Organic farming - a safe and sustainable direction

In recent years, Quang Ninh has issued many policies and guidelines to encourage the development of organic agriculture and clean agriculture. From this orientation, many organic agriculture models have been formed, developed and initially shown clear effectiveness. Not only bringing high economic value, these products also conquer consumers thanks to their safety and quality.

The guava growing area is applied by Mr. Vuong Thanh Binh's family in Vuon Ram area, Hoanh Bo ward according to organic farming direction to bring quality and safe products.

Having been attached to guava trees for about 10 years now, but in recent years, when the clean production policy was promoted by the local government, Mr. Vuong Thanh Binh's family in Vuon Ram area (Hoanh Bo ward) also gradually switched to organic farming for their guava area. Mr. Binh said: With this direction, my family completely eliminated pesticides and chemical fertilizers and only focused on using microbial products, fish protein, and soybean protein for guava roots. Thanks to that, we have produced quality products, making consumers more secure. Currently, each year, Mr. Binh's family supplies the market with about 2.5-3 tons of guava, bringing in an income of about 120 million VND.

As for Mr. Nguyen Tien Uoc's family in Dong Dam village (Dong Ngu commune), he has also participated in the organic Tien Yen chicken farming model for many years. With this process, chickens are raised completely naturally, with a diet consisting of rice bran, soybeans, corn, and a mixture of cinnamon, star anise, and xuyen chi. Each year, Mr. Uoc sells about 12,000 chickens, earning about 200 million VND. Mr. Uoc said: Chickens raised with herbal mixed feed increase their resistance and fight diseases such as asthma, intestinal diseases, etc. Thanks to that, they do not have to use any antibiotics during the farming process. Notably, the chickens' weight has increased, the meat quality is more fragrant and delicious, and traders come to the place to buy, so the family is very confident with this direction.

Organic farming and livestock models like Mr. Binh and Mr. Uoc's are increasingly developing strongly in many rural areas in the province. Not only helping to increase product value, create consumer confidence and expand the consumption market, the organic care process also aims at the goal of sustainable development, ensuring harmony between economic development, environmental protection and improving people's lives, thereby contributing to building responsible agriculture.

In order to develop Quang Ninh agriculture sustainably, in recent times, the province has been focusing on many solutions to encourage people, production and business households, enterprises, and cooperatives to promote safe production. In 2023, the province also approved and issued the Project "Developing organic agriculture in Quang Ninh province to 2025, with a vision to 2030". The goal of the project is to develop a sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture, improve productivity and competitiveness of agricultural products. In particular, encourage the production of certified and standard organic products. The production of certified organic products will contribute to increasing product value, consolidating and developing brands... In particular, it contributes to restructuring the province's agricultural sector when the value of organic products is 15-20% higher than that of products produced by conventional methods.

With the goal of continuing to invest in organic agriculture, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is currently focusing on building and developing organic vegetables, tubers, fruits, tea, medicinal herbs, and rice products in localities. After that, zoning and implementing the transition phase to organic production for 55 hectares of crops.
