In the context of difficulties due to US tariff policies applicable to goods exported from Vietnam, day 6/4, Dong Nai Breeding Association There is a document to the Prime Minister and the Governor of the State Bank, Proposing solutions to promote the import of agricultural products from America Before the US context announced pressure reciprocal tax For goods from Vietnam with tax rates 46%.
According to Dong Nai Breeding Association, The current, US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Deploying the GSM-102 program, is a program that provides credit guarantee to encourage the export of US agricultural goods with late payment interest rate of only 1%/year.
While, In Vietnam, have 6 The bank is allowed to participate in the GSM-102 program, But interest rates for these banks are not reasonable, leading to the implementation is not effective.
Dong Nai Livestock Association proposes the Prime Minister and the Governor of the State Bank to be interested, Consider creating conditions for banks to guarantee GSM-102 interest rate from 1-1,5% To reduce the burden on import businesses.
This solution not only helps reduce costs for import enterprises but also supports Vietnam's livestock industry to improve competitiveness.
USDA's GSM-102 program provides credit guarantee with deferred payment interest rate of only 1%/year, create opportunities for Vietnamese businesses to import agricultural products such as soybeans, Dry soybeans, corn and ddgs (dried wine) from America, With the import value of billions of dollars. These are items that are playing an important role in the livestock industry. However, The issue of high interest rates from Vietnamese banks participating in this program has made the implementation is not really effective.
Besides, America is also a source of high quality pig breeds. According to estimates, Each year a breeding pig farm in Vietnam is imported 250 The breed of the pig (GGP) close value 0,5 million dollars.
Expected, New EU regulations 6 come here, Dong Nai Breeding Association will be with some farms to the US, Sign a contract to import breeding pigs from AG World Company and cooperate with Waldo Company to develop the livestock joint venture model. Besides, The Association also promotes the import of nutritional products from International Nutrition (America) In order to improve the quality of pork, Using electric heating bulb/photography is the best, and livestock environment in Vietnam.
However, A noteworthy point is the decree 73/2025 recent, has reduced tax rates for some agricultural products from the US, Including corn and dried soybean oil from the level 1-2% down 0%.
“Import tax on agricultural products from the US, If accompanied by a support policy under the GSM-102 program, it will create conditions for businesses to increase agricultural products from the US..
This not only contributes to Vietnam's trade balance – America but also helps reduce costs for Vietnam's livestock industry, Help improve the quality of animal husbandry and improve the competitiveness of the industry in integration”, Dong Nai Breeding Association commented.
Dong Nai Breeding Association said that, Facing the current difficult situation, Especially when the US is expected to apply reciprocal tax on goods imported from Vietnam 46% on 9/4 next, Dong Nai Breeding Association urgently hopes the Prime Minister and the Governor of the State Bank are interested, Timely direct the importing enterprises in the industry to participate in the implementation of the GSM-102 program with the appropriate interest rate 1-1,5%.
At the same time, The Association also pledged to continue looking for reliable partners to import goods from the US, and desire to receive accompanying, Share from Vietnamese banks to support the industry Agriculture Overcoming difficulties in this challenging period.

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.

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.
Monitoring the organic growth of chayote in Tam Dao.
Ms. Pham Thi Vuong, Former Director of the Institute of Plant Protection said:, In fact, producing models of organic fertilizer use in many localities has significantly increased land use efficiency, The density of worms in the soil increased, strains of beneficial microorganisms also increased, reduced heavy metal content, The product has no fertilizer residue, need a good irrigation system and from year five.
“From the reality, the model of organically growing chayote in Ho Son, originally only 1 households participate but only after 1 year the area has increased 20 he has. Organic farming, farmers will be 1 letter “L” is profit, and 2 letter “H” it is happiness and revival for not overusing inorganic fertilizers, pesticides, consumers can eat clean products, safe", Ms. Vuong shared.
In the Directive on economical use of fertilizers, Balanced and efficient, Ministry of Agriculture&Rural Development proposed to the People's Committees of the provinces, Cities directly under the Central Government direct the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development&Training training, the media, instructing people to use fertilizers in a balanced and effective manner, Intensify production, Use organic fertilizers, replace inorganic fertilizers with organic fertilizers in the appropriate ratio.
For businesses that make commitments on production, Use a balanced fertilizer, saving, efficiency in agricultural production; actively participate in production links to support, encourage farmers to increase the use of organic fertilizers..
