With the goal of building an organic agricultural production area associated with consumption based on selecting key agricultural products with competitive advantages of the province ; organizing production to create certified organic products in accordance with regional and world organic agricultural standards ... , on August 17, 2022, the People's Committee of Hung Yen province issued Decision No. 1843/QD-UBND approving the Project to support the establishment and development of production areas associated with the consumption of organic agricultural products in Hung Yen province for the period 2021-2025, with a vision to 2030.
The project's goal is that by 2025, the area of organic farming land will reach about 1% of the total farming area for the province's main crops such as rice , fruit trees, and vegetables. The rate of organic livestock products will reach about 1% of the total livestock products for the province's main livestock products such as: cattle meat, poultry meat, and waterfowl. The organic aquaculture area accounts for about 0.5% of the total area for some key aquaculture products of the province . The added value of organic agricultural products compared to non-organic production is at least 15% or more. By 2030 , the area of organic crop land will reach about 1.5% of the cultivated land area for the province 's main crops such as rice , fruit trees, and vegetables. The rate of organic livestock products reaches about 1.5-2% of the total livestock products for the province's main livestock products such as: livestock meat, poultry meat, and waterfowl . The organic aquaculture area accounts for about 1.5% of the total aquaculture area for some key products of the province . The added value of organic agricultural products compared to non-organic production is at least 20% or more.
In order for organic agricultural production in the province to develop and meet the increasing demands of consumers, it is necessary to develop the Project " Supporting the establishment and development of production areas associated with the consumption of organic agricultural products in Hung Yen province in the period of 2021-2025 , with a vision to 2030 " to determine the scope of products, subjects of implementation, implementation plan of impact policies and implementation resources, in accordance with the Government 's direction on organic agricultural development and the development orientation of the province 's agricultural sector in the period of 2020-2030.
To implement the project, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development coordinated to organize 8 training courses to equip nearly 500 businesses, farms, cooperatives, and agricultural producers in the province with basic knowledge about sustainable organic agricultural production. In 2023, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development coordinated with localities to build a number of organic crop production models with an area of 12 hectares; of which, 10 hectares were for rice and 2 hectares for vegetables and fruits. Households participating in the model were instructed on organic production techniques to meet the requirements of Standard No. TCVN 11041-2:2017.
Organic production models have initially changed the thinking of producers towards creating agricultural products of high quality, economic value, and safety for producers and consumers, gradually building a clean and sustainable production by not using input materials (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) of chemical origin but replacing them with products of organic origin, microorganisms, antagonistic fungi, natural enemies, etc. Products of the models have met food safety standards, so their selling prices are 1.5 to 2 times higher than products produced according to traditional processes; some products such as cucumbers and leafy vegetables have a selling price 3 to 4 times higher, bringing high economic efficiency, creating trust, encouraging farmers to expand the area and scope of application. Currently, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is coordinating with relevant units to organize organic production conversion certification activities for the above production areas, and is expected to complete the certification by 2024.
To develop organic agriculture to ensure sustainability while ensuring productivity and product quality, the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is focusing on synchronously implementing a number of solutions such as: Strengthening propaganda work, raising awareness of the role of organic products to managers, producers, businesses and consumers; strictly complying with the production, processing, monitoring and certification processes of organic agricultural products. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development actively develops and submits to competent authorities for promulgation of specific support mechanisms and policies for organic agricultural production such as planning production areas, supporting production capital, supporting brand building, land lease incentives... At the same time, there are policies to support and care for enterprises producing and trading in fertilizers and pesticides of organic and biological origin...
Market factors play an important role in the development of organic agriculture, therefore, related sectors need to pay attention to and research potential markets to help businesses negotiate, sign export contracts and expand product consumption markets. In the field of science and technology, sectors and localities need to re-evaluate the organic product production process of businesses in terms of: Management, quality, product trade... to find out difficulties, propose appropriate solutions for development. Research on selecting and adjusting plant and animal varieties; farming methods and techniques suitable to natural conditions. In the face of increasingly unpredictable climate change, causing many disadvantages for organic farming which depends heavily on weather conditions due to the lack of use of chemicals in the production process. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the use of net house systems, greenhouses, automatic water spraying systems (drip or mist), automatic sensor systems... in the development of organic agriculture. Along with that, promote encouragement and attract domestic and foreign enterprises to invest in production and trading of organic agricultural products; pesticides, fertilizers, and animal feed of organic origin.
