Organic Agriculture: New trend to increase the value of agricultural products
The replication of organic fertilizer use models not only improves yields, help farmers save costs but also help improve the land, environmental Protection.
Improve productivity and income, Save costs while helping to improve the land, Environmental protection is the efficiency brought about by organic and organic production models that have been invested by Vinh Phuc province in the recent period. 2021-2025.
These days, Su Su field right at the foot of Tam Dao mountain in Ho Son commune, Tam Dao district, Vinh Phuc province is always busy with people gathering, transportation of rubber. From after the Lunar New Year until now, The price of chayote is always high, so the farmers here are very excited.
Ms. Le Thi Chin, Lang Ha village, Ho Son commune shared, with 2 more later than that 1 year participating in the organic model of Guilin Group with the standard “5 is not”: No herbicides, no pesticides, no preservatives, No growth stimulants, No harmful chemical residues. When on duty, Average 2 the day/time the family will harvest the tops of chayote.
Model of organic chayote growing in Vinh Phuc.
If the fields of chayote are cultivated by conventional methods, only 35 – 40kg/pole/time of picking, Mrs. Chin's field yields from 45 – 50kg. With average selling price 14.000 VND / kg, Mrs. Chin can collect tens of millions of dong each month, while each season of chayote that can be harvested lasts from 7 – 8 month.
“In the past, applying inorganic fertilizers and conventional fertilizers cost from 2 – 3 million/sao, even more organic fertilizer 1 million/sao but the selling price of chayote is always higher. Su Su sells at the market with many prices from 10.000 – 15.000 VND/kg but organically grown chayote always has the highest price. About fertilizing, Organic fertilizers are not as harmful as inorganic fertilizers, but plants grow well, good quality vegetables”, Mrs. Chin said.
Faced with the increasing demand for organic products by local people, the years, Vinh Phuc province has many policies to support people in safe production. Only for the year 2021, Vinh Phuc has provided funding 45 billion VND to support farmers to build safe farming models, organically, straw treatment, environment.
Though, According to Mr. Le Van Dung, Deputy Director of Department of Agriculture&Vinh Phuc Province Rural Development, to develop more and more organic agricultural products, have a place in the market, Ministry of Agriculture&Rural Development needs to authorize the Department of Agriculture&Rural rural areas stand out to grant planting area codes to production areas on a unified basis under the direction of the Ministry.
“Even products consumed in the domestic market need a growing area code, therefore, If the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development authorizes the Departments to implement, the progress will be many times faster.”, Mr. Dung suggested.
From the way of doing business in the near 20 last year, Mr. Khac Ngoc Ba, Deputy General Director of Guilin Group said that, Developing organic farming is an indispensable requirement to provide clean products, Safe for consumers, for the purpose of protecting public health; Orientation of organic production to create human values, is the trend of the future is also the goal of the enterprise.
“Enterprises are coordinating with many localities to transfer technology to farmers using probiotics, from which it is possible to produce organic fertilizer from the surrounding agricultural by-products that are being wasted. If any locality has leaders and professions interested, Organic production models will develop quickly and have strong spillovers.”, Mr. Ba said.
According to experts, in the context of fertilizer prices increasing to 200% then the price of organic fertilizer will only increase 20% – 30%, Therefore, the replication of organic fertilizer use models not only helps farmers save costs, but also improves the soil., environmental Protection.
