(HBO) - Noong Luong commune was the first area being selected by Mai Chau district to experiment with the model of cabbage growing in the direction of food safety and consumption linkage.

the households in Noong Luong commune (Mai Chau) grow cabbage in the off-seasonal crop brings higher economic efficiency than some other kinds of vegetables.

The pilot model is financially supported by the production support program of the Board of Ethnic Minority and Agricultural – Forestry Encouragement Station, which is the implementing unit.

Participating in the model, Mr. Ngo Van Phuong in Pieng Dau village has planted 500 cabbages. Mr. Phuong said that with other families, his family already did farming and planting since March. Before, the farmers cultivated many kinds of vegetables, such as lettuces, peanuts and maize, but since they changed to plant off- seasonal cabbages, they have gained more income. Some households plant 300-500 cabbages such as Mr. Ha Van Dat’s households in Pieng Dau village, Ms. Ngan Thi Hoan in Noong Luong village.

It is known that, to implement linking the planting and consumption tasks of off seasonal cabbages in the off-seasoned crop, more than 70 households in Noong Luong and Pieng Dau villages have signed a contract with the enterprises for output guarantees, such as Tam Hoa Cooperative (Tan Son commune - Mai Chau) and Luong Phu Cooperative (Tan Lac) with the number of 32 thousand cabbages. In the implementation process, the participating households are trained and guided about technology. The fertilizer resource is microbiological fertilizer compost used in safe farming. Through the conclusion, the whole crop has 26,000 cabbages, equivalent to over 80% of the total number of cabbages for harvest. Especially, with the linkage model, products made by farmers were purchased totally at a price of 4,500 VND / kg, which made the average income of 185 million VND / hectare. After excluding the cost of production including seed, fertilizer, each hectare of planting cabbages brought the interest of about 120 million VND.

Mr. Vi Van Dang, the Head of the Agricultural – Forestry Encouragement Station of Mai Chau district said that the model can be planted in 2 crops / year, from March to June and from July to September every year. Through the initial efficiency of the model, the farmers' perceptions of crop restructure, the value added per unit of cultivated area were raised. This is also one of the models that help to promote and enhance the value chain where the objective of crop restructuring is progressing.
