of the plants underneath, the solar panels are designed with the right spacing, to ensure the growth of the plant variety. This is considered the first model with tripartite cooperation (people, businesses and non-profit organizations). The benefit sharing mechanism is discussed, agreed and harmonized among the participants. Agricultural production and sub-system farming activities are calculated and tested as soon as the system is completed with a number of short-term crops to assess growth and economic efficiency of the system. paradigm. The solar model associates agricultural production with double efficiency According to GreenID, the profit from the model will be divided among the parties according to the proportion of capital contribution invested. The disbursement period for Climate Sense is in the first 10 years because Climate Sense capital is meant to support initial investment. After 10 years, the whole system will be handed over to GreenID and households for management and use. After 20 years, GreenID will hand over to households full ownership. This model is expected to bring many multilateral financial benefits to the participants and facilitate as well as a typical model to call for more investors to expand. Farmers are excited Since commissioning in early 2021, the power generation portion is monitored remotely on the phone application. As recorded, the sunniest day, the model produces about 246Kwh of electricity and the lowest is 43Kwh on the day. On average, the system produces 103 kWh of electricity per day (as of April 7, 2021). Every month, electricity will record the indexes and payout on the amount of electricity sold to the investor’s account. From January to March 2021, the project has sold more than 4,471 kWh of electricity, equivalent to over VND 22 million. In this joint venture model, all participants benefit from the project. All profits earned from the sale of electricity to EVN will be distributed to the parties to the investment according to the profit sharing structure agreed upon by the parties in the joint venture cooperation contract. Joining the model, Mr. Chau Hon’s family and the project planted some new crops to test new crops for research. From January to April 2021, the research team collaborated with the project team and farmers to experiment with water spinach and cucumber to calculate the suitability of plants under solar panels and compare them with planting. outside. In fact, plants in the shade under solar panels grow well because they retain moisture, avoid direct sunlight due to extremely sunny weather and improved farming techniques. “I planted cucumber from February to 2021, the plants grown in a greenhouse under the panels outperform the control field outside, the fruiting rate is quite stable. Currently, my family harvests more than 30kg of cucumber per day. The fruit has a nice design and is long, fresh and delicious, highly appreciated by customers ”- Mr. Chau Hon said excitedly. Deputy Director of Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Truong Kien Tho said that the combination of agricultural production and solar power is a new model, showing initial efficiency. “When looking at the pictures of the panels covering the agricultural land, many people think it is impossible to cultivate. However, when choosing suitable crops, productivity and quality are higher. In the same arid land, farmers can keep an income from farming while also earning a monthly electricity bill. This is a model that can help many farmers to escape poverty sustainably and get better-off ”- Mr. Tho assessed. The model of installing solar cells combining agricultural production below helps generate additional revenue from selling solar power, making the most of arable land to increase income, and reduce conflicts in use. use of land resources. Some crops benefit from increased coverage, resulting in higher yields and better product quality

Inauguration of a model combining agricultural production and solar power. The model will be deployed from May 2020, completed and connected to the grid in December 2020, exploiting electricity from the beginning of 2021. Solar power system with a capacity of 45kwp, installed on an area of ​​400m2, Below is a plant membrane house. Photovoltaic panels are designed with suitable spacing, ensuring the growth of plants. On average, the system produces 103kwh of electricity per day. From January to March 2021, the project has sold more than 4,471kwh of electricity, equivalent to more than VND 22 million. Underneath the panel system, farmers experimentally planted cucumbers. Cucumbers grown in the model had a higher fruiting rate than the outside control field. The fruits were long, beautiful, and the average fruit was harvested more than 30kg per day. Mr. Truong Kien Tho, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of An Giang province, said that this is the first model of combining agriculture – solar power with a tripartite cooperation between people, businesses and teams. non-profit organizations are conducted in An Giang. The model helps farmers have dual income sources, increases production efficiency in a sustainable direction. The positive test results have proved the suitability and feasibility for replication. Farmers grow cucumbers in a net house, with solar panels above. Delegates visit the model.

Mr. Giap Van Huan (on the right), Chang village, Viet Tien commune, planted Thai jackfruit in a net house with an inert iron frame.

According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Viet Yen district, from 2016 up to now, the district has been supported and invested more than 24.4 billion VND to build 116 mesh houses, high-tech agricultural production (CNC) film houses, each model is 1,000 m2 wide. In which, the Provincial People’s Committee supported 12,3 billion VND to build 40 models; the district supported people and cooperatives with 12.1 billion dong to build 76 models. Thereby, 100 net houses, membrane houses in Viet Tien commune, only Minh Tam General Agricultural Cooperative (referred to as Minh Tam Cooperative) has 30 houses to be built and put into use.

Despite a large investment, after a period of operation, most of the film houses, especially net houses, are ineffective. Currently, most of the net houses are left empty and torn. Many households voluntarily dismantle the steel frame and change the crop structure, wrong for the original purpose.

After the newspaper stated, the People’s Committee of Viet Yen district instructed the District Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to coordinate with the People’s Committee of Viet Tien commune to review and inspect the reality, invite Minh Tam Cooperative and the households to change the purpose of using net houses by themselves. job.

Mr. Ngo Xuan Trung, Vice Chairman of Viet Tien Commune People’s Committee, said on April 6 and April 14, the functions of the district and the commune People’s Committee invited representatives of Minh Tam Cooperative (the unit assigned by the District People’s Committee to be in charge of net houses, diaphragm houses in the area) and 9 households using net houses against the original commitment (in two villages of Chang and Ha) to the office to clarify the reasons for conversion and production orientation.

The torn net house area of ​​Minh Tam Cooperative has yet to be repaired.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Tu, Director of Minh Tam Cooperative, said that the reason for the rapid failure of the net is that the net house is not suitable for the sub-region here. Because this area often occurs strong winds that make the net quickly torn and torn. Minh Tam Cooperative as well as other households have invested in repairing, replacing but still ineffective. Due to the loss of intensive farming of vegetables (low selling price, crop failure …), farmers and cooperatives have changed crops.

At the working sessions, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Viet Yen district and the People’s Committee of Viet Tien commune requested Minh Tam Cooperative and the households to self-overcome, remove perennial trees, replant vegetables, tubers and fruits according to the original commitment. . The time to complete the remedy is before May 30, 2021.

The People’s Committee of Viet Tien commune also informs households participating in the project of building plastic houses and net houses in the area: If any household does not do this, they will be recorded in writing and sanctioned according to regulations. Households whose contracts have expired will be liquidated by the District Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the People’s Committee of Viet Tien Commune.

Requesting Minh Tam Cooperative to remove torn, damaged nets and cover new nets before April 10; cleaning roads, canals and ditches in the net house area before April 24, 2021; directing staff to regularly check, grasp and guide member households and associate with the cooperative to grow vegetables, tubers and fruits in net houses, not to leave empty land.

Up to this point, Minh Tam Cooperative has not recovered the torn nets, covered with new nets as directed. Because according to Ms. Tu: “If we cover the net, we have to spend about 900 million dong so the cooperative doesn’t have the money to do it”. Households also reported that they do not have the budget to stretch new nets and apply for changing land use purposes because they have invested a lot of money to plant perennial trees.

Households participating in the project voluntarily converting crops for the wrong purpose were invited to the office of the People’s Committee of Viet Tien commune to work in the afternoon of April 14.

Talking about this issue, Mr. Than Van Thuan, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Viet Yen district, said that the main reason leading to Minh Tam Cooperative and households participating in the net house project, the ineffective production is due to The cooperative has not yet built a preliminary processing area, cold storage for agricultural products, so the cooperative cannot sign production contracts with households and businesses (DN) for consumption.

To overcome this, the locality will soon request the Provincial People’s Committee to approve the planning of the preliminary processing zone, so that the district will have grounds to support the construction of this area. This is the basis for Minh Tam Cooperative to be eligible to sign production contracts with households and purchasing enterprises. Regarding net houses whose frame has been removed and the purpose of use changed, Mr. Thuan affirmed that he will give statistics, make records and strictly deal with it, requiring net owners to restore the status quo and grow vegetables and crops according to project. “We are determined to restore the efficiency of the greenhouse and net houses as soon as possible,” said Thuan.

The investment in building high-tech agricultural production zone is the right policy. However, the net houses and plastic houses are ineffective, some of them have changed their use purpose for a long time due to lack of management. Hopefully, local rights, cooperatives and people participating in the project will soon join hands to overcome, avoid wasting investment capital.

Exploiting the potentials and advantages available in the locality, the youth-owned cooperatives have really brought efficiency, created jobs and stable income, contributing to building a new countryside.

Graduating from the Intermediate School of Agriculture, Ms. Lo Thi Dung, of Thai ethnicity, from Tham Phe village, Muong Kim commune, Than Uyen district, Lai Chau province participated in the local delegation activities. Realizing that the water surface of the hydropower reservoir in the area is a great advantage, Ms. Dung has mobilized the young people in the village to contribute capital and borrow additional funds from the Central Youth Union to develop the model of cage culture.

Hua Na guava brand is an Ocop product and has a reputation inside and outside Lai Chau province, owned by union members and young people.

As the head of Tham Phé Cooperative, Ms. Lo Thi Dung shared that the biggest difficulty was initially capital to invest in production, then many young people in the village did not trust to take advantage of the lake’s water surface adopt fish. After 1 year of farming, the first fish cage was effective, so it was easier to mobilize young people. Up to now, the cooperative has mobilized more than 20 members to participate, with 12 cages of mausoleum, carp, etc.

“Our cooperative is supported with a capital source of 120 from the Central Youth Union and has repaired and remodeled houses and cages to serve the cooperative’s aquaculture activities. The cooperative looks forward to those years. Here, the Party and State are interested in and create conditions for the cooperative to access more preferential loans, so that the cooperative can expand further. , together with more developed cooperatives “- Ms. Lo Thi Dung said.

Youth union members and youth of Than Uyen district take the lead in the model of raising fish in cage on the hydroelectric lake bed.

Hua Na commune, Than Uyen district, Lai Chau province, the locality has advantages in land and soil suitable for many types of crops and livestock. From the initial model of guava, up to now, the young people in the commune have established more than 20 models of economic development such as fish farming, guava, strawberries, medicinal plants, and breeding cattle. Hua Na Cooperative is also a typical model of the collective economy of Lai Chau province, with the typical OCOP product “Hua Na guava”.

Mr. Do Van Tuan, Secretary of Hoi Na Youth Union, Than Uyen District, said: “The cooperative is managing 6 hectares of guava, about 5,000 square meters of strawberries and 5,000 square meters of medicinal plants. The past has created jobs for 20 to 25 local workers, especially for young people In the coming time, the commune union will also have many orientations for young people, such as progressing to travel abroad. ecological calendar, combining fruit tree areas in order to create output, create product branding “.

Fully exploiting the potentials and advantages of each locality, the commune authorities in Than Uyen district, Lai Chau province have oriented young people to start their business development, associated with building a new countryside. When young people start their business, they are all supported by the government in terms of land conditions and loans. From the area of ​​barren hills, bare land and immense hydroelectric lake-bed waters, the creativity of youth has created hundreds of effective economic models.

Mr. Do Manh Huan, Deputy Secretary of Than Uyen District Youth Union, said young people who set up a career have little experience, but their enthusiasm is redundant. They learn hard and are ready to stand up when they fail to achieve success. Up to now, Than Uyen Youth Union has established 7 cooperatives, providing jobs and stable income from 5 to 10 million VND per month for hundreds of workers who are ethnic minorities in the locality.

The youth-owned cooperatives in Than Uyen district have created jobs and stable incomes for hundreds of local workers.

Also according to Mr. Huan: “In the training activities related to start-ups and start-ups from the central government to the province, we all choose union members and young people to participate in training courses to improve their capacity in entrepreneurship. Every year, the district Youth Union organizes dialogues related to start-ups and business establishment and mobilizes the members and youths of the communes to participate.

Development models mainly focused on agriculture such as guava, fish cage, passion fruit. In the coming time, the District Youth Union will continue to accompany young people in starting a business, setting up a career, towards registering Ocop products “.

Economic development models in the form of linking cooperative members who are young people in Than Uyen have brought about practical results, with OCOP products branded “Youth Cooperatives”. The manufactured products are of high quality and safe for users and appear more and more in the market inside and outside the province. However, in order for economic models owned by young people to reach out, it is also necessary to have more incentives in terms of capital and chain of links in production and consumption of products./.

to step by step formulate many effective economic models, centralized agricultural production areas in the direction of goods, value chains linking people with enterprises.

Mr. Dang Ngoc Hoa’s family (San Que Dong village, Dong Ngu commune, Tien Yen district) changed inefficient rice area to growing fruit trees.

Mr. Dang Ngoc Hoa (San Que Dong village, Dong Ngu commune), is one of the people actively participating in the transformation of crop structure for economic development in the area. Previously, his family mainly cultivated over 5 sao of paddy field with rice and vegetable varieties, but the yield and yield were quite low, due to inadequate irrigation water. 4 years ago, having been facilitated by the commune to participate in training course on fruit growing, with knowledge and techniques learned, Mr. Hoa started to convert old rice and vegetable acreage to fruit tree cultivation. like: Na, orange …

Up to now, his family has more than 70 kernels and 40 oranges for harvesting. Mr. Hoa shared: By converting the cultivars suitable to soil, climate, so the plants grow and develop well, with high and stable fruit yields. Subtracting costs, each year my family has a revenue of hundreds of million dong, much higher than growing rice. From this background, my family continued to plant 50 more super-fruit jackfruit stumps, expected to be harvested in about 2 years …

Similarly, Mr. Nguyen Viet Phuong’s family (Tien Lang commune), is also one of the typical households, taking the lead in changing the structure of livestock in the commune. From small-scale chicken raising, he boldly invested in an integrated farming model combined with acacia plantation for wood.

Sanction and then ‘ignore’ for mistakes

Mr. Tran Van Nhung, living in hamlet 6, Tuy Lac village, Thuy Trieu commune, Thuy Nguyen district, accused Tran Van Thuan and his son Tran Van Thanh of buying land in hamlet 6, Tuy Lac village of Mr. Huan for speculation.

In the process of pouring land for building walls, Mr. Thuan and Mr. Thanh encroached on the drainage ditch of the whole village (500 households) with a total area of ​​95m2.

This incident happened for many years. Although Mr. Nhung repeatedly reported and complained to the Commune People’s Committee, the government did not resolve it, but even mobilized to withdraw the petition.

“Mr. Thuan’s family has encroached on the entire eastern drainage ditch of the whole hamlet with an area of ​​75 square meters, encroaching the southern lane with a width of 2 meters and a length of 10 meters. Every rain, the water cannot be drained, so it floods the whole village, the waste flows into people’s houses, affecting crops … ”, Mr. Nhung is annoyed.

On the other hand, Mr. Nhung also denounced that, from 2017 – 2018, the People’s Committee of Thuy Trieu commune ignored Mr. Thuan’s family to pour stone bricks and tender lime into the rice fields that had been bought from the people and built factories and buildings. try on farmland thousands of square meters.

Regarding this, according to PV’s research, from April 2010 to June 2010, the People’s Committee of Thuy Trieu commune has issued a decision to sanction an administrative violation against Mr. Thuan’s household in the illegal construction area 924m2. with the amount of 2 million VND, then ‘shut up’ until now, while the factory continues to exist and operate on agricultural land.

Regarding this issue, Mr. Le Van Khuong, Chairman of Thuy Trieu Commune People’s Committee, said that the content of Mr. Denunciations is grounded, the incident happened a long time ago, is the result of the past, if the Early complaints may have been resolved.

“When building the wall of the above land lot, Mr. Thuan encroached on the 3-way drainage ditch 2m north, 2m south and 40cm east with an encroachment area of ​​52 m2, and Mr. Thuan’s factory built on land. The actual inspection of agriculture is nearly 1,000 square meters. Currently, the district has directed the inspection and treatment, ”said Mr. Khuong.

Serial error

Since the wrongdoing is not completely handled, up to now, in the area of ​​hamlet 6, Tuy Lac village, Thuy Trieu commune, in addition to Mr. Thuan’s mistake, the People’s Committee of Thuy Trieu commune continues to detect a number of other households also encroaching. thousands of square meters of agricultural land.

For example, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Rum’s household and some other households built, gardened on agricultural land 828m2; Mr. Le Van Ngan’s household built on agricultural land, 445m2; household of Mr. Tran Van Hung illegally building on agricultural land is 270m2 …

In these cases, some households have committed violations for a long time, some households are still in violation, however, Mr. Le Van Khuong – Chairman of Thuy Trieu Commune People’s Committee affirms that local authorities have just grasped, still Mr. Thuan’s violation is the “past” to leave.

“The process of checking and verifying his complaint But we recently discovered a number of other households in hamlet 6, also violated, we asked the households to dismantle the violated works and return it. premises according to regulations. However, if the project is built before July 1, 2014, it may not be dismantled, ”said Khuong.

According to PV’s research, in addition to signs of letting go of management and ‘ignoring’ the wrongdoing that existed in the area for many years, in 2001, the People’s Committee of Thuy Trieu commune granted authorized bond land to 6 households in the area. pond area of ​​Tuy Lac village, of which there is 1 land lot currently being used by Mr. Van Thuan.

Up to now, although nearly 20 years have passed, the case has not been resolved completely, although the people have fulfilled their financial obligations to the state, the commune has collected land but not paid to the budget and 6 households. has not been granted a land use right certificate.

The question is, why are thousands of square meters of rice cultivated land encroached upon, used for the wrong purpose in a long time but not discovered, in the case that the local government was found not to be completely dealt with. .

On the other hand, the violation happened on a large scale, quite clearly, but the local authorities only verified and handled them when there were recommendations from the people, causing frustration in public opinion.

However, in order to achieve the growth target of 4.2% for the whole year 2021, the Capital’s agricultural sector is making efforts to implement many solutions, in which focusing on building models of linking production – consumption of agricultural products.

Strive to achieve the goal 4.2% growth
Explaining the reason for the growth rate of 2.51% in the first quarter of 2021 (compared with the same period of 2020, it is negative 1.17%), Director of Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Chu Phu My said that in the first months of the year, the details are relatively favorable for agricultural production. “The increase in poultry herds, the increase in the area of ​​vegetables and fruit trees has helped the Hanoi agricultural market to be stable, not under much pressure from the Covid-19 epidemic. On the other hand, good disease control and concentrated pig herd re-focus also contribute significantly to the growth of the industry. Specifically, the herd of pigs increased by 18.2%, poultry increased by 5.4%, aquatic production increased by 2.9% compared to the first quarter of 2020 “- Mr. Chu Phu My analyzed.

For example, in Dong Anh district, in the Spring crop of 2021, the whole district cultivated 866ha of all kinds, an increase of 10ha compared to the Spring crop in 2020, focusing on high-value leafy vegetables; At the same time, to increase herd and re-herd of pigs, chickens, buffaloes, cows and poultry. Up to now, the district’s pig herd has reached over 43,400 heads, an increase of 12% over the same period last year.
However, the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development also warned of barriers to the growth target of 4.2% this year. That is, the epidemic situation in livestock and poultry is still complicated, especially the African swine fever, while there are not many slaughterhouses in the city that focus on ensuring safety and protection. food birth. On the other hand, raw material prices for animal feed still tend to increase; Inadequacies in policies to encourage enterprises to invest in agriculture and rural areas have not been basically removed. Production using high technology, linking in chains, increasing the rate of product processing is still limited.
Synchronize many solutions
In order to promote the strong growth of the agricultural sector in the coming time, enterprises and cooperatives must actively follow the consumption market. At the same time, to continue to build and promote effectively active production – consumption models. From a business perspective, the director of An Viet Group Joint Stock Company Do Hoang Thach shared that the company will give priority to building a plan to supply agricultural products to link production – consumption with farmers and cooperatives in the context of The market scene is forecasted to continue to have many fluctuations due to the impact of the epidemic.
Currently, in addition to focusing on taking care of the Spring crop, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Hanoi is cooperating with localities to plan the Winter crop, suitable for the production situation and market demand. At the same time, to strengthen the building of models for linking production – product consumption, focusing on converting the plant variety structure in the production of rice and short-term vegetables; to expand the production area of ​​flowers and ornamental plants with high economic efficiency.
In the livestock sector, according to the Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Huy Dang, along with supporting businesses and cooperatives to develop a closed livestock chain, the Department will focus on building link chain models and supply chain point, in which cooperatives, manufacturing, processing and consuming enterprises are at the forefront. In addition, the Department will pilot a number of key livestock communes to become disease-free facilities to develop disease-free zones. On the other hand, continue to convert inefficient rice-cultivated low-lying fields in some localities to aquaculture models applying new technology.

“Along with accompanying businesses and cooperatives to develop the chain of production – consumption of agricultural products, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development coordinates with the Department of Industry and Trade of Hanoi to develop a plan to ensure the supply of raw materials for the product. export. ” – Director of Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Chu Phu My

Selling villas without changing land use purpose

On December 2, 2016, Binh Phuoc Provincial People’s Committee issued Decision 3129 / QD-UBND approving Thanh Vinh Company to invest in Tan Thien residential project (also known as Dovillas Villa Village) with an area of ​​28,000m2, including 7 land plots of the household of Mr. Vo Thanh Vinh (Director of Thanh Vinh Company). Next, on April 28, 2017, Binh Phuoc Provincial People’s Committee issued Decision 1041 / QD-UBND approving the detailed construction planning project of 1/500 scale for more than 26,000 square meters of the project.

On May 30, 2018, the Department of Planning and Investment of Binh Phuoc Province issued a decision 905 / QD-SKHD to extend construction investment progress. Accordingly, from July 2016 to October 2018, the project must change the purpose of using agricultural land to residential land about 4,500 square meters, and build infrastructure; May 8-2019, completed the change of land use purpose of about 4.956m2 and from September 2016 come into operation.

Present at the Dovillas villa area in early April, we were quite surprised about the progress of the project “cow turtle”. The road to the villa village and some land plots were sold to other people by the investor, the new land owner fenced off and lost the path so he had to enter from the back gate. On the left side is a series of land plots, but only 2 completed villas have been sold to customers; other ground lots, new with foundations and pillars fenced with barbed wire. There is a quite large villa in the middle which is being completed but due to lack of capital, construction has been stopped. The swimming pool is dry, the water pipes are sprawled, the grass is overgrown in many areas, the project’s items are “stationary”.

Many unfinished villas at the Villa Dovillas Village project due to lack of capital

According to an investigation by PV Newspaper SGGP, although the project has not completed the legal basis such as land and land consolidation, has not fulfilled the financial obligations on land use rights as prescribed, but Thanh Vinh Company has sold. for many people.

Specifically, on June 26, 2018, Mr. Vo Thanh Vinh sold to Mr. NXV (SN 1995, living in Binh Thanh district, HCMC) 15 Tai Loc villas. Mr. Vinh received 26 billion VND and committed on December 26, 2018 to hand over. After that, Mr. V. discovered that Mr. Vinh did not go to the land of the purchased land and did not hand over the villa as committed.

Mr. V. said: “Mr. Vinh tricked me to buy a villa, but did not hand over it. Due to the discovery that Mr. Vinh was cheating, did not go to live and fulfill financial obligations, change the purpose of land use, so I did not continue to pay. The company is no longer able to build projects and fulfill financial obligations regarding land use rights. Mr. Vinh also did not pay me.

Not only that, Mr. Vinh also used the floor of Tai Loc villa (lots No. 28,29,30,31,32) to sell to Mr. V. as a mortgage for Mrs. Đ.TTL 5.2 billion VND on December 16- 2019; bringing 2 land plots of 849.5m2 and 60.4 m2 as a road to transfer to Mrs. NTMN (living in Tan Phu ward, Dong Xoai city). Mrs. N. has fenced off 2 plots of land, so there is no path to the project.

Binh Phuoc Provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment admitted, Thanh Vinh Company was approved by the People’s Committee of Binh Phuoc province to invest in a residential area project and approved a detailed planning 1/500, but the company has not set up procedures for land allocation. , land lease and change of land use purpose built residential infrastructure projects, transferred to households should have been administratively sanctioned in Decision No. 01 / QD-XPVPHC dated 3-1- 2020.

Deceive many customers

Currently, many customers are “sitting on the fire” for tens of billions of dong to invest in the project, difficult to recover capital. Specifically, in 2017, Ms. NTB (SN 1970, living in Dong Xoai city) was advertised by Mr. Vinh, the Dovillas Villa Village project was legal but did not have enough construction capital and needed advance payment from the buyer. Believe it, Mrs. B. bought 3 villas and handed Mr. Vinh 10 billion dong, but by appointment Mr. Vinh did not hand over the villa as committed. Mrs. B. repeatedly asked for money, but Mr. Vinh used enough reasons to avoid paying debts. Therefore, Ms. B. sued the People’s Court of Dong Xoai City asking Mr. Vinh to pay more than 16 billion VND, including principal and interest, overdue.

Thanh Vinh Company also cannot afford to pay the construction unit. According to the contract, Phan Gia Nguyen Construction-Trading Co., Ltd deployed the construction of the work items in the project, the parties agreed to pay in 4 installments, the amount of more than 15.8 billion VND, but Mr. Vinh only paid 300 million and more than 15.5 billion in debt. On January 7, 2020, Dong Xoai City Civil Judgment Execution Department decided to execute the judgment on this debt, but up to now, Thanh Vinh Company has not yet paid the debt.

Apparently, Thanh Vinh Company took advantage of the investment policy of the Provincial People’s Committee to deceive many customers to buy villas. After receiving the money, the company does not proceed to consolidate the land, settle the land, fulfill financial obligations to the State and hand over the villa as committed. Recently, Binh Phuoc Provincial Department of Planning and Investment has issued official letter No. 562 / SKHĐT-ĐKKD requesting Thanh Vinh Company to implement the contents according to TBKL No. 120 / TB-UBND dated 9-3-2021 of the Provincial People’s Committee.

As a rule, the investment policy of the Dovillas Villa Village project must be withdrawn because of the delay of more than 24 months and the failure to fully comply with the legal, illegal transfer, causing insecurity in the area. However, in order to create conditions for businesses to have time to overcome them, the Department requests Thanh Vinh Company to honestly report on the project implementation process and related civil transactions, to prepare documents to reduce the area. disputed land removed from the project… within 15 days.
