Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Dung directs the teleconference.

During the 2018-2019 winter-spring crop, the province cultivated about 67,000ha, 1.3 percent more than the plan. Of this, the area under grain food crops reached 34,600 ha with an output of 175,000 tonnes, surpassing the target by5.6 percent.

Building on the past achievements, the provincial People’s Committee directed that localities should actively expand the cultivation of plants with high economic value, grow varieties of clear origin and high output, contributing to successfully realising the 2019 agricultural production plan.

In animal husbandry and vet, further attention should be paid to cattle and fowl farming. In aquaculture, they were asked to continue tapping water surface in hydropower plants’ reservoirs, and raise fishes in cages on rivers and lakes. In forestry, they must continue planting forests, strive to plant more than 3,000ha of concentrated forests, and keep the forest coverage of over 51 percent. In particular, the provincial People’s Committee requested localities pay attention to irrigation and disaster prevention, strengthen the management of agricultural materials quality, and prevent the use of banned substances in production.

Concluding the event, Dung suggested that the districts and Hoa Binh city should take more drastic actions to restructure agriculture in tandem with new-style rural development, including switching to the cultivation of plants with higher values, multiplying the production – consumption model in value chain, and strengthening the use of advanced technology and mechanisation in production./.
