On the afternoon of June 15, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision 1578/QD-BCT, applying anti-dumping tax and anti-subsidy tax on a number of cane sugar products originating from the Kingdom of Thailand. Specifically, imported sugar cane under HS codes 1701.13.00, 1701.14.00, 1701.99.10, 1701.99.90, 1702.90.91 will be subject to an official anti-dumping tax of 42.99% and an anti-dumping duty rate. the official subsidy is 4.65%. These two taxes are additional import taxes, applied to imported sugar cane originating from Thailand, including imports under tariff quotas. This decision has a term of 5 years, effective from June 16, Before that, the final investigation conclusion of the investigating agency determined that some Thai sugarcane products had dumping behavior, subsidized imports of the goods under investigation; The domestic industry is suffering significant injury and there is a causal relationship between the imports of the dumped and subsidized goods and the substantial injury to the domestic industry. In order to have a basis for determining the origin of imported goods subject to the application of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy tax, the customs authority will check the documents certifying the origin of goods, including: origin of goods (C/O), or proof of origin in accordance with the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, the Free Trade Agreement between Vietnam and EU (EVFTA), UKVFTA… Previously, on May 12, the Trade Remedies Administration (Ministry of Industry and Trade) held a public consultation (online form) with the participation of 80 delegates representing groups of stakeholders including: Governments, businesses, associations of Thailand and Vietnam. At the consultation, a representative of the domestic industry said that the Thai sugar industry is supported by the Government from controlling the domestic market (supporting fixed prices, dividing market shares), controlling imports, export subsidies, direct financial support of 1.3 billion USD/year, debt financing, input subsidies, so when entering Vietnam, it caused serious damage to the industry, so it is recommended to impose taxes. Pursuant to the provisions of the Law on Foreign Trade Management, on September 21, 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Decision No. 2466/QD-BCT on the initiation of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation on cane sugar with originating from Thailand on the basis of the application dossier of the representative of the domestic industry. Implementing Vietnam’s commitments in ASEAN regarding the application of tariff quotas under the WTO, Vietnam has abolished tariff quotas on sugar imports for ASEAN countries since January 1, 2020. In the first eight months of 2020, the amount of cane sugar imported into Vietnam increased dramatically, reaching nearly 950,000 tons, an increase of more than 6 times over the same period in 2019. In which, the amount of cane sugar imported from Thailand into Vietnam accounting for a major proportion, reaching nearly 860,000 tons (compared to the same period in 2019 it was 145,000 tons and the whole year 2019 was 300,000 tons). According to a representative of the domestic industry, the sudden increase in imports is the main cause of damage to the domestic sugar industry. The domestic production of cane sugar in the 2019-2020 crop year is estimated at less than 800,000 tons, down from 1.2 million tons in the 2018-2019 crop year. In addition, the domestic industry has also provided information and evidence that cane sugar products imported from Thailand are being dumped into Vietnam and the Thai Government has been maintaining some subsidy policy for sugarcane farming activities of farmers and the sugar industry.

In which, the total import-export value of enterprises with foreign direct investment (FDI) reached 182.81 billion USD, up 38.2% (equivalent to 50.56 billion USD); the import-export value of domestic enterprises was 79.93 billion USD, up 24.5% (equivalent to 15.71 billion USD) over the same period last year. In the 2nd period of May, 2021, the trade balance of goods has a deficit of 129 million USD. Generally, in the 5 months of 2021, the trade balance will have a deficit of 473 million USD. Illustration/nhandan.vn Regarding exports: The total value of Vietnam’s exports in the 2nd period of May, 2021 reached US$ 14.28 billion, up 20.1% (equivalent to an increase of US$ 2.39 billion in absolute terms) compared to the same period last year. May 1, 2021. The export value of the second period of May, 2021, fluctuated and increased compared to the period of May 1, 2021 in the following commodity groups: Textile and garment increased by USD 303 million; iron and steel of all kinds increased by 199 million USD; machinery, equipment, tools and spare parts increased by 185 million USD; footwear of all kinds increased by $182 million… Thus, in the first 5 months of 2021, the total export value of Vietnam reached 131.13 billion USD, an increase of 30.9%, equivalent to an increase of 30.96 billion USD over the same period in 2020. Statistics of the General Department of Customs also show that the export value of goods of foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises in the 2nd period of May, 2021 reached 10.15 billion USD, up 16 6%, equivalent to an increase of $ 1.44 billion compared to the first period of the month, thereby bringing the total export value of goods from the beginning of the year to the end of May 2021 of this group of enterprises to $ 97.20 billion, an increase 36.7% (equivalent to an increase of 26.08 billion USD) over the same period last year, accounting for 74.1% of the total export value of the country. Regarding imports: The total value of imported goods of Vietnam in the 2nd period of May, 2021 reached 14.41 billion USD, an increase of 4.3% (equivalent to an increase of 594 million USD in absolute number) compared to the actual result. in the first half of May 2021. Import value of goods in the 2nd period of May 5-2021 increased compared to the previous period 1 mainly in a number of commodity groups: Computers, electronic products and components increased by 168 million USD; crude oil increased by 132 million USD; Ore and other minerals increased by 126 million USD… Thus, in the first 5 months of 2021, the total import value of the whole country reached 131.6 billion USD, up 36.7% (equivalent to 35.3 billion USD) over the same period in 2020. Import value of goods by FDI enterprises in this period reached US$9.1 billion, a slight increase of 2.6% (equivalent to an increase of US$232 million) compared to the first period of May 2021. Calculated in the 5 months of 2021, the total import value of this group of enterprises reached 85.61 billion USD, up 40% (equivalent to 24.47 billion USD) over the same period last year, accounting for 65% of the total import value. import value of the country.

A representative of the Trade Remedies Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) said that the investigation and application of trade remedies, specifically the application of anti-dumping and anti-dumping measures on a number of cane sugar products originating from Thailand imported from Thailand. imported into Vietnam, has been implemented by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in accordance with the provisions of the law on foreign trade management, as well as in accordance with international practices, based on objective and verifiable grounds and evidence. real. After more than 5 months of investigation (since September 2020), based on the investigation results, and before making the final conclusion of the case, on May 12, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Trade held a meeting hold a consultation session to listen to the opinions of all interested parties. The final conclusion of the Investigation Agency of the case, determined that there was an act of dumping and subsidizing the imported goods under investigation (cane sugar products originating from Thailand), causing significant damage to the domestic manufacturing industry; there is a causal relationship between imports of dumped and subsidized goods and substantial injury to the domestic industry. On that basis, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has decided to impose an official anti-dumping tax of 42.99% and an official financial tax of 4.65%. Anti-dumping tax, CTC is an additional import tax, applied to imported cane sugar originating from Thailand, including imports under tariff quotas. The time limit for application of anti-dumping tax and financial tax is officially 05 years from the date on which the decision on application of anti-dumping tax and financial tax officially takes effect (unless it is changed or extended according to another decision of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. ). Illustration Regarding the application of anti-dumping and anti-dumping duties, effective retroactively, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said, based on the final investigation conclusions and data of the General Department of Customs on the import situation of investigated goods. The Ministry of Industry and Trade determined that there was no sudden increase in the volume or quantity of dumped and subsidized goods entering Vietnam in the period from the time the investigation was conducted until the application of the CBGP tax. and temporary CTC. Therefore, there is not enough basis to apply anti-dumping and anti-dumping measures taken effect in advance according to Clause 4, Article 81 and Clause 4, Article 89, Law on Foreign Trade Management. In order to have a basis for determining the origin of imported goods subject to anti-dumping tax and CTC, according to Decision 1578/QD-BCT, the customs authority will check the documents certifying the origin of goods. , including: Certificate of Origin (C/O); documents certifying the origin of goods in accordance with the provisions of the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement, the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement, and the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement. Free Trade Vietnam – United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Accordingly, if the customs declarant submits documents certifying the origin of goods from a country or territory other than the Kingdom of Thailand, the official anti-dumping tax and CTC is not required. If the customs declarant submits proof of origin from the Kingdom of Thailand or fails to submit the proof of origin, the official anti-dumping tax and CTC as mentioned above (anti-dumping tax is 42.99%, CTC tax is 4.65%). The Ministry of Industry and Trade also said that in case the anti-dumping tax and the official CTC are lower than the provisional anti-corruption tax and the provisional CTC (the tax rate is temporarily applied when there is no final investigation conclusion and the official tax is imposed). This tax difference will be refunded. Pursuant to current legal regulations, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the investigating agency will notify the receipt of application for exemption after the Ministry of Industry and Trade issues a decision to apply trade remedies. A quick information to the reporter of the Industry and Trade Newspaper right after learning that the Ministry of Industry and Trade officially applied anti-dumping tax and CTC tax on imported sugar originating from Thailand, a leader of the Vietnam Sugar Association, said. : The Vietnam Sugar Association is quite satisfied with Decision 1578/QD-BCT of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. This is a timely decision, which will make an important contribution to support the development of Vietnam’s sugar industry, when in the context of integration, the sugar industry has faced great challenges due to the unfair competition of the sugar industry. imported sugar (mainly imported from Thailand) due to subsidies, dumping, and smuggling into the Vietnamese market. Compared with the previous decision to impose anti-dumping tax and temporary CTC, the official anti-dumping tax and CTC also eliminated the difference between raw sugar and refined sugar.

Ho Chi Minh City can now actively source, buy and import Covid-19 vaccines (Artwork). On June 15, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam agreed with the proposal of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City on the purchase and import of Covid-19 vaccine. At the same time, the Deputy Prime Minister asked the organization, implementation and communication to avoid the situation of buying and pushing up vaccine prices. Regarding the implementation of vaccination against Covid-19, the Government has issued Resolution No. 21/NQ-CP dated February 26, which contains content on encouraging eligible units to organize voluntary vaccination for children. requested organizations and individuals.

27P53 hybrid rice model in Thanh Chuong, Nghe An. Pioneer (now Corteva Agriscience) has pioneered in investment, research and development of new generation 3-line hybrid rice varieties. By applying scientific and technological advances, especially molecular biotechnology, successfully hybridized and commercialized the rice variety PHB71, which is one of the first high-quality hybrid rice varieties that retains high yield. planted in Vietnam in 2010. The year 2019 marks a new turning point in the research, introduction, selection and development of 3-line hybrid rice, when Corteva Agriscience launched the 27P53 rice variety. This is a new generation 3-line hybrid rice that has been evaluated by the Scientific Council for Seed Recognition of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as a rice variety with outstanding yield and quality, wide adaptability, good resistance to pests and diseases and adverse external conditions. The variety was officially recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in October 2019. The 27P53 variety has a short TGST, only from 120-125 days in the spring crop, 100-105 days in the summer-autumn crop and the Mekong Delta. After the 27P53 rice variety was officially recognized, farmers in the rice growing areas received and planted it on a large scale throughout the provinces of Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Yen Bai, Cao Bang, Dak Lak… bringing high economic efficiency. . Farmer Luu Xuan Bay, Phu Thanh commune, Yen Thanh, Nghe An, shared: “Through the practice of 3 production seasons, the 27P53 rice variety is easy to sow, the seeds germinate well, the seedling has good cold tolerance, and the tillering is healthy. and concentrated, less ineffective, resistant to pests and diseases. Especially, rice variety 27P53 has outstanding resistance to falling, high yield from 8-9 tons/ha, high quality rice and rice. The rice grain is long, less white, clear, and the rice is soft, and when cooled, the rice still retains its original softness, this is the best hybrid rice variety that I have ever grown. Model of a large sample field (65.67 ha) spring 2021 crop in Yen Thanh, Nghe An. According to Mr. Nguyen Tien Duc, Director of Nghe An Plantation and Plant Protection Sub-Department: “Nghe An is a large hybrid rice growing province with more than 40,000 ha/year. The presence of good varieties such as 27P53 is of great significance to the locality because some varieties have not kept their original stability.” Present in Vietnam since 1995, Corteva Agriscience always strives not only to provide innovative and sustainable solutions but also to improve the quality of life of the community. The introduction of 3-line hybrid rice varieties such as 27P31, 27P53 into production contributes to helping farmers increase productivity, quality and economic efficiency from rice cultivation. “With more than 200 years of expertise and experience in the field of agriculture, as well as for the past 25 years with Vietnam Agriculture, Corteva Agriscience is committed to continuing to accompany Vietnamese farmers”, Mr. Ngo Lanh, Sales Director Corteva Agriscience Vietnam shared. Corteva Agrisciences is a merger of 3 companies Dow AgroSciences, DuPont Crop Protection & DuPont Pioneer with the goal of becoming an independent agricultural company leading in seed technology, pesticides and digital agriculture, helping to maximize optimize farmers’ productivity as well as build a sustainable agriculture globally. DuPont Crop Protection was founded in 1802, Dow AgroSciences was founded in 1897 and Pioneer was founded in 1926. Over the past 200 years, the three companies have provided groundbreaking, sustainable solutions in control. insects, weeds, pests and diseases, and pioneering the research and development of hybrid rice and maize hybrids that help farmers improve yields and crop quality worldwide. 2018 marked a turning point in the history of the global agricultural industry when 3 companies completed the merger to officially operate under the name Corteva Agriscience.

In April 2021, the Prime Minister issued a document assigning the Ministry of Science and Technology to assume the prime responsibility for, and coordinate with the Ministry of Industry and Trade in, soon finalizing and promulgating national technical regulations on gasoline, diesel fuel, and biofuel corresponding to emission standards at level 5. The Ministry of Industry and Trade is responsible for directing petrol and oil suppliers to have a plan to supply gasoline and diesel at level 5 to ensure that they meet demand for use and are in sync with the application roadmap. emission standards level 5. According to the Vietnam Register, with this regulation, the Euro 5 emission standard only applies to new cars when the vehicle type approval certificate is issued. The emission test method for new vehicles is carried out in a dedicated laboratory. Euro 5 emissions do not apply when periodically checking with cars in circulation. For cars in circulation, the emission standards are applied according to the rapid test method at the registration facilities according to the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 16 on the roadmap for applying emission standards of cars participating in traffic and automobiles. Imported used. This standard stipulates that cars with gasoline and diesel engines manufactured after 2008 will apply the level 2 emission standard from January 1, 2020. Thus, raising the automobile emission standard from level 4 (in 2017) to level 5 in January 2022, Vietnam becomes one of the top countries in ASEAN in terms of controlling emissions that have an impact on the environment. In addition, the improvement of automobile emission standards will reduce the cost of disaster recovery due to the greenhouse effect and the cost of medical examination and treatment for the community.

Standing Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh inspects the disease prevention and control at Kim Garment Organ Co., Ltd in Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone (Ho Chi Minh City). This is the conclusion made after Standing Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh had an inspection of Covid-19 epidemic prevention and control in Ho Chi Minh City and Military Region 7 from May 30 to January 1. 6-2021. The Standing Deputy Prime Minister also directed the Ministry of Health to develop a circular guiding, mechanism and open policy for localities and businesses to find sources to sign contracts to import and transfer technology to produce Covid-19 vaccines. -19. According to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee in Ho Chi Minh City, as of June 5, the city has received commitments from many individuals, organizations and businesses to support the purchase of Covid-19 vaccines. with a total amount of nearly 2,100 billion VND. Meanwhile, the Department of Health of Ho Chi Minh City has implemented the 3rd phase of Covid-19 vaccination from the vaccine distributed by the Ministry of Health. According to the plan, the organization of vaccination against Covid-19 1st and 2nd in the 3rd phase in Ho Chi Minh City will be completed on July 10; Complete vaccination before August 15 at the request of the Ministry of Health. Accordingly, the city continues to inject the second dose for those who have received the first injection if eligible. Continue to vaccinate people working at public and non-public health facilities in the city, hotels directly participating in isolation, and newly deployed isolation areas of the city. Ho Chi Minh City will complete the third phase of Covid-19 vaccination on July 10. In these cases, there were also a group of students from medical schools who volunteered to support the health sector in epidemic prevention and control; a group of people providing essential services, in which priority is given to the group of employees working at the airport (those who are in direct contact with flight crew, passengers, cargo, service staff, working in home shops). gas); group of people working at seaports (persons in direct contact with seafarers, cargo, ships); members of steering committees for disease prevention and control at all levels (cities, districts, districts, wards, communes, townships); group of patients with underlying medical conditions under inpatient treatment aged 65 years or younger (chronic kidney disease, diabetes…). According to the Department of Health of Ho Chi Minh City, it is expected that about 54,591 people will receive the second injection and 17,209 people will receive the first injection.

Dr. Le Hung Phong – Director of the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice (Institute of Food and Food Plants) – with a new generation of hybrid rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Advantages and disadvantages of domestic hybrid rice Dr. Le Hung Phong – Director of the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice (Institute of Food Plants and Food Plants), who was black because of sunburn, just led me to visit the new generation hybrids mentioned. When he was a student at the University of Agriculture I, he himself chose to be a rice breeder, and his graduation thesis was also about hybrid rice, guided by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Tram. She advised: “If you like this job, then go to the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice.” At that time, this unit was just established in 1994. Until now this is still the only research center in this field. According to Mr. Phong, if the southern part of the breed is mainly from the IRRI International Rice Research Institute, the northern part is mainly from China, both hybrid and pure. Research on hybrid rice in our country can be divided into several stages: From 1995 to 2000, we basically researched and perfected and mastered the technology of F1 seed production and production of parental lines imported from China. Country. From 2000 – 2010 mainly use the available Chinese mother line to cross with his father’s line. Therefore, the hybrid advantage in yield as well as quality of the domestic variety cannot exceed that of the imported Chinese variety. From there, we oriented, in addition to using imported materials from that source, to improve and introduce sterility genes, restore genes, and create new Vietnamese parent materials. In the period of 2011 – 2015, University of Agriculture I (now the Vietnam Academy of Agriculture) and the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice under the Vietnam Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology (now part of the Food Crop Institute). food plants) has created parent lines with its own orientation such as E15S, T6S, AMS35S, D116S, AMS211A,14A… These are the mother lines of some quality Vietnamese hybrid rice varieties such as HQ19, Aromatic hybrid 6, HYT124… In the basic spring crop, we use Chinese hybrid rice varieties because they have more advantages in yield and shape, but the main crop uses two-line hybrid rice varieties produced in the country because of the short growing time, better resistance to pests and diseases, better quality. Currently, the quality of imported hybrid rice varieties is getting better and better, such as: Thai Xuyen 111; Ly2099; LP1601… Besides, we have also successfully chosen to create quality two-line hybrid rice varieties that can grow two crops in a year such as HQ19, Hybrid Aroma 6, HYT124, MCH2… Close-up of new hybrid rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. The general orientation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is to select hybrid rice varieties that are resistant to pests and diseases, improve quality, and respond to climate change. Indeed, we also have success in breeding such as having parental lines for quality breeding, transferring genes for resistance to pests and diseases. So far, we have varieties that can be said to be of equal quality to the best imported hybrid rice today, Thai Xuyen 111 (sometimes selling up to 150,000 VND/kg), for example, two-line hybrid rice HQ19, HYT124, Hybrid aromatic 6, MCH2… with a selling price of 100,000 – 120,000 VND/kg, some promising three-line hybrid rice varieties, such as HYT325, HYT315, with rice seeds over 7mm long, clear rice, amylose content 16-18%, fragrant rice. However, one of the weaknesses of the domestic varieties is that the shape in the field is not as eye-catching as the Chinese hybrid rice varieties because they have technologies and genetic resources that not only create high yields, The quality and shape are still very nice… We have created our own parent lines from Chinese materials, unfortunately, we have not effectively exploited the male sterility genes from native rice and domestic wild rice. Select varieties in the direction of rice for export According to Mr. Phong, recently, the hybrid rice market has gone down because of the competition of high-quality pure rice, especially in the Red River Delta provinces. In addition, due to industrialization and urbanization, the area of ​​rice cultivation has decreased, the demand for food is not large, the price of imported seeds is high, and the source of seeds cannot be proactive while domestic goods can only meet 30-35 years. % need. The goal of developing hybrid rice in the coming time is not necessarily to increase the cultivated area, but to raise the proportion of domestic products from more than 30-35% to 40.50%…, conquering the market by high quality seeds. Dr. Le Hung Phong: “The results of our work up to now can be said to have not been as expected”. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Dr. Le Hung Phong confided: “In the past, we used to joke: “Although hybrid rice is hybrid, the yield is still twice that of normal rice”, but in fact, research shows that “to create hybrid rice varieties, time Time and effort must be twice that of pure rice.” For example, the research time to select a pure rice variety can be 5 years, but it takes 10 years for hybrid rice. Moreover, the production of hybrid rice seeds by external pollination, depends a lot on weather conditions, on the characteristics of pollen recipients and pollens of the mother and father lines, whether parents combine to create an advantage or not… In short, the production of hybrid rice seeds requires a large investment but the risk is high, so well-known enterprises like ThaiBinhseed have not invested in the production of hybrid rice seeds, Vinaseed only focuses on the production of hybrid rice varieties. old system, easy to do like Nhi uu 838 and now it’s time to start with new varieties imported from China. Besides, there are also private enterprises, the provincial Seed Center has copyright like Cuong Tan Co., Ltd., Hai Phong High-Tech Agriculture Joint Stock Company, Lao Cai Seed Center, Thanh Hoa Institute of Agricultural Science, Vietseed … to invest in domestic hybrid rice production. Currently, the official hybrid rice research and breeding system only has the Crop Research and Development Institute of the Vietnam National Academy of Agriculture and the Hybrid Rice Research and Development Center of the Institute of Food Crops and Food Plants. . We are implementing a program to select and breed hybrid rice that is qualified for export. In addition, starting research on selecting hybrid rice varieties to cope with climate change. HYT 315 – new generation hybrid rice at the Center for Research and Development of Hybrid Rice. Photo: Duong Dinh Tuong. Making good seeds, but selling copyrights at this time is difficult because two or three successful harvests and one loss is zero production effort, so businesses are not eager. There is a new direction of combining with businesses to jointly invest, share profits as well as risks. The Center is now a partially autonomous (45-50%) non-business unit. The results of our work to date can be said to have not been as expected. For example, the phenotype of domestic hybrid rice compared with Chinese hybrid rice is still poor, and needs to be improved to be closer to imported varieties. What I regret most is that the opportunity to contribute to the development of domestic hybrid rice production is that at the time when HYT100 was recognized as a variety, there was no strong business to invest in it. The quality of the HYT100 is good, but there are difficulties in seed production, which are also common weaknesses of quality hybrid rice varieties. If this weakness can be improved, the opportunity for development will be better. I think there are still many things that can be exploited and believe that hybrid rice will grow well. I used to go to an expert in Africa where rice is only for invited guests, proving that the rice grain still plays a huge role in the world with densely populated countries or need to ensure food security. In order to develop hybrid rice and pure rice in particular and the seed industry in general, if the State and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development do not have policies to invest in-depth in domestic research, it will be difficult to compete with foreign products. Large enterprises, with a lot of money, only invest in research at the level of exploration and testing of varieties, not in-depth research. Therefore, appropriate attention and investment is still needed for non-business units doing research to ensure continuity and to produce good products.

Daedong Ganoderma products have luxurious packaging. It is known that Daedong is a premium red ginseng brand sponsored by the Korean government, with extensive experience in the production of ginseng products, cordyceps and reishi mushrooms. Daedong’s products are popular in the domestic market and exported to dozens of countries, including Vietnam. Meanwhile, Imsil district in Jeollabuk-do province is a famous Korean reishi mushroom growing place. This place has special climatic and soil conditions suitable for this precious mushroom species, besides the people’s experience in mushroom cultivation is handed down as a long-standing tradition in the locality. In Imsil, the highland terrain is still relatively unspoiled due to the lack of industrial parks, cool climate, and natural clean water. With the participation of Daedong Corporation, many modern technologies are applied to support mushroom cultivation on the basis of preserving the maximum purity of nature. To shape products in the high-end segment, Daedong Group chooses oak tree trunks as the initial growth medium for Ganoderma lucidum. The trunks are carefully selected, are healthy, disease-free, uniform oak trees. The trees were disinfected for 48 hours with heat, then “rested” for about a week before being used as a place to inoculate reishi mushroom spores. From January to March, when the climate is most suitable, experienced Imsil farmers manually inoculate the oak tree with fungal spores. Then all are placed in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. The fungal sporulation phase takes place for 70 days, the oak stems are brought to the ground, the mushroom seedlings begin the development process. From seedlings to adults that are slightly larger than a hand, Daedong Ganoderma lucidum is located in a closed farm to ensure control of environmental indicators such as temperature and humidity. Daedong Ganoderma lucidum is grown on oak tree trunks placed under the ground in the famous Imsil mushroom growing area in Korea. When the fungal spores have developed into seedlings, the oak stems are buried in the ground. Experts of Daedong Group together with Imsil mushroom farmers continue to strictly control the growth environment of mushrooms until the mushrooms are mature and ready to be harvested. The whole process of mushroom development, many modern agricultural technologies are applied but always ensure environmental friendly factors, absolutely do not use pesticides or additional artificial nutrients. When Ganoderma matures, the size of the mushroom is slightly larger than the hand, uniform in shape due to being cared for according to the traditional secret of Imsil farmers. After being harvested in the field, Ganoderma lucidum will be dried and disinfected with Daedong’s own technology for long-term preservation, before being packaged into finished products without using any preservatives.

Consumers when choosing meat in the cooler of a supermarket need to learn carefully because there are many types of defrosted meat Photo: Tran Viet – VNA Cheap, easy to buy, convenient to process Ms. Linh Chi (banker, Ba Trieu branch, Hanoi), said that recently, when she went to the supermarket, she came across lean pork, pork belly imported from the US, cut into pieces and pre-packed in blister packs. , stored in the refrigerator for sale. This type of meat costs from 104,000-154,000 VND/kg, cheaper than fresh domestic meat. When she wondered about the fact that imported meat was not kept in the freezer but kept in the cooler when sold, the supermarket staff explained: “Frozen meat is often in large volume, making it difficult for consumers to buy, so Supermarket defrosts, cuts, divides into small pieces from 300-400gr/tray and is stored in the refrigerator”. Further observation, Ms. Linh saw that at this food counter in the supermarket, there was a sign noting to consumers: “The product has been defrosted, please do not re-freeze”. According to the reporter’s observations, with meats that have been defrosted, chopped, and sold as cool or fresh meats, many customers choose because of their low prices, suitable for the retail needs of the majority of customers. . However, very few supermarkets clearly state the origin and condition of these meats. In supermarkets, convenience stores, you will not easily recognize this as thawed meat because the small stamps on the surface of the tray only display the words “American beef shoulder”, “Australian beef shoulder”. … Especially, what is more worrying, if supermarkets and convenience stores bring defrosted meat to sell as cool meat, in markets, thawed meat is sold as fresh meat. Even at the end of the day, if it doesn’t sell out, the stall owner will re-freeze the meat to sell it the next day. Thawed meat does not guarantee food safety With the advantages of being easy to buy because of its small volume, convenient processing, and low cost, consumers have chosen this type of defrosted meat. However, food safety experts are concerned about the safety and quality of frozen meat when defrosting if done in an inappropriate manner. Specifically, when defrosting, the meat must be brought to the refrigerator (temperature is about 4-5 degrees Celsius) to slowly defrost, not put the meat outside in the natural environment or put the meat in water. When leaving meat out, the high temperature will make it easy for bacteria to infect and grow, which is not safe. In many supermarkets, convenience stores, markets, imported meat is thawed for retail Dr. Nguyen Duy Thinh, former officer of the Institute of Food and Biotechnology, University of Science and Technology, said that in markets, hygienic conditions cannot be compared with supermarkets, meat has a high risk of infection. With unsold meat, small traders re-freeze, bacteria continue to be inhibited, but after thawing, exposed to normal temperature, bacteria multiply faster before re-freezing. Moreover, when selling, due to the large amount of meat, the cooler is not able to cool the pieces of meat evenly, so it still creates opportunities for bacteria to grow. The amount of bacteria will multiply day by day. After three days, the meat in the supermarket can be the same as the meat in the market if it is stored at a temperature above 5 degrees Celsius. “It is best to defrost it on the same day it is sold out” – Dr. Nguyen Duy Thinh said. In addition, Mr. Vu The Thanh, a food safety and hygiene expert, said that defrosted meats are more susceptible to infection than fresh meat because when defrosting, the bacteria will continue to multiply after the freezing process. and multiply to infinity if favorable conditions are met. Therefore, when buying defrosted frozen meat, consumers should process and use it within the same day, do not re-freeze the meat because it will form ice in the piece of meat, after thawing again. , the meat will be dehydrated, not good to eat. Mr. Nguyen Van Manh, owner of a chain of stores specializing in selling clean food, said that fresh, frozen and chilled meat products must all meet technical regulations on food safety, if Failure to do so will result in fines or even criminal penalties. Explaining the reason why retailers still openly sell defrosted meat, Mr. Manh said that because these units did not announce or promote the meat as cool or fresh meat, the authorities cannot be punished. “The standard is for businesses to have grounds to announce the quality of products sold on the market, not mandatory. Only if these stalls hang signs selling cool and fresh meat but sell defrosted meat. , has just been punished”. To the naked eye, it can be seen that the pieces of pork after defrosting are usually pale in color. Even, the meat is still a bit cold, some pieces of meat still have ice crystals. As for beef, frozen buffalo meat that is thawed is usually darker in color, especially when sold at room temperature, on a hot day in the market.

In many supermarkets, convenience stores, wholesale and retail markets, pork, beef and chicken of all kinds are defrosted for retail, in which, there are products that are discolored and metamorphosed right on the counters and stalls. See defrosted meat as cool, fresh meat In previous years, imported frozen meat was often preferred by collective kitchens (schools, factories, restaurants) because the price is much cheaper than fresh meat (hot meat) in the country and the price advantage when buying the whole box (per barrel) cartons are usually from 18-25kg). But now, imported meat is defrosted and retailed by stall owners in markets, shops and supermarkets. Bach Hoa Xanh convenience store on Vo Thanh Trang street, Tan Binh district, Ho Chi Minh City sells a lot of lean pork chips, pork ribs, and imported beef thighs. All meats here have been defrosted, chopped, and sold as cool or fresh meats. According to some customers, they buy this type of product because it is cheap and easy to process. Some customers don’t even know it’s defrosted meat. “All meat imported here is frozen meat that has been defrosted and has the same quality as chilled meats,” the store employee said. Many types of defrosted meat sold on the side of the wholesale market for agricultural products and food in Hoc Mon began to change color, but consumers still flocked to buy it due to the low price. At the Tops Market supermarket on Au Co Street, Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City, the amount of beef imported from the US and Australia is quite large, overwhelming domestic beef. Meat is divided into many types such as ribs, pork belly, shoulder loin, corn, neck core meat, lean thigh, lean shoulder, flower corn… All are cut into all sizes (1-2cm thick slices, thin slices, slices). square, wrap enoki mushrooms…) and then put in a plastic tray with a weight of 300-400g, which is very suitable for the retail needs of most customers. It is not easy to recognize that this is defrosted meat because the small stamps on the surface of the tray only show the words “American beef shoulder”, “Australian beef shoulder”… With thick cuts of meat, still fine. Ice crystals between the fibers are easier to see, but with thin slices, the ice crystals disappear, they look like cool meat. Meanwhile, at the counter, there is no information that this is defrosted meat. Some meats have a promotional label, which has a three-day shelf life. According to staff, this supermarket often has promotions and discounts directly on products; all promotional meat is fresh meat, not old meat like in other supermarkets (?). At Big C supermarket on Truong Chinh Street, Tan Phu District, in addition to imported beef and pork, there are also whole chickens, garlic thighs, and imported chicken thighs. All kinds of pork and beef are also chopped, blistered, and sold in the freezer. Particularly, the types of chicken are defrosted and sold as fresh chicken in the country.

According to our observations, during the lunch break, this unsold meat continued to be re-frozen and then displayed on a tray for further sale at 15:00. “In the morning, this beef tendon costs 150,000 VND / kg, but in the afternoon, the price is about 120,000-130,000 VND / kg. Meat that is not sold out must be re-frozen for preservation. It’s the same everywhere, not just here,” said the stall owner. In markets, it is not difficult to recognize frozen beef and buffalo meat that is thawed and sold as fresh meat. Imported goods are mainly packed in boxes according to categories such as thigh, loin, and neck meat, while most stalls also sell these types. These defrosted meats often darken very quickly when sold at room temperature, especially on hot days. Previously, the Veterinary Department of Ho Chi Minh City had exposed cases of defrosting meat and then dipping it into fresh beef blood to deceive consumers. Route 4 on the side of Hoc Mon wholesale market for agricultural products and food is the gathering place for dozens of frozen pork trucks. This is also a place to sell defrosted and re-frozen pork on a fairly large scale. Here, there are more than a dozen stainless steel tables set up next to refrigerated trucks for small traders to display meat for sale. Meat is exposed, uncovered, under the table only temporarily lined with cardboard or plastic bags. Meat juice from the table dripped to the ground, pooled in puddles, and smelled foul. These “stalls” sell all kinds of pork such as tenderloin, cutlet, young ribs, bacon, lean shoulder, thigh, ham, hoof, and offal. Because everything is frozen, when it’s on the table, it’s a bit cold. The prices of these meats are half as cheap as hot meat in the wholesale market of agricultural products and food in Hoc Mon: pork leg and pork belly at 55,000 VND/kg; Young ribs, pork heart cost 65,000 VND/kg. According to our observations, most customers come here to buy wholesale, at least 5kg or more, in and out continuously. Vendors also use their bare hands to pick up meat for customers, with only a few wearing gloves. A seller here said that the customers who come to buy are mainly people from restaurants and collective kitchens, they take a lot of money due to the cheap price, but the delicious meat is not inferior to fresh meat because it is preserved by refrigerated trucks. specialized. However, it was only around 7am, the sun was still not shining, the meat in some stalls had stopped freezing, started to turn a little pale, not pink, and lost its elasticity when pressed. This amount of meat is put in plastic bags by the owners of the stalls and brought to the refrigerated truck to be re-frozen, wait a few hours or the next day for sale. This happens from early morning to late evening. According to regulations, to sell frozen meat, small traders in the wholesale market of agricultural products and food in Hoc Mon must register; If you do not register, you will be severely fined. Meanwhile, the “field stalls” on the side of this market sell defrosted meat without knowing if it has an expiration date or is marinated with any preservatives. (According to Women in HCMC)

Put the plate in front of the door, when the dough starts to burn like a “pinch of fire”, the smoke starts to spread, then carry the plate and smoke around the rooms. Open all the doors, turn on the lights to let the smoke spread and get out quickly. After finishing, put the plate in the middle of the living room, family members, agencies, units … step by step through the plate to purify themselves (men step back and forth 7 times, women 9 times).

Yellow powder is used in the case of a subtle spirit (spirit), both suppressing and soothing evil.

In the letter to us, many readers clearly state the website address, consultation phone number – provide the above powder. However, we are not convenient in this article. Dear readers! The custom of some countries in the region and in some localities in our country has mentioned or carried out the procedure of “disinfecting”, disinfecting earth-killing, mainly using house brooms and water. However, those are just the conventional “miracle” procedures. In our opinion, “powder of exorcism” is a type of “new product” created to serve a kind of “new practice”, absolutely no feng shui or exorcism value. We affirm that: The producer and promoter of this powder do not have feng-shui knowledge, much less know anything about Buddhism and Buddhist mantras. “Trade promotion introduction” with the content of the bearded of their other woman’s chin is mainly to fascinate greedy or superstitious people. Readers should pay attention to avoid “money to lose anger” for exorcism powder and related rituals./.

Beluga fish is owned by Vietnam Sturgeon Group (CTVN) and has been raised since 2010 on farms in Binh Thuan, Dak Lak, Binh Dinh, Lam Dong, Son La. According to the representative of the group, CTVN has a stock of about 5 million fish, of which the Beluga sturgeon has a number of nearly 100,000, reaching a weight of 5-30 kg / fish, especially fish weighing up to 80 kg. CTVN is currently one of the few units that can breed sturgeon in Vietnam. In 2007, CTVN Group established sturgeon hatcheries in Vietnam, located in Tuyen Lam Lake, City. Da Lat. Broodstock were selected from fish farms in Germany and Russia. At the beginning of its establishment, the first batch of hatchlings were imported and technically supported by Russian experts. By 2010, when the first herds of fish matured, Caviar de Duc sturgeon eggs were on the market, considered the first batch of fish successfully propagated in Vietnam. According to the representative of the group, CTVN’s rearing procedures are followed by special technology consulted by leading Russian experts. In addition to meticulous care according to the scientific regime, CTVN’s farms are also located in hydroelectric reservoirs at an altitude of 500-900m, where there is great flow and clean water all year round, heat. The coolness is about 18-27 degrees Celsius, ensuring all parameters of water quality, environment no different from the natural growth zones of sturgeon in Europe. The production process of the CTVN farm system has been rigorously tested and certified to meet VietGap standards, and at the same time is continuously improving and consolidating the quality indicators system towards GlobalGap standards. As a result, sturgeon raised on CTVN farms retain its inherent natural taste, and the quality of meat and fish eggs is not inferior to that of wild caught sturgeon. Protect fish “million dollars” After more than 10 years of establishment and development, CTVN’s farm system has expanded with an area of ​​about 160,000 square meters. Previously, Vietnam had to import fish eggs from abroad, now CTVN can produce breed eggs by themselves. In particular, the fact that CTVN is a rare unit in Vietnam and Southeast Asia owning a rare and super-rare Beluga herd marks a major turning point in the development of our country’s cold-water fisheries. Beluga is one of the special sturgeon species, known as the “million dollar” fish because not only fish have high nutritional value, but their eggs are very rare. A mature Beluga fish for eggs in the natural environment requires 20 years of age and an adult weight can reach 900 kg. Beluga sturgeon eggs have a market price of between $ 7,000 and $ 10,000 / kg, among the top 10 most luxurious dishes on the planet. Beluga fish meat is delicious and firm, nutritious, healthy, is a nutritious dish with high content of calcium and phosphorus as well as protein, selenium, iron, magnesium and vitamins B12, B6, vitamin C, A and D and especially Omega-3 fatty acids. Regular use of sturgeon and caviar is beneficial for brain function, helps reduce the risk of depression, prevent heart disease, foster the body and restore health. However, in Vietnam, the number of people who have the opportunity to enjoy this rare fish meat is very few because there was no place in our country where Beluga could raise them for commercial purposes. In addition, this fish is an endangered species, so in the world, it is declining about 60% in the wild and is still the red listed fish. Therefore, having a unit like CTVN succeeding in breeding and breeding sturgeon in general and Beluga in particular has brought a lot of meaning in preserving nature, bringing economic and social values. According to CTVN, the group can bring to domestic and international high-end products including Beluga fish meat and Caviar (black fish roe) with great reach. CTVN Group currently has 6 member companies operating in the field of egg hatching and breeding, sturgeon rearing and black caviar production with Caviar De Duc brand – the brand named National Brand 2020.

However, not everyone is aware of the harmful mistakes that will bring bad luck to your family. Feng shui expert Phung Phuong pointed out that 5 great cavalry owners need to be especially avoided, absolutely should not be committed. Experts say that it is quite difficult to build a house, not to let ignorance break the sand of the plan. Enter trach when the house is not completed When the house has not been completed, it means that the atmosphere is unstable, which can easily lead to turmoil and turmoil. You live in such an unstable environment, also detrimental to your health, wealth, and bad luck. When entering trach at a time when the feng shui is not good, later life will also be difficult to achieve the desired performance. I advise you, after finishing all the works from internal bonding to the small landscape, wait 1-2 weeks before doing the import ceremony. Wrong date entered I see a lot of families who do not choose the right day to join. To have a good day must ensure two factors: according to the plan and the age of the owner.
Many times, if you only count by your age, you forget the fortune, this is a damaging thing. You should move to a new home when the land is prosperous and stable. In feng shui, there are 3 elements Thien, Dia and Nhan, the element of Geography depends on time.
That is the reason that our feng shui remains unchanged, but the progress at ups and downs, so you need to choose a day of prosperity to welcome the good sand. An incorrect altar If you place the altar to worship the altar before entering the trach, it is wrong with the formal feng shui process. When you get home, you will move a lot of spills such as: beds, wardrobes … into the house.
In the process of stable installation, it is easy to move the altar and disturb the aura.
In addition, you usually have to knock on a fixed angle, creating loud noises and creating pulses to “worship”.
The church committee just got home has been “moved” and will bring negative things. Feng Shui 100 days first When you first come home, you will not only do the ceremony of the first day but also need to burn incense for 100 consecutive days with the aim of: stabilizing the atmosphere, increasing the vitality.
If you accidentally forget 12 days out of those 100 days, it will take a long time before you can stabilize the gas for the whole house. * Information for reference only.

From Constantin Röse, ARD stock exchange studio Five years: That’s how long EU and British diplomats have been fighting for Brexit. With the Vote in the European Parliament the agreement is now closed – but with a clear warning from Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that this agreement has “teeth”. That sounds more like a threat than restarting relationships.

Northern Ireland contentious issue

So is the ongoing EU-UK dispute going on? No, says Jörg Krämer, Commerzbank’s chief economist: “We’ve seen the big brawl a long time ago. But there are still open issues.” For example the situation in Northern Ireland: The EU complains about violations of the UK against the exit agreement. This actually guarantees open borders between the British province and the EU member Ireland. However, the UK doesn’t like this. However, Krämer considers it unlikely that the EU will react to this with punitive tariffs. “I do not believe that this conflict will escalate to such an extent that the European Union will introduce tariffs on the movement of goods,” says the economist, because: “The European Union would cut its own flesh.” If you look at the total exports of the EU to Great Britain, they did not decrease in January.

Bureaucratic hurdles deter companies

The picture is very different in the case of German-British trade relations. German exports to Great Britain collapsed by 30 percent in January compared to the previous year. The mood in German companies is correspondingly bad. Customs formalities in particular are a thorn in their side for companies that want to export goods to the island, explains Carsten Brzeski, chief economist at ING Bank. “You were in part surprised by all these bureaucratic hurdles that have now been built up by the fact that Great Britain is no longer a member of the European internal market.” This leads to higher costs and more bureaucracy, according to Brzeski, and that scares some companies off. According to a survey by the British Chamber for Commerce in Germany and the consulting firm KPMG, 17 percent decided to stop foreign trade with Great Britain completely because it is no longer worthwhile for them.

Still many questions unanswered

In this divorce, however, it also becomes clear that many issues are still unresolved: What is the future of deep-sea fishing? Or how do the EU and Great Britain deal with financial services? Economist Brzeski does not yet believe in a quick relaxation between the mainland and the island. “In the coming months – probably also in the course of this entire year and also next year – we will see the negative consequences of Brexit rather than being able to talk about new opportunities here.” If anyone sees opportunities, it is the Brexit hardliners. You like to refer to the strong economic forecasts. According to this, economic growth in Great Britain is expected to be around six percent this year, in Germany, for example, only around 3.5 percent. The British economy owes this primarily to the vaccination success in the country – and by no means to Brexit. You will only really be able to see the consequences of this after the pandemic.

Roadmap well prepared According to the registry centers in Ho Chi Minh City, the number of cars produced from 1999 to 2008 failed to register much. One of the reasons is due to the pre-existing registration roadmap, so people are aware of car maintenance and care during use. In addition, cars currently operating on the streets in Vietnam are not large and instead of using 10-20 years as before, car owners only use about 5-10 years to have the need to change new cars. . Mr. Tran Van Chu, branch director of the 5003V Registry Center, said that people had prepared and cared for cars in advance, so the fact that the car produced from 1999 to 2008 applies level 2 emission standards. it was too sudden for them to panic or worry. On a professional perspective, the director of another center shared that nowadays people also ride a lot of new cars, so the new emission standards are being met. According to this position, the good is not 100% of the cars are qualified, but with the current threshold, most cars do. In particular, the care and maintenance is one of the issues that greatly affects the emission standards. This director analyzed further, it is possible to compare emissions like using the stove for cooking, if you want to smoke out well, you must have a good source of ingredients. If wet firewood is used, the haze of the sky, likewise, poorly maintained engine and exhaust, not changing filters, or not cleaning the exhaust pipes will affect the exhaust gas. “As for a diesel engine, it doesn’t matter how to burn it, but being sprayed with black smoke is not good. Sometimes the exhaust or exhaust is clean, but the engine’s source (gasoline, oil) is not up to quality, ”- emphasized this taste. According to the Vietnam Registry Department, gasoline-powered vehicles from 1999 to 2008 accounted for 5.5% of the total number of sleds registered. Photo: THY NHUNG Tighten the emission test to protect the environment According to data provided by the Vietnam Registry Department, the number of vehicles produced from 1999 to 2008 failed to register too much.

As for diesel-powered vehicles, there are 36,278 sleds out of a total of 460,878 registered vehicles. Likewise, the number of cars produced between 1999 and 2008 also accounts for 12.7% of the total number of sleds registered. According to the Registry Department, the inspection of emissions in the automobile inspection started in 1999 in Vietnam. Currently, regulations on emission standards and emission measurement procedures for automobiles are regulated in Decision No. 16/2019 of the Prime Minister and National Standard TCVN 6438: 2018. . Accordingly, any vehicle may not meet the regulations on emissions in the technical safety inspection and environmental protection of motor vehicles in traffic if the vehicle is not inspected and maintained. regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions and regulations. “The application of the new emission standard is part of the roadmap to raise the emission standards and tighten the inspection process for motor vehicles in Vietnam. Accordingly, this will contribute to reducing environmental pollution caused by transportation, contributing to creating a better living environment, protecting the environment, and protecting people’s health ”- Mr. Dang Tran Khanh , Deputy Head of Motor Vehicle Inspection Department, Vietnam Registry Department, said. According to Mr. Khanh, people should check and maintain their cars regularly, in accordance with the regulations and instructions of the manufacturer and before going to the inspection. In addition, it is also important to use a vehicle that conforms to its design specifications, without overloading the design load. From 2022, cars must meet 5 emissions standards Circular 06/2021 of the Ministry of Transport promulgating national technical regulations on level 5 emissions for new manufactured, assembled and imported cars takes effect from January 1, 2022. This Technical Specification specifies emission limits, tests and test methods, requirements for the management and organization of level 5 emissions checks in quality control, technical safety and protection. production and assembly automobile environment and new imported cars. Accordingly, the types of cars applied in this regulation include cars with at least four wheels, classified as low-standard-volume cars and high-standard-volume cars (explained in the circular. ). Tricycles with a self weight greater than 400 kg (considered cars according to TCVN 6211: 2003) are tested for exhaust gas according to QCVN 04: 2009 and QCVN 77: 2014. This Regulation does not apply to the following types of cars: Cars designed and manufactured to run on all types of terrain and roads that do not belong to the road traffic system; electric cars (cars that use electricity only as the driving force).

Area planted with genetically modified maize in Tho Hai commune (Tho Xuan). Accordingly, units under the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development have planted some genetically modified maize varieties, such as: DK 6818S, NK 4300BT / GT, NK 7328BT / GT, DK 9955S, NK4300Bt / Gt. , DK6919S … in some localities in the province. The actual assessment shows that the genetically modified maize varieties are highly resistant to pests and diseases, especially for dangerous diseases such as the autumn acacia, so the input cost is reduced by about 10 to 15%. Therefore, the yield of genetically modified maize varieties was 15 to 20 quintals / ha / crop higher than conventional maize varieties and 5 to 7 million VND / ha / crop higher than conventional maize varieties. Due to the proof of economic efficiency, the suitability of farming conditions and qualifications of many localities in the province, in recent years, the agricultural sector and local authorities in the province have encouraged her to Farmers put genetically modified maize varieties into production. Therefore, the model of genetically modified maize is increasingly being replicated, the area planted to genetically modified maize has been expanded according to each production season. In the summer-autumn crop of 2019, Tho Xuan District Agricultural Extension Center (now the Agricultural Service Center of Tho Xuan district) cooperates with DEKALB Co., Ltd. to implement a demonstration model of 2 genetically modified hybrid maize varieties 6919S and DK 9955S, in Tho Hai commune, with 2 sao. These are considered to be 2 genetically modified maize varieties with high yield and superior resistance to the autumn acacia worms. Accordingly, the company has put 2 genetically modified maize varieties: 6919S and DK 9955S into cultivation on the maize land area of ​​Tho Hai commune for trial planting. The actual evaluation from the model shows that, on 2 control maize fields planted adjacent to each other, the maize cultivating area is often destroyed by the autumn acacia worm, affecting the growth, development and yield. However, the planted area of ​​2 genetically modified maize varieties 6919S and DK 9955S still grows and develops well, the rate of damage caused by the autumn acacia and some other pests is low, almost does not affect the quality and productivity. According to calculations of the households implementing the model, the area of ​​genetically modified maize yield from 78 to 80 quintals / ha / crop, about 16 quintals / ha / crop higher than conventional maize varieties, the profit is from 27 to 33 million VND / ha / crop, about 7 million VND / ha / crop higher than the area planted with conventional maize varieties. At the end of the model, many households in Tho Hai commune boldly use genetically modified maize varieties for mass cultivation. On average, each year, the whole commune has about 100 ha of maize planted with genetically modified maize varieties. Particularly in the winter-spring crop 2020-2021, the whole commune has more than 30 hectares of maize planted with genetically modified maize varieties. In Yen Dinh district, genetically modified maize varieties, such as NK4300Bt / Gt, DK6919S, NK7328Bt / Gt, and DK6818S are also being widely cultivated by farmers in many lands. Each year, the district has nearly 1,000 ha of maize planted with genetically modified maize varieties and it is expected that the area of ​​using genetically modified maize varieties for cultivation will be expanded in the next seasons. According to Mr. Trinh Xuan Quy, Head of Agriculture and Rural Development Division, People’s Committee of Yen Dinh district, said: The reason for the rapid expansion of genetically modified marine maize area is because the use of genetically modified maize varieties helps to reduce labor, investment costs and amount of pesticides, thereby, reducing environmental pollution, improving farmers’ income, increasing economic efficiency from 15 to 20% compared to production of ordinary maize. From the benefits brought, Yen Dinh district is continuing to encourage farmers to use genetically modified maize varieties for planting, improving economic efficiency. According to the synthesis of the Provincial Plant Protection and Cultivation Department, the presence of genetically modified maize has been expanded in many districts, such as Cam Thuy, Yen Dinh, Tho Xuan, Ngoc Lac, Vinh Loc, Thieu Hoa, Trieu Son, with a total area of ​​more than 3,000 hectares per year. Most of the area planted to genetically modified maize achieves 20-30% higher economic efficiency than conventional maize varieties. More importantly, the genetically modified maize varieties are highly resistant to pests and diseases, so the amount of pesticide use in the production process is low, significantly contributing to environmental protection, ensuring safety. whole food for product
