(HBO) – After two years of implementation, the medicinal plant cultivation model in Da Bac district’s Yen Hoa commune has brought about practical economic outcomes. With its potential, the model is planned to be replicated in the coming time.
The
model of growing organic medicinal plants in Yen Hoa commune (Da Bac) initially
bring about practical results.
Realising such benefits, locals have so far created favourable conditions for
the cooperative to lease over 11 hectares of land to expand its cultivation
area. The cooperative creates regular jobs for 14 local workers, with an
average income of 5 – 6 million VND per person per month.
Determining that developing sustainable agriculture requires organic
production, right from the beginning, the cooperative has cultivated its
medicinal plant garden completely without using chemical fertilizers and
pesticides. Instead, organic fertilizers and herbal pesticides have been
ultilised.
Luong Van Xung, Chairman of the Yen Hoa People's Committee, said medicinal
plants are suitable for local soil conditions. In addition to the leased land,
there are many areas potential for further cultivation expansion. He also pledged the local authorities’ support for businesses to invest in new
models serving socio-economic development.
In the coming time, Da Bac aims to expand its areas for organic medicinal
plants to 25 – 30ha by 2025. For the target, the district will build mechanisms
and issue policies to attract resources from organisations and individuals for
the development of the plantations and processing technologies. The cultivation
of native medicinal plants is encouraged./.
