These days, farmers in Nghia Hop commune (Tan Ky district) are out in the fields harvesting sweet corn to sell to businesses involved in the production partnership.
According to Ms. Dang Thi Van, Deputy Head of the Agriculture and Rural Development Department of Tan Ky district: In the 2023 winter crop season, Tan Ky district continued to implement the sweet corn production linkage model on a scale of 5 hectares in Nghia Hop commune, with two households bidding for the land to carry out the project.
Accordingly, the model received 50% support for seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. After nearly 3 months of planting and caring for the crop, it has now been harvested, showing that the sweet corn yield here reached 12-15 tons/ha. The company purchased the corn at 5,000 VND/kg, bringing farmers 60-70 million VND/ha, with a profit of about 40% after deducting costs.
"This sweet corn model was implemented by Tan Ky district starting from last winter's crop season. This winter's crop season has proven successful in terms of yield and income. Therefore, in the coming years, the locality will continue to cooperate with businesses to expand it," said Ms. Dang Thi Van.
Tan Ky district has more than 2,000 hectares of riverside alluvial land, which is enriched with fertile silt every year, creating favorable conditions for the production of short-term agricultural crops.
