Lac Thuy district has actively transferred and applied scientific and technological advances into production, as well as promoted innovation to serve industrialisation and modernisation, towards boosting hi-tech and sustainable agriculture production.
The Truong Thinh Hi-Tech Agriculture Investment JSC in Thong Nhat
commune applies scientific and technological advances in melon cultivation.
The greenhouse melon cultivation model of the Truong Thinh Hi-Tech Agriculture
Investment JSC in Thong Nhat commune is one of the agricultural models that
effectively use scientific and technological advances in a closed
production system, which results in higher economic efficiency and quality
compared to traditional farming methods.
Before harvest, technical staff check the quality and sweetness of each melon,
then attach a traceability label with a QR code. Currently, the company’s
melons are primarily sold in Hanoi, Hai Phong, and Thai Binh markets.
In recent years, the People's Committee of Lac Thuy district has directed local
agencies, businesses, and cooperatives to research and apply technological
solutions and innovative ideas in production and business to improve the
quality and productivity of products and goods.
In the 2021 - 2024 period, the district supported 13 products to participate in
the provincial The One Community One Product (OCOP) programme. It also
coordinated with the provincial Department of Science and Technology to
organise a training course on applying the provincial traceability system for
50 local production and business households.
Since 2021, the district People's Committee has assisted the implementation of
scientific and technological models in the locality.
In addition, every year, the district Agricultural Service Centre conducts
experimental cultivation models for new rice and corn varieties with a budget
of about 200 million VND.
The models prove that the application of science and technology in agricultural
production is a decisive factor in improving crop yields, livestock
productivity, and the value of products, thus bringing higher economic benefits
to local farmers, and reduce environmental pollution.
The science and technology transfer models being implemented and expanded are
also contributing to a 15-20% increase in economic efficiency compared to
traditional agricultural production methods.
Vice Chairman of the district People's Committee said that to further scale up
production models applied scientific and technological advancements, the local
authority has directed localities to continue promoting awareness among the
people to change farming practices and introduce high-yield and high-quality
crops into production.
Attention will be paid to developing high-tech agriculture, investing in
technological innovation, and promoting value chain-oriented production forms
in the direction of linking organisations and farmers to improve production
efficiency, productivity, quality of crops and livestock, and ensure food
safety and hygiene, Van said.
