Comrade Ly Hai Vinh, Vice Chairman of the District People's Committee said: “In recent years, thanks to a series of policies to support mechanization in agricultural production, the number of machines in the field has increased sharply. There are not only tillers, transplanters, harvesters, but also many more advanced machines. With the goal of investing in mechanization as the basis to support the breakthrough development of the district's Agriculture sector; Mechanization will contribute to supplementing labor force for agriculture, ensuring seasonality, increasing land use coefficient, reducing costs and increasing income for farmers. Appreciating that, the district also focused on mobilizing socialization and propagating people in the introduction of mechanization into production; improve the expertise and professionalism of the grassroots agricultural extension team and accompany the people in all stages in order to build proficiency and new habits in production…”.
In order to self-serve production needs, over the years, people have actively invested in purchasing equipment and materials for agriculture and forestry. Thereby, production means and materials are gradually mechanized in production stages, specifically: The whole district currently has more than 4.380 machines and equipment for agricultural production, mainly tilling machines and planting machines. , tending, harvesting, processing animal feed... In the tillage stage, the rate of mechanization is estimated at over 95%, in the stage of harvesting and processing food at 85%. With the synchronous and effective implementation of mechanisms and policies to promote the development of agricultural and forestry production, especially promoting the application of science and technology to the production of valuable agricultural and forestry products. The annual growth rate of aquatic products is quite good. The average value of harvested products/ha of arable land in 2022 will reach VND 55,2/60 million, reaching 92% of the proposed resolution, equaling 103,7% compared to the beginning of the term.

Mr. Hoang Van Luong, Chairman of Phu Nam Commune People's Committee said: “In recent years, the commune has strongly implemented the transformation of crop structure, bringing science and technology into production. Currently, the whole commune has 432 plows and harrows; 282 rice thresher machines; 428 grass generators… With the introduction of mechanization into production, crop productivity has been constantly increasing over the years, specifically: The total annual planting area is over 600 hectares, the output is estimated at 2.400 tons; the average value of 1 hectare of cultivated land is estimated at 54 million VND; average income is 19,6 million VND/person/year… Along with that, people build their brands and promote local strengths in the implementation of winter crops with over 56,3 hectares, the yield is estimated at 64,2 quintals/ha, output is estimated at 361,4 tons. The area of beans of all kinds is 12,9 hectares, the output is estimated at 8,9 tons. Since then, people's material and spiritual life has been continuously improved.
Uncle Truong Van Kien, Na Cau village, Minh Ngoc commune shared: “If in the past, all stages from tillage to care, harvesting… were done manually, now most of them have been mechanized. chemical. 2-3 rice fields, the harvester takes about 15 minutes to finish, the rice is always packed in bags, farmers are only available to dry. Plowing and irrigation are similar. Machines have helped us farmers reduce a lot of labor. In addition, the family also equips themselves with agricultural tools such as rice fans, threshers, plows, etc. Besides self-service, the family also rents machines and works for other households. Thereby, the use of farm tools has helped the family reduce labor, increase productivity and create more sources of income…”.
In order to promote the achieved results, Bac Me district continues to introduce high economic efficiency plant and animal varieties and create a mechanism for the introduction of modern machinery into production; strengthen the connection of organizations, individuals and cooperatives doing agricultural services in the province to build a mechanization chain to optimize machine capacity...
