(HBO) – As an agriculture-based hamlet, Dong Suong in Thanh Lap commune (Luong Son district) has transferred 20.6 hectares of land, including over 20 hectares of agricultural land, to build factories to catch up with the industrialisation process.

Without plenty of land and labour, farmers in Dong Suong have actively studied the market and applied modern science-technology into production.

Farmers in Dong Suong hamlet, Thanh Lap commune (Luong Son) harvest organic vegetables for sales in the market.

In 2009, the Agricultural Development Denmark Asia (ADDA) provided agricultural training support for farmers in the commune. The association of farmers in Thanh Lap established a group of organic vegetable production with eight members on a model area of 3,511 square meters.

Recognising the sustainable efficiency and environmental protection of organic vegetable production, the People’s Committee of Thanh Lap commune has assigned the association of farmers to coordinate to provide vocational training for youngsters and encourage them to set up groups.

By 2016, the commune established five groups in Dong Suong and Song hamlets with 33 members, growing organic vegetables on 2.85 hectares.

Since 2012, these groups have been operating effectively, bringing high incomes for farmers.

To utilise land for production development, the association of farmers encouraged households in Dong Suong to take part in building models for land management, especially in land consolidation.

Taking Dong Suong organic agriculture cooperative as the core, Dong Suong has formed large fields and seasonal production. The movement of encouraging farmers to do business and develop production has been promoted.

Economic development models have become more diverse, including cultivation, livestock and agricultural services. In order to have capital for production, members from the association of farmers have joined the group of loans.

They are entrusted to borrow loans from the Quan Trang branch of the Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development. To date, the debt of farmers in Dong Suong hamlet was estimated at 1.5 billion VND.

Annually, 85 percent of household members register for effective production and business. 55 percent of good production and business households have been recognised. More and more farmers have income of 100 million VND – 1 billion VND per year./.

The effectiveness of professional models of association and group in Tan Lac district

The lives of the ethnic minority farmers in Tan Lac district have gradually improved thanks to the new directions in agricultural production. This is a testament to the collective strength fostered through the professional associations and groups implemented by various levels of the district’s Farmers’ Union.

Building the brand of Muong village clean food

With the motto the "product quality comes first,” after nearly one year of establishment and operation, Muong village’s Clean Food Agricultural and Commercial Cooperative, located in Cau Hamlet, Hung Son Commune (Kim Boi district), has launched reputable, high-quality agricultural products to the market that are well-received by consumers. The products such as Muong village’s pork sausage, salt-cured chicken, and salt-cured pork hocks have gradually carved out a place in the market and they are on the path to obtaining the OCOP certification.

Hoa Binh ethnic farmers join forces through collective economic models

In the past, the phrase "bumper harvest, rock-bottom prices" was a familiar refrain for Vietnamese farmers engaged in fragmented, small-scale agriculture. But today, a new spirit is emerging across rural areas of Hoa Binh province - one of collaboration, organisation, and collective economic models that provide a stable foundation for production.

Maintaining farming area codes: Key to bringing Hoa Binh farm produce to global market

Maintaining growing area codes and packing facility codes in accordance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for agricultural products to be eligible for export. Recently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Hoa Binh province has intensified technical supervision of designated farming areas and packing facilities to safeguard the "green passport" that enables its products to access international markets.
