Agriculture will not be struggling to plant any crops, What children to raise

Restructuring agriculture “It is not about determining what tree to plant, What children to raise because this will be corrected by the market, decision”, according to the new Minister Le Minh Hoan.

Minister of Agriculture & Rural Development Le Minh Hoan responded to his interview VnExpress of his plans for the new position.

– What will be your priority to direct in the near future??

– Term 5 The year was thought to be long, but the world is constantly changing, Everything changes rapidly over the years, month, even weekly, daily. So, I think I have to act now, turn new challenges into thrust, seize the opportunity in time, mobilize thinking resources inside and outside the apparatus to contribute to bringing agriculture to continue taking off; the countryside changes in a modern direction with rich identity, improve the farmer's quality of life.

Industrial revolution 4.0 is already, is and will happen at an ever higher rate. So, The first thing I care about is that Vietnamese agriculture doesn't suffer “miss the train”, And we do not judge agricultural growth solely by productivity, Quantity, it must be based on the built-in values, go into depth, have sustainability.

I think that there must be solutions to the knowledge economy to penetrate agricultural production and each farmer. The circular economy must develop further, turn agricultural by-products into products of higher added value. Value chain of agricultural products must be formed, instead of a vulnerable chain due to conflicts of interests and market events.

I hope in the near future, Vietnamese agriculture will successfully create a brand of clean agricultural products, safe and high quality. For this goal to come true, then effort, an individual's single desire, even being in the head of agriculture won't be enough, but need a hand, commitment of an entire ecosystem, including the participation of farmers, producer, enterprise, institute, school, the scientist, including media…

– Used to be Secretary of Dong Thap, How he will bring successful local experiences into the national agricultural development?

– Ago 5 year, Dong Thap goes into agricultural restructuring with a consistent viewpoint: This is not a matter of determining what tree to plant, What children to raise, how much planting, how much to feed, for this the market corrects, decision. But whatever you plant, how much planting; What children to raise, How much farming is based on three core factors is “co-operate, link, market”.

Co-operate show through the farmers, production facilities removed together “knot” fragmentation, small and small through collective economic forms, Cooperative, Farmers' Assembly… Whereby, the farmers are not out of the question, they are encouraged to join together to take advantage of the power of the masses, Cut the cost, increase quality, Applying the results of science and technology, science and technology.

Link is the connection between producers and businesses. It is vital because farmers cannot go into production without knowing where the market is, how much do you need, need products with regulations, standards like. These things businesses are very knowledgeable through negotiation channels, capture information. Knowing the market's requirements through information sharing, linkage mechanism, People will be more active in production.

Market decide both producer and consumer, So farmers and businesses need to define the market target as the top priority. Production cannot be optimized when output is ambiguous, heavily puzzling, depends on market luck.

The key is to choose your target. The previous goal was to focus on supply, try to produce more output because we think that the higher the yield, the higher the farmer's profit, the growth of the agricultural sector was greater. However, The market economy does not have that definition. Little production but quality, higher value, low cost, still have higher profits. For example, ST25 rice compared with other varieties, the yield is not as high, but its value is very high.

– What direction will agricultural restructuring be when no longer identified “What tree to plant, What children to raise”, Sir?

– We must move from a productive mindset to an agrarian economic mindset. Opinion “agriculture is an economic branch, not just pure production” will activate a variety of new approaches, add value integration, opens up many opportunities for development.

Besides that, agriculture must integrate multi-value, not unit value anymore because buyers now buy goods also care about value, the utility of the goods, product, not just the price. The market has changed, transfer from demand “satiate” sang “eat it well”, “eat clean, safe, Many nutrients”. Therefore, Production also has to divide many streams according to the needs of society. Besides solving the problem for the majority, we must respond towards “personalization” The needs of the user group have different needs.

We are assigned to the research department, creating chain of goods in each commune, The state will support the farmers, production households, preliminary processing house cooperatives, conservator, technologies, suitable technique.

– We want all farmers to be well trained, Training certificate issued. “Professionalization” Agriculture is an urgent requirement and helps farmers to develop more sustainably, limit market risk.

We cannot immediately have a roadmap. State must have the responsibility to support training, training, training for farmers. Dong Thap has opened such training classes, Farmers can go to school, know what is food safety and hygiene, the law of supply and demand, Sustainable Development, both production and environmental protection…

Someone will say “I didn't ask the government for anything, words I eat, hole I bear, Why does the state force me to do this, like that?”. But what if the driver has to go to school, examination, license exam because their actions affect the safety of road users, Farmers are also involved in food safety and hygiene, affect public health, impact on the natural environment.

Unsafe food due to the misuse of pesticides by farmers, The first and foremost harm is the health of the producer, consumer health, at the same time unbalance the ecosystem, the natural environment, impact on biodiversity – That is a valuable resource of the whole community, for generations of people, not just one.

So, I sincerely hope you all understand this training certification story. Knowledge is a way to help people protect themselves, responsible farming, thereby creating the brand of Vietnamese agricultural products.

– Is the person who makes the product, But the farmer is weak, the season is off, output is not stable. What do you say about this?

– The farmer needs to realize that his life is up to him. Want it, The farmer must have a strong will, positive thinking, instead of coal, responsibility or rely on relying on. The current agriculture cannot follow the harmonious natural law, “looks heaven, looks land, looks cloudy” again, because agriculture farmers are facing climate change like extreme weather, greenhouse effect, depletion of water resources.

To create tremendous added value instead of progressive increase in productivity, Quantity, farmers must have knowledge corresponding to the knowledge economy. To optimize my life, The farmer must be equipped with commercial skills, technology, Biological engineering, not merely production skills. To be able to enhance their position in society, the farmer has to get out of the way of thinking only knowing “Get smart industrious”, but must develop with confidence, assert yourself, actively integrate into the community.

Besides that, the whole system must have many programs to support training, Farmers training new stage. Thinking “Each district is a fortress”; “The bright lights every man, Everyone's fields work” need to be radically changed, because only when linked together, The new farmer is no longer in a weak position.

The state will also have solutions to build “value chain of the industry”, “industry ecosystems”; Call on more investors to participate in these “Public affiliation cluster – Agriculture”. Besides that, “supply data – demand for agricultural products” will be collected and transparently progressed to the formation “agricultural product trading floor” under the support of digital technology.

When complete data is available, timely, exactly, The supplier and consumer business will have points that meet in quantity, price, time, payment methods… Policy-making and enforcement agencies also rely on this data for analysis, adjust policies to support production and development, impact the market properly, flexible, timely.

Contribution of Biotech crops to Agriculture in Vietnam

Day 7/4, At Hanoi, Seed Trade Association (VSTA) with Central Vietnam Farmers Association (HND) and International Organization and Application and Acquisition of Biotechnology in Agriculture (ISAAA) has co-organized the workshop with the topic: "Contribution of Biotechnology Crops to Agriculture in Vietnam". With the participation of representatives of state management agencies, the scientist, Representatives of the Department of Agriculture of the provinces, international experts, domestic and foreign companies, The workshop is a forum for sharing information on current status of biotech crop application (CNSH) globally as well as in Vietnam and discuss economic impacts in particular, The society and environment of biotech maize follows 5 year of domestic farming license.

Opening speech of the workshop, Mr. Tran Xuan Dinh, vice president, General Secretary of the Vietnam Seed Trade Association said: “In the first decades of the century 21, to the agricultural sector, we see a scientific breakthrough, especially biotechnology with the invention of genetic technology, gene technology, microbiological technology ... Many cultivars created by biotechnology are present in Vietnam, Help farmers transform crop structure, pet, Increase income by increasing yield and reducing the cost of pesticides. ”

Biotechnology (CNSH) Application in agriculture is considered one of the outstanding scientific achievements of the last century, So far it is being proved superior by increasing global application data as well as economic impacts., positive society and environment that technology brings to farmers, consumers and communities. As reported by ISAAA, with more 3 African country, The number of countries cultivating biotech crops has increased 29 in the year 2019. Inside, 5 The leading country with the largest acreage of biotech crops is the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Canada and India. Estimate, approx 1,95 billion people, equivalent to 26% World Population, to benefit from biotechnology in the year 2019.

Dr. Rhodora R. Aldemita, South East Asia Regional Director cum Director of the ISAAA Global Knowledge Center for Biotechnology added: "Year 2019, in total 190,4 Millions of hectares of biotech crops cultivated make an important contribution to addressing food security issues, Sustainability, mitigate climate change as well as improve the livelihoods of more 17 Millions of farmers applying biotechnology with their families globally. Vietnam is one 3 the country has a double-digit growth in acreage under the biotech crops along with the Philippines and Colombia ”.

Global analysis of biotech crop impacts, Dr. Graham Brookes - PG Economic Institute has cited the data in the most recent study published year 2020: “Up to the year 2018, The total income increase goes to farmers cultivating biotech crops 19 billion US dollars – that is, for every US dollar of additional investment in biotech seeds, the extra profit is 4,42 U.S. dollar. Besides that, year alone 2018, Biotech crops also help to limit the total amount of CO2 released into the environment approximately 23 Billion kilograms is equivalent to elimination 15.3 million cars circulating on the inner road 1 year". Theo TS. Graham, Farmers, especially smallholder farmers in developing countries, benefit more clearly from biotech crops., not just from increased crop yields (from 10 next 16,5% Depending on the type of crop), profit increased (average approx 103 USD / ha) but also helps to reduce the amount of pesticides used, thereby reducing negative impacts on the environment 19% (according to EIQ index).

In Viet Nam, Biotech crops have been officially licensed from commercial cultivation 2014-2015 on corn plants. Maize is also one of the main crops in the agricultural production structure and Vietnam is also one of the most cultivated maize countries in the world.. The introduction of biotech varieties at that time was seen as one of the important tools to help continuously improve productivity and quality of production., value added and made corn farmers more profitable, thereby strengthening Vietnam's capacity to secure supplies for the domestic food and feed chain.

Year 2019, Total cultivated area of ​​biotech maize approx 92.000 hectares, account for about 10% total corn area in the country. Especially, double-digit acreage growth rates in recent years suggest that farmers' adoption of this technology is increasing.. Namely 2015, The application rate remains modest at approx 3,500 Occupied hectares have not arrived yet 1% total area; Until now, the application area has increased 26 times. Only compare the stage alone 2018 – 2019, the growth rate is 86%.

In the year 2019 – 2020, Vietnam Seed Trade Association in collaboration with Institute of PG Economics (England) conducted a study evaluating and analyzing the effects of biotech maize on the following herbicide tolerance and insect resistance transgenic traits. 5 year of cultivation. The study conducted interviews with maize farmers (both conventional and biotech maize varieties) in key corn producing regions of the country. This is also the first farmer-level study in Vietnam on biotech crops.

Ministry of Agriculture&Rural development investigates organic agricultural production models in Ca Mau

Day 5 and 6/4, The mission is led by Mr. Tran Thanh Nam, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development was the leader of the delegation for the survey, capture information on some rice production models, organic rice stage 2020 – 2030 in Ca Mau province. Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Van Su received and worked with the delegation.

The afternoon of the day 5/4, The team surveyed the actual organic rice production model at Vien Phu Company Limited, An Phu hamlet, Khanh An commune, U Minh district. This is one of the largest organic farms in Southeast Asia, with the total area 317 he has. The unit has been maintaining organic product certification from the United States and Europe by Control Union since years 2012 and Hoa Sua Foods organic food chain.

Vien Phu's products have been provided to consumers in fastidious markets such as: Brother, from, Singapore…

Ca Mau has conditions, advantages that many other places do not have or have to make a multi-year switch from using chemistry to organic.

Types of agricultural production today such as: shrimp farming under the mangrove canopy (Forest – shrimp), shrimp farming intercropped with rice (shrimp – paddy), Rice cultivation and other medicinal crops have great potential to be produced according to organic agricultural standards. Ca Mau has had initial successes in agricultural production in this form.

About fisheries, from year 2016 now, shrimp area – certified forest 19.000 ha of shrimp farming according to standards (Naturland, ME, Seafood Watch, Manrove, Cannada…), 600 ha certified ASC.

About shrimp – rice combination, year 2020 has built a shrimp production model according to Vietnamese organic standards with scale 50 ha in Tri Must commune, Thoi Binh district.

About cultivation, from year 2018, Ca Mau agriculture sector has directed the units to coordinate with 5 company connected with 4 cooperatives link organic rice production and consumption in the province at scale 900 he has, provided above 3.000 tons of commodity rice reaching organic standards.

Morning 6/4, The delegation continued to have a visit to the model of rice production – organic shrimp in the cooperative (HTX) Tri Luc shrimp rice, Tri Luc commune, Thoi Binh district. This is one of the most effective cooperatives of Ca Mau province in the agricultural sector. Inside, models of clean rice production, Organic rice has been gaining traction, participation of farmers in the area.

After surveying models in U Minh and Thoi Binh districts, Deputy Minister Tran Thanh Nam has suggested a number of problems in organic agricultural production (NNHC) for the province.

Many members of the delegation had positive reviews on organic rice production, organic shrimp from Ca Mau. However, according to members of the working group, want to develop effectively, attract people to invest, There is a need to come up with a standard organic production process. Want to produce, organic rice cultivation, organic shrimp farming with a large investment, the output price must be higher, for farmers to see the benefits, thereby boldly converting.

Businesses need to accompany people in organic production, need to attract more businesses to invest, in order to avoid the risk of monopolizing input supply as well as purchasing output products.

On the provincial side, according to the plan, in year 2021, Department of Agriculture&Rural development focuses on developing industrial processing: building organic rice shrimp models at scale 50 ha according to Vietnamese standard TCVN 11041-8:2018 in Thoi Binh district; to develop organic rice material areas with a large scale 1.500 ha according to international standards and 50 ha according to Vietnamese standard TCVN 11041:2017 focus on Thoi Binh district, U Minh and Tran Van Thoi; build scale organic vegetable production models 5 he has; building a model of organic sapodilla banana cultivation at a large scale 5 he has, focus in U Minh district and develop pig raising model, farm organic poultry, scale 60 pig and 3.000 Cock, focus on U Minh district.

To perform, Ca Mau reviewed and adjusted the planning to integrate NNHC production zoning into the provincial master plan.. Identify crops, pet, Aquaculture has advantageous potentials, has high economic value to put into production NNHC.

Human resource training, promote the application of science and technology to industrial processing, construction of production processes, Process agricultural products to meet domestic and international standards for organic certification.

Supporting businesses to build brands for shrimp, paddy, organic bananas, market development and promotion of NNHC products. Develop policies to support the development of industrialization, urges investors to come to Ca Mau for high-tech agricultural production, producing NNHC according to long-term orientation.

To develop NNHC of the province in the coming time, Provincial functional branches also make recommendations to the Ministry of Agriculture&Early Rural Development guides the planning criteria, Organic production zoning for localities to review the integration of the province's general planning. Ministry of Agriculture&Rural Development is supporting Ca Mau province to develop projects for developing NNHC for aquaculture and cultivation..

Growing organic vegetables brings high income for the people

In Dinh Du commune, Van Lam (hung Yen), Hai's family has bravely invested 200 million construction 800 m2 is a net house to grow vegetables organically, profit each month 7-10 million dong.

The current, capture the needs of many state employees, outside working hours at work, still enlist planting, trading in some safe vegetables and fruits, to increase income. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hai is from Dinh Du commune, Van Lam (hung Yen) is one of them.

She subleased the village's cultivated fields and borrowed it 200 million dong, build 800 m2 of net house, Membrane houses for growing organic vegetables. Results from over a year now, besides the source of vegetables for family needs, Every month, her family makes a profit 7-10 million VND from cultivating clean vegetables of all kinds (All investment costs have been subtracted, including depreciation of infrastructure construction).

According to Hai, to ensure that there are clean vegetables to harvest every month, She chose to cultivate short-term leafy vegetables such as, improved chip, cabbage, sweet cabbage, Spikes reform (approx 20-30 collection date 1 litter, depending on the type of vegetable), and only fertilize vegetables with decomposed organic fertilizers, Homemade compost water.

But the difficulty of these vegetables is high susceptibility to pests (mainly earthworms and bugs). Worms cause year-round damage in the underground part of the vegetable plant, because the mustard roots are quite sweet. The most damaging outbreaks occur in the month 1 -2.

To prevent worms, periodic 3-4 batch of vegetables, Hai again sprinkle lime powder on the field, then plow and flip the ground, Then put the water to soak 2 day, Exhausted and dried the field for planting next batch of vegetables. Also when testing found the soil pH < 6 then add more powdered lime, Helps reduce acidity and prevent vegetable worms (Soil pH meters are easy to buy on the market).

With bugs and other worms, Hai can control with homemade pesticides, include: 1kg of chili + 1kg of garlic + 1kg of ginger + 5 yeast fruit + 5 liter of light wine, Soak in a glass jar. About more 1 month, get out mixed with clean water (ratio 1/1.000), Spray the vegetable field continuously 7 day, since the vegetable plant has 2 real leaves (spray 1 1 time / day, early morning or cool afternoon).

Fertilizing vegetables also do the same: Buy 5 yeast fruit, 1kg of diameter, 0,5kg of rice bran, 3 yogurt box, 3 digestive yeast packages (kind used for children) and 10 liters of filtered water. Soakable 7 days then add 10 liter of filtered water again, from 7-10 the next day, Grandchildren to water evenly on the bed surface before sowing vegetables, will help restore beneficial microorganisms, inhibits harmful microorganisms, increase soil porosity.

At the same time, Ms. Hai also soaked soybean seeds, Freshwater fish waste with super phosphate and sliced ​​banana stem, After he got water to irrigate the vegetables.

With organic fertilizer, Hai only buys chicken or bird droppings, after mixing with Trichoderma preparation (ratio 1/1.000), and then packed in bagasse, anaerobic incubation 45-60 New day to take out to fertilize the field of vegetables.

Her experience shows that Hai, Leafy vegetables grown in a greenhouse will be shortened 1/4 growth time compared to sowing in the wild, help increase production, increase production, increase salary.

Although vegetables grown in the above-mentioned way are not as fat and beautiful as vegetables grown with chemical fertilizers, But thanks to the good reputation, so where the product is made, is always ordered by everyone close to them, at a higher price 1,5 market sale.

Effective microbiological management can be the key to efficient farming

New research shows that if the aquaculture industry can take advantage of microbial dynamics in fish farms, Producers can see major improvements in farming efficiency.

The development of effective microbial management strategies to reduce disease outbreaks in aquaculture is often hindered by limited knowledge of microorganisms in shrimp and fish farms.. New research published by the Center for Microbial Ecology and Technology (CMET, Ghent University) in collaboration with INVE Aquaculture, Benchmark (BAN) Showcases the opportunity to achieve livestock efficiency through a comprehensive understanding of the microbiota (microbiome).

Mr. Peter De Schryver, Team Leader for Health and Environment at INVE (BAN) and co-author of the study: “In aquaculture, The presence of bacteria in the culture water affects the nutrient cycle, metabolic waste decomposition, digestion and animal health. Therefore, the management of these bacteria is an important tool in shaping the overall health of the system ”.

A well-functioning microbial community in the water is very important, and abrupt disruption of the microbiota should also be avoided (a process known as "biological disturbance"). By accurately assessing bacteria, it allows companies to begin tracking changes and linking this to the animal's health status. Future, This can also allow producers to predict when their animals' health may be compromised.

First technology of its kind

The researchers focused on white-legged shrimp farming water (L. vannamei). They assessed the composition and dynamics of the microbiome using a combination of established molecular and novel flow cytometry analysis methods., allows the measurement and enumeration of all bacteria, but also algae and sometimes even viruses, This differs from conventional diagnostics focusing on a single organism at a single moment.

commented lead author Jasmine Heyse of Ghent University, “We have been monitoring the contributions of microorganisms from external sources, Includes fresh or dried food products, into the culture water. This is the first time these contributions have been quantified.”.

Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the product

Ruben Props, commented also at Ghent University: “The application of this new flow cytometry method means we can accurately assess changes in the microbiome associated with the use of our products.. I believe this opens up new opportunities for product providers like INVE (Benchmark Advanced Nutrition) as well as shrimp and fish producers know that the product they are using is having the desired effect ”.

“Through CMET's academic research as well as our upcoming UGent spin-off company KYTOS, We are continuing to generate larger data sets that will allow us to pinpoint the microbiological markers that determine animal survival and health.. This will be a step change in farm management.”, Ruben adds.

Peter concluded, An excellent partnership between the aquaculture industry and academia and shows with the right tools and knowledge, We can make great strides in improving the health and efficiency of aquaculture systems.
