Orange Can be grown in many places, but because the bran root system absorbs nutrients, it mainly grows on topsoil from a depth of 50cm or more, prefers loose, aerated soil but must ensure enough nutrition and good moisture. stable, so only some regions with specific conditions can effectively cultivate oranges. According to scientific calculations, an average of one ton of oranges is removed from the soil: 1.7kg N; 0.5kg P205; 3.2kg K and secondary and trace substances. The soil suitable for growing oranges has a thick, porous, well-drained cultivation layer, with alkaline pH from: 5.5 – 6.5. When the soil acidity is lower than 5.5, the roots will be toxic by Fe, Al, the plants are susceptible to lack of nutritional factors such as: Ca, Mg, P and Mo, the activity of soil microorganisms is also affected. reduced low. The nutrition trace elements such as Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, B0, M0, C0…. Micronutrients also have the effect of improving the soil, helping to reduce the number of seeds, increase the flavor, beautify the fruit, contribute to increasing the yield and quality of oranges when harvested. Lack of trace elements makes the plant imbalanced in nutrition, prone to yellow mosaic disease, flower drop, young fruit drop, diseased plants and abnormal growth. Due to the above requirements for soil, nutrients and tree characteristics, many concentrated orange growing areas have chosen to use it Van Dien fertilizer n and gives very high efficiency. Lan Van Dien has a fairly high ratio of Calcium, Magnesium, and Silicon, so it has the effect of reducing acidity, gradually raising the pH of the soil, suitable for orange trees. The land for growing oranges is mainly grown on hills, gardens, and riverbanks where it is high and steep; easily washed out and lack of intermediate and trace substances. Lan Van Dien is a slow soluble phosphorus, only soluble in weak acid solutions secreted by the roots, where the plant needs to dissolve the fertilizer, so it is limited to being washed away. Besides Lan Van Dien It also adds essential nutrients and trace elements for plants. Produced from Van Dien fused phosphate fertilizer, specialized NPK multi-element fertilizers for oranges are different from some common NPK fertilizers, in addition to nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, there are also medium and micronutrients. Van Dien NPK provides 16 essential nutrients for plants with a high and balanced nutrient ratio NPK Van Dien provide enough 16 essential nutrients for plants with a high and balanced nutrient ratio. For oranges in the business period, the amount of fertilizer invested depends on the quality of the soil in the region, the age of the tree and the annual yield. In 1 year, in combination with rotten organic fertilizer, Van Dien fertilizer is divided into 4 fertilization periods: 1st: After harvesting the fruit. Apply a root of 10-15kg of organic fertilizer, 3-5kg of Van Dien phosphorus. Three times after applying with multi-factor fertilizer NPK Van Dien: 13;3:13 or 12-8-12, 12-12-17. Phase 2: Around March-April, after the physiological fruit drop. Oranges from 4 to 7 years old, apply a 1-1.5kg root; oranges from 8 – 11 years old, apply a 1.5 – 2kg root; Oranges over 11 years old, apply a root of 2.5 – 3kg. 3rd round: In June-July, fertilize fruit after stabilizing the number of fruits on the tree. Oranges from 4 – 7 years old, apply a root of 1.5 – 2kg; oranges from 8 – 11 years old, apply a root 1.5 – 2kg; Oranges over 11 years old, apply a root of 2.5 – 3kg. Phase 4: In September-October, 1 – 1.5 months before harvest, apply multi-factor fertilizer NPK 12:12:17 to limit the second physiological fruit drop and limit fruit cracking, especially weight gain. yield and fruit quality at harvest. Oranges from 4 to 7 years old fertilize a root 2 – 2.5kg; oranges from 8 – 11 years old, apply a root of 2.5 – 3kg; Oranges over 11 years old fertilize a root of 3.5 – 4kg. Van Dien fertilizer provides a full balance of all kinds of macronutrients, intermediate and micronutrients to satisfy the nutritional needs of orange trees throughout the crop year. Van Dien fertilizer helps orange trees grow healthy, balanced, green leaves, bright, thick leaves, less pests, high fruiting rate, large, uniform fruits, reduce fruit drop, help balls, Large, smooth, especially when ripe, the dark yellow skin is very attractive, high yield, increased sweetness, stronger flavor and longer shelf life. How to fertilize: * If, after harvesting the fruits of the previous crop, the incision was made and then fused with phosphate fertilizers and rotted organic fertilizers were applied, now apply fertilizer according to the old canal: spread fertilizer along the canal and then cover with soil, leaves cover the manure. * Can spread fertilizer according to the projection of the canopy back, about 50-60cm from the root, spread the fertilizer and then cover with soil, if it is dry, it must be watered; You can soak the manure to dissolve it and then mix it with water to irrigate.

In the high-end consumer segment, popcorn is being evaluated by nutritionists as a food containing many healthy micronutrients. According to research by the American Chemical Society, antioxidants called polyphenols are concentrated in popcorn avocado much more than in other vegetables and fruits. Specifically, corn contains low calorie, high fiber content, good for the digestive system and heart; The content of antioxidants, protein, phosphorus, iron is much higher than that of other vegetables. Popcorn also has fiber and it is the only snack made from 100% whole grains. Whole grains are a good range of foods because they are packed with antioxidants Nutritionists put avocado popcorn at the top of the list of nutrient-dense foods. Unlike most other snack products that contain only a relatively small amount of nutrients while being high in calories, popcorn is the opposite. With these preeminent features, popcorn is emphasized as a nutritional “gold mine”. That makes this junk food market a money-making business model in the world with many million-dollar startups. Typically the company Kernel King of Bric Simpson (USA) specializes in providing popcorn flaps to cinemas, on average, they sell 150,000 boxes per month globally. Not stopping there, Bric Simpson also ambitious to continue developing the Kernel King-branded lid as popular as a bag of popcorn in all cinemas around the world. In fact, popcorn is a fast and convenient food that everyone can bring to the theater. Even eating popcorn has become an indispensable habit when going to the cinema. However, this dish contributes a small amount of profit, accounting for nearly 40% of global cinema revenue. To find the best products, consumers compare brands and varieties and choose the lowest calorie, low fat, and salt type. In Vietnam, the popcorn market has recently exploded in many business models and types from large to small. But many brands also invest in this model. In particular, the brand ProperCorn Vietnam with the image of the cute and cheerful red-nosed clown of Funny Group Joint Stock Company is quietly occupying the market more and more clearly and strongly. The representative of this label said that the company has actively researched and kept pace with the world trend, amid the market disturbed by many poor quality products. This brand focuses on the segment of clean agricultural products, ensuring high quality standard input materials: imported non-GMO corn (NON-GMO), additives and spices such as butter. 100% imported oil, caramel, cheese … ProperCorn Vietnam is covering the market at a high speed through a full range of wholesale, retail and e-commerce channels. In particular, the wholesale channel is thriving in Hanoi, Hai Phong, and Quang Ninh with large numbers; ProperCorn Vietnam’s packaged products retail has more than 300 locations on shelves at supermarkets, convenience stores, outdoor cinema, cafes, milk tea, lemon tea, bubble yogurt … . E-commerce channel alone is effectively deployed through ProperCorn Shop applications at Shopee, Tiki, Lazada, food ordering applications at Now Food, Grabfood … Mushroom-shaped blast corn is widely sold in supermarkets in small packages for consumers to choose from home to process according to their taste. Few people know that the key to Funny Group most confident is that the raw material for imported popcorn is entirely non-GM corn of the No. 1 agricultural export company in the US. This company is also a reputable supplier in the Vietnamese market for safe corn imported directly from the market with the most stringent standards in the world, the US. When returning to Vietnam, this material is also certified by the Institute of Agricultural Genetics and ensures all distribution conditions in the domestic market (although foreign suppliers claim that corn kernels are used to explode. The popcorn is from non-genetically engineered primitive corn, also known as non-GM maize). Currently, this company is providing two lines of mushroom-shaped and butterfly-shaped popcorn popcorn to the market. The focal points in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces distribute raw materials to agent systems at all levels, movie theaters, manufacturers, large and small. Although it is a nutritious agricultural product and easy to trade in, the absorption effectiveness of this snack product depends a lot on the preparation and quality of the ingredients attached. “The popcorn will provide the maximum nutritional content when properly processed and the accompanying ingredients meet the standards from quality, taste and color. The brand will be welcomed and remembered by customers if the product ensures those factors ”, said a representative of Funny Group.

Misconceptions about nutrition of parents will significantly affect the development of children. Illustration

The story shared by a Chinese couple on social networks recently made many mothers and fathers startled by misconceptions in how to care and nurture their children.

Vuong himself is 1.78m tall, his wife is 1.64m and his son Dao Dao is 12 years old this year, but he is 1.65m tall. The boy is nearly a head taller than most of his classmates, and it can be said that Dao Dao is the tallest person in the class. Mr. Vuong is very happy, feeling that his son will definitely be taller than 1.8m.

Being very interested in the development of his child, Mr. Wang took Dao Dao to the hospital to check the health, as well as the growth of the body or the age of the bones to see how much taller his son could be.

Amazingly, the doctor told Mr. Wang that the child’s cartilage gland was ready to stop growing and once it stopped growing, it would be difficult to grow taller in the future. In other words, although she has not yet begun to enter puberty – the stage of rapid growth in height, Dao Dao cannot grow taller. As a son, only 1.65m is a bit short indeed.

Mr. Wang told the doctor that they often pay close attention to the child’s nutrition and often feed him with bone broth every day. Starting from kindergarten, Dao Dao eats bone broth 2-3 times / week.

“Can not bone broth be fortified with calcium?”, Mr. Vuong wondered.

The doctor told Dao Dao’s father: “The bone broth contains very little calcium but the fat content is high. If you feed your child this type of fat-rich food regularly, it will easily cause fat accumulation in the child’s body. Too much fat will affect the baby’s growth hormone secretion, leading to early puberty, accelerating bone age, not beneficial for the child’s development.

Foods that affect the child’s height development, no matter how much they like it, should be limited.

Stewed bone broth

The bones are high in calcium but the broth is only high in fat. Illustration

Calcium content in bone is high, but calcium content in bone broth is very low, no matter how long it is simmered, calcium will almost remain in the bones and calcium content in broth will be very small. Conversely, after the bones are simmered for a long time, the main ingredient in the broth will be the bone marrow, which contains a lot of fat.

Therefore, children who use a lot of bone broth will increase the risk of obesity. Obesity is the enemy of children’s development, when children are obese, the aromatase content in adipose tissue will increase, leading to increased estrogen, increasing the age of the child’s bones and affecting the child’s development.

Soft drink

Children often enjoy drinking a variety of soft drinks. Although the taste is very popular with children, these drinks are not good for children’s height.

Carbonated soft drinks like Cola contain a lot of phosphorus but too much phosphorus will promote calcium loss, leading to calcium deficiency in children, affecting the growth and development of bones.

To make the taste even better, these drinks add a lot of sugar. White sugar is a high calorie food that can only provide calories for children, not vitamins, minerals, and protein … Therefore, children who drink these beverages can only gain weight easily without benefits. for height growth.

Cake

The ice cream used in bakery shops is usually vegetable ice cream, containing a large amount of trans fatty acids, which is not good for the child’s body. It only increases the amount of fat in the child’s body, makes the child obese and affects the height.

Fast food

Ingredients used in fast food are not guaranteed but add more spices like MSG. MSG will interfere with the absorption of zinc in the body, zinc deficient children will also affect height development and anorexia.

In addition, fast foods have a lot of salt, if they eat too much salt, they will eliminate excess sodium, when they excrete sodium, they will also excrete calcium, leading to calcium deficiency in the body and affecting child’s development.

Foods to help children develop height

Fish

Fish is one of the foods that help children develop the best height. Illustration

One of the best foods for height growth is fish. Salmon and tuna are two types of fish that are rich in vitamin D and protein. Children who use a lot of tuna will help increase height.

In addition, you should encourage your baby to spend a lot of time outdoors so that vitamin D in the sun can help absorb calcium well, so that the child can reach the ideal height.

Fresh fruits and vegetables

Consuming a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables is also very important for a child’s development. Fruits such as papaya, carrots, broccoli, spinach are foods rich in fiber, potassium, folate, especially vitamin A, which will help in the development of bones and tissues for children.

In addition, vitamin C in citrus fruits also aids in increasing height for children and also helps them to be healthier.

Milk

Milk is a calcium-rich drink that promotes development, while helping your baby’s bones become strong. Besides, vitamin A in milk helps the child’s body absorb calcium better. Besides, milk is also a very good source of protein, which helps in the growth of cells in the body.

Cereals

Grains are not only a great source of energy, but also a good source of fiber, vitamins, iron, magnesium and selenium. In addition, cereals are also very high in calories, play an important role in the development of children. Typically brown rice, pasta and whole wheat are foods that help children grow taller.

Soy bean

Soybeans are the most protein-rich foods in foods that help children develop a plant-derived height, which greatly aids in the child’s bone development.

Soy milk also contains more fiber, copper, iron, niacin and more phytonutrients than cow’s milk. This is very necessary for brain development, stabilizing the digestive tract for the child.

Hoa Vu (According to Sina)

According to Mr. Do Xuan Tuyen – Deputy Minister of Health, emphasized: “In order to achieve the important goals in the National Nutrition Strategy and Plan, it is necessary to coordinate with relevant ministries and agencies. join hands in individuals and mass organizations implementing many specific solutions on policies, resources, technical expertise with specialized and suitable nutritional solutions for Vietnamese people to build a lifestyle. being healthy and increasing physical activity are the key solutions to the prevention and control of overweight and obesity among children in Vietnam ”.

Aspiration of “European high standard nutrition, raising Vietnamese stature”

Facing the situation of adolescents, school-age children in our country are facing a “double burden” of stunting and overweight, obesity, Nutifood’s nutrition experts have been enthusiastic. During the past 20 years, from a blender that saved the lives of thousands of children in the 1980s at a pediatric hospital in Ho Chi Minh City to the pioneering of GrowPlus + in 2012 – milk product The first special treatment in Vietnam for malnourished and stunted children, contributing to reducing the rate of stunting malnutrition from 32.6% (2008) to below 23.2% (2018) and becoming a trademark the number 1 baby milk in Vietnam.

Mr. Tran Thanh Hai, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nutifood Group gave the opening speech and was honored to announce the launch of Nutifood Swedish Research Institute NNRIS

“Looking at the stature of the people of countries such as Japan and South Korea has improved a lot in recent years, Nutifood has burned the desire to make more effort to contribute to improving the stature of the Vietnamese people in the next 20 years.” Mr. Tran Thanh Hai – Nutifood’s Chairman of the Board shared: “With more than 20 years of understanding the specific condition and nutritional needs of Vietnamese children and consumers, we aspire to cooperate with scientists. and the world’s leading nutritionist, applying the quintessence and nutritional science of European high standards, specially formulated for the health of Vietnamese people. And that’s why we founded Nutifood Sweden and the Swedish Nutifood Institute of Nutrition – NNRIS ”.

Ceremony of announcing and launching the Swedish Nutifood Research Institute of Nutrition

Nutifood Swedish Research Institute

Ms. Ann Mawe, Swedish Ambassador to Vietnam highly appreciated NutiFood’s investment in Sweden – the “cradle” of high quality milk from Europe and the world. Sweden has organic milk production in the top 10 in the world, leading in scientific research in nutrition, and strict quality control standards. Nutifood Research Institute was established in Sweden as the foundation to bring the quintessence of nutritional science to high standards in Europe for Vietnamese consumers.

The Swedish Nutifood Institute of Nutrition – NNRIS was born in 2021, a step towards realizing the desire to bring European high-standard nutritional quintessence, “measuring and making shoes” for the child’s specific nutritional needs and health me and Vietnamese consumers. The Institute is home to more than 50 leading scientists and nutritionists in Europe and Vietnam, cooperating with the world’s major nutrition groups such as BASF from Germany, Dupon from the US, and DSM from Switzerland. … together with the medical associations and the University of Medicine and Pharmacy.

The first achievement of Nutifood Swedish Nutrition Research Institute – NNRIS is the FDI formula, helping children build a strong resistance – good digestion foundation; is being clinically tested by the National Institute of Nutrition. In addition, the Institute has built a set of high-tech agricultural standards according to Swedish standards, helping Nutifood to have the first international high-standard fresh milk source in Vietnam – with a content of 3.5 grams of protein, 4.0 grams of fat. / 100ml, equivalent to imported fresh milk.

The National Nutrition Survey is conducted every 10 years, implemented by the National Institute of Nutrition in cooperation with the General Statistics Office, and is supported by many international organizations.

According to Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen, this Census (2019 – 2020) has the largest scale ever in the country, with the participation of 22,400 households in 25 provinces, represents 6 ecological regions.

The research team has simultaneously collected indicators on anthropology, micronutrients, individual diets, as well as information on food security and food safety and hygiene.

Information at the Conference to announce the results of the National Nutrition Census held on the morning of April 15, Prof. Dr. Le Danh Tuyen, Director of the National Institute of Nutrition said, the census results showed that after 10 years Vietnam has achieved many achievements in nutrition such as growth in height, reduction of the rate of stunting and malnutrition …

However, we still face many challenges such as increasing the rate of overweight, obesity in children or rapid increase in meat consumption …

Prof. Le Danh Tuyen, Director of National Institute of Nutrition presented the results of the National Nutrition Survey 2019-2020 – Photo: Nguyen Lien

Seven main results are announced after the National Nutrition Census:

Meat consumption increased rapidly, the amount of vegetables and fruits consumed was small

According to survey results, the average energy in Vietnamese diets is 2,023 kcal / person / day, a slight increase compared to 1,925 kcal / person / day in 2010. Structure of energy generation from protein, lipids and glucide (2020) is: 15.8% – 20.2% – 64% (compared with total energy intake). This structure is considered balanced as recommended for the Vietnamese people.

The average level of consumption of vegetables and fruits per capita increased from 190.4g vegetables / person / day; 60.9g of ripe fruit / person / day (2010) to 231.0g of vegetables / person / day; 140.7g ripe fruit / person / day (2020). However, this consumption is only about 66.4 – 77.4% compared with the recommended requirement of the Nutrition Tower for adults.

Meanwhile, meat consumption increased rapidly: from 84g / person / day (average meat consumption nationwide in 2010) to 136.4g / person / day (by 2020); consumption in urban areas is higher, at 155.3g / person / day (2020).

Rice consumption tends to decrease. There is a growing trend in city schools to increase the consumption of soft drinks and fast foods.

The rate of stunting in children under 5 years old has reached average level

From the survey results, the rate of stunting (height / age) among children under 5 years old nationwide is 19.6%, which is ranked at the average level according to World Health Organization classification ( level below 20%).

Thus, up to now, Vietnam is on track to achieve the Global Nutrition Target (reducing 40% of child stunting malnutrition by 2025). However, there are still disparities between regions in terms of stunting rates of undernutrition. In rural and mountainous areas, this rate is still high.

Achieved height of Vietnamese youth

According to the research team, the height of Vietnamese people has significantly changed in the group of 18-year-old male youth (reaching 168.1cm in 2020, an increase of 3.7cm compared to 2010: 164.4cm), and young female (reaching 156 2cm in 2020, an increase of 1.4cm compared to 2010: 154.8cm).

The rate of overweight and obese children increases rapidly

The rate of overweight and obesity among school-age children (5-19 years old) increases from 8.5% in 2010 to 19% by 2020. In which, the rate of overweight and obesity in urban areas is 26, 8%, 18.3% in rural areas and 6.9% in mountainous areas.

The rate of stunting in school age is 14.8% (in 2010, this rate was 23.4%).

Deficiency of micronutrients

The results of the Census show that the lack of micronutrients of the Vietnamese people has improved significantly. The prevalence of preclinical vitamin A deficiency and anemia was mild in the public health significance (only for pregnant women, the rate of anemia was moderate). The incidence of preclinical vitamin A deficiency in children 6-59 months decreased. However, zinc deficiency remains high, especially in high-risk subjects such as children and mothers.

About zinc deficiency:Nationally, the rate of zinc deficiency in children aged 6-59 months decreased to 58%, in pregnant women decreased to 63.5%, but remained at a significant level of public health significance according to WHO assessment.

This rate is still very high for children aged 6-59 months in the Northern Uplands (67.7%) and Central Highlands (66.6%) and even higher for pregnant women in the mountainous areas. the North (81.9%) and the Central Highlands (63.9%).

Especially in the metropolitan area for the past 5 years (2015-2020), the rate of zinc deficiency in children 6-59 months old has a high level of public health significance (49.6%) and almost no improvement.

About Vitamin A deficiency: The prevalence of preclinical vitamin A deficiency in children aged 6-59 months across the country decreased at the mild community significance level (9.5%). This proportion is still highest in the Northern Uplands (13.8%) and the Central Highlands (11.0%).

The prevalence of preclinical vitamin A deficiency in children aged 5-9 years is 4.9%, at a mild level of public health significance as assessed by WHO.

Intervention of high dose vitamin A capsules has been implemented for many decades, but the incidence of preclinical vitamin A deficiency in children 6-59 months of age has remained mild and has decreased slowly in recent years.

About anemia: The rate of anemia among children aged 6-59 months nationwide decreased at the community significance level of 19.6%. This proportion is still highest in the Northern Uplands (23.4%) and the Central Highlands (26.3%).

Rate of anemia in children 5-9 years old (9.2%); in children 10-14 years old (8.4%), are at the level of mild public health significance according to WHO assessment.

Rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months

According to the collected data, the proportion of infants exclusively breastfed in the first 6 months improved significantly, increasing from 19.6% (2010) to 45.4% (2020). In which, in urban areas, this rate is 55.7%, rural areas 40.3% and mountainous rural areas 42.7%.

Knowledge and practice of food safety

The proportion of people with correct food safety knowledge and practices improved significantly: 35.8% of the respondents had good knowledge; 55.6% had average knowledge and only 8.6% had poor knowledge.

Regarding food poisoning treatment: 78% of respondents choose to send patients to medical facilities for treatment compared with 44.9% in 2010; The proportion of people having access to official food safety information has also doubled compared with the 2010 survey.

Assessing the results of the implementation of the National Strategy on Nutrition for the period 2011-2020, Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen said that Vietnam has basically achieved the goal of reducing the malnutrition of young mothers. children.

However, we have not yet met the indicators related to improving micronutrient deficiency, overweight and obesity control in adults and some indicators related to improving capacity to implement the Strategy. .

Mr. Tuyen emphasized that, with the results of the General Nutrition Survey announced this time, we will have orientations to develop the Strategy for the new phase, specifically:

– Increasing investment in essential nutritional interventions during the 1,000 golden days, including nutrition before / during pregnancy, nutrition for breastfeeding mothers, breastfeeding and complementary food. Integrate nutritional interventions in ensuring universal health coverage.

Efforts are being made to address the rapidly growing overweight and obesity among children, adolescents and adults. An approach to the entire food system is needed in response to urbanization and the challenges of the food system, helping people access a healthy and healthy diet. There is a need to improve legislation governing food and diet systems, in conjunction with targeted poverty reduction measures and changing eating behavior among specific population groups.

– Strategic investment and system restructuring are needed to achieve greater equity among ethnic minorities and mountainous areas. At the same time, there should be specific nutritional improvement targets for ethnic minorities and disadvantaged areas.

– It is necessary to shift nutrition from being seen as a medical issue to multidisciplinary engagement and participation. Integrating nutritional strategy into the mandate of other key industries can only change with institutional reform, allowing high-level convening, engagement, and coordination across sectors to address underlying causes. of different forms of malnutrition.
