Complete planting in February 2025
In the fields of The Trach village (Mai Dinh commune, Soc Son district), from early morning, many farmers went to the fields; each person had a job, focusing on preparing the land, fertilizing, and planting spring rice.
Ms. Do Thi Hoa, a farmer in The Trach village, said that right after the Tet holiday, she started sowing rice seedlings. Currently, the fields have enough water, her family is just waiting for the milling machine to come and prepare the land for flooding and planting rice.
In Huong Ngai commune (Thach That district), the production atmosphere is also very urgent. Ms. Phi Thi Kim Nhung, a farmer in village 2, said that this spring, her family planted 10 sao of rice.
“In addition to my family’s land, I also rent agricultural land from some neighboring households that are not being cultivated to grow more crops. In recent years, there has been mechanization, so farming has become less difficult…” - Ms. Nhung added.
In addition to propagating and mobilizing farmers to plant spring rice, local authorities provide technical guidance and support rice varieties according to support projects of Hanoi City. In addition, they also provide fertilizers and pesticides of clear origin and guaranteed quality so that farmers can feel secure in production.
Head of the Hanoi Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection, Luu Thi Hang, said that in recent years, mechanization has been widely applied in spring rice cultivation areas. The tray-planting technique is also commonly used to help reduce labor pressure.
“This year, the weather is favorable, so the progress of spring crop planting in Hanoi is guaranteed. We are coordinating with local authorities to propagate and mobilize people to focus on planting, striving to complete it in February 2025…” - Ms. Luu Thi Hang added.
Do not waste agricultural land
In the 2025 Spring crop, the whole city plans to cultivate nearly 80,000 hectares of rice. With the proactiveness and positivity of the agricultural sector, authorities at all levels and farmers, up to now, about 85% of the 2025 Spring crop area in Hanoi has had enough water; the sowing rate has also reached about 35% of the plan.
Along with focusing on propaganda and mobilizing people to plant all the acreage, Hanoi directed departments and localities to regularly send officials to the fields to guide people in taking care of spring rice. Especially, keeping the seedlings warm and fertilizing the newly planted rice in a balanced way during cold days.
The Hanoi agricultural sector is also constantly improving the rice variety structure. In the 2025 Spring crop, it is estimated that more than 82% of the cultivated area will use new rice varieties. This is considered a solution to improve productivity and quality, bringing the best rice products to consumers in the capital.
According to Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Manh Phuong, the weather in the coming days is forecast to be quite favorable. Therefore, it is recommended that districts, towns and cities continue to propagate and mobilize people to actively go to the fields for production. Strictly implement the provisions of the Law on Cultivation, absolutely do not leave agricultural land fallow, causing waste of production materials.
The representative of the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development also recommended: for agricultural land areas that may have difficulties with water resources, localities should regularly check and review to promptly implement drought prevention measures; for areas lacking water for rice cultivation, it is necessary to proactively develop plans to switch to dry crop cultivation.
