In the 2023-2024 Winter-Spring crop, although the total rice cultivation area in the province only reached nearly 28,800 hectares, a decrease of 240 hectares compared to the same period, the rice yield is still estimated at 6.3 tons/ha, an increase of 1.5 tons/ha; food output reached more than 180 thousand tons, an increase of nearly 2,900 tons over the same period.
Farmers in Ban Gian commune (Lap Thach) use harvesters to harvest winter-spring rice.
To achieve the above results, the agricultural sector has maintained the late spring rice growing area (accounting for 92% of the total area); prioritized the use of organic fertilizers, bio-organic fertilizers, and microbial fertilizers; continued to support the price of quality rice varieties and subsidized freight and prices of some quality rice varieties for mountainous communes.
Deploying demonstration models of pure, high-yield, high-quality rice varieties; guiding farmers to apply scientific and technical advances in production, pest management, integrated crops, improved rice farming systems, and border-effect rice planting...
Thereby reducing input costs, limiting harmful organisms, protecting the environment, improving productivity, quality and value of agricultural products, and increasing income for farmers.
With the motto "green house is better than old field", farmers in localities in the province are urgently harvesting the Winter-Spring rice crop to prevent storms and flooding, proactively creating conditions for the 2024 Summer-Autumn crop production in the best time frame.
