Luong Quoc Doan, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Association and head of the Steering Committee for the "Proud Vietnamese Farmers" Program 2024, has just signed a decision to award the title to 63 outstanding Vietnamese farmers in 2024.

Accordingly, the 63 outstanding Vietnamese farmers of 2024 are divided into four groups/fields: agricultural production, business, and services ; achievements in the new rural development movement; achievements in the national security protection movement; and initiatives and inventions in agricultural production.

Among the 63 outstanding Vietnamese farmers of 2024, many have actively engaged in production linkages, developed production, and consolidated land for production along value chains, resulting in high economic efficiency.

The Vietnamese farmer with the highest annual revenue of 95 billion VND comes from Hai Duong. The Vietnamese farmer with the highest annual profit of 20 billion VND comes from Ben Tre.

Notably, among the 63 outstanding Vietnamese farmers this year, there are 4 rice farmers in the Mekong Delta who became outstanding farmers.

Specifically, farmer Nguyen Thanh Tuan in Kien Giang province cultivates over 500 hectares of rice, generating an economic return of 29 billion VND per year. After deducting expenses, his net profit is 14 billion VND per year. Besides rice farming, Mr. Tuan also runs a business supplying agricultural materials and providing services for plows and harvesters, earning nearly 2.2 billion VND per year.

Farmer Le Thanh Long in An Giang grows 80 hectares of rice, with a revenue of over VND8.9 billion/year and a profit of over VND4.8 billion/year.

Farmer Ho Ba Phieu in Can Tho cultivates 12 hectares of high-quality rice varieties such as OM5451, OM18, and Jasmine 85, generating revenue of over 4.4 billion VND, with a profit of 2.6 billion VND after deducting expenses. In addition, Mr. Phieu also handles rice processing, packaging, and seed services, generating revenue of 28.2 billion VND (in 2023 and 2024), with a profit of 5.2 billion VND after deducting expenses.

Farmer Tram Minh Thuan in Tra Vinh (director of Long Hiep Organic Agricultural Cooperative) grows about 220 hectares of organic rice and high-quality varieties such as ST25... Mr. Thuan also trades in input materials and consumes rice from local people... Total revenue in the period 2019-2024 reached 33 billion VND, profit 4.9 billion VND.

Vice President of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers’ Union Bui Thi Thom said that many outstanding farmers in 2024 have actively linked production, developed production, and accumulated production land according to value chains, bringing high economic efficiency. Among them, outstanding farmers in Kien Giang have more than 500 hectares of rice fields.

The 63 outstanding Vietnamese farmers of 2024 were voted as very worthy people.

There are many excellent Vietnamese farmers in 2024 who have succeeded with green, environmentally friendly production models following the Party and Government's policies on green economic development, green agriculture, and circularity. In addition, many excellent farmers in 2024 are also increasingly interested in building and protecting agricultural product brands...

It is expected that next October, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Union will organize a series of activities to be proud of Vietnamese farmers, including the 9th National Farmers' Forum in 2024 with the theme "Chairman of the Vietnam Farmers' Union - Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development: Listening to farmers speak".

This is the first time that the top leaders of the Vietnam Farmers' Association and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development have co-chaired a meeting to listen to farmers express their thoughts and aspirations.

Along with that is the ceremony to honor and award titles to 63 outstanding Vietnamese farmers and commend 63 typical cooperatives and many other activities.
