Obtained results
Over the past five years, Hung Yen province has developed and promulgated a number of mechanisms and policies to support agricultural and rural development with 6 sectorial master plans and 25 programmes and projects, such as an agricultural development programme towards industrialisation, modernisation, high added value and sustainability; a chain link development scheme in agricultural production; a livestock and aquatic breeding project; the One Commune One Product (OCOP) project; a project on plant varieties, the establishment of economic cooperation organisations; a project on land accumulation; and a project on developing concentrated fruit and flower tree production areas.
In addition, the province has issued policies to maximise investment resources in the field of agriculture and rural development; encouraging enterprises to invest in agricultural and rural areas; supporting production development and mechanisation; encouraging collective economic development; supporting trade promotion and product consumption; and promoting production linkage by chain.
Programmes, schemes, mechanisms and policies to encourage the development of agricultural production have helped farmers change the structure of crops and livestock, and access and apply advanced scientific and technical solutions into agricultural production.
In the 2016-2020 period, Hung Yen province converted 9,700 hectares of land for planting low-efficient crops to planting annual and perennial crops, combining livestock and aquaculture for high economic efficiency, such as growing flowers and ornamental plants, bringing income from VND800 million-1 billion per hectare in Xuan Quan and Phung Cong communes, Van Giang district; fruit trees with incomes of VND250-700 million per hectare in Khoai Chau, Kim Dong, Phu Cu districts, Hung Yen city; and aquaculture for income from VND150-200 million per hectare in An Thi district.
The province has built over 500 models of large-scale fields to produce rice and winter crops in accordance with the value chain. Notably, Minh Hai commune in Van Lam district cooperated with the Agriculture and International Trade Joint Stock Company to produce 20 hectares of THP 16 rice varieties; Tho Vinh commune in Kim Dong district cooperated with the Dai Duong Company to produce 44 hectares of DD2 rice varieties; Nhat Tan commune, Tien Lu district cooperated with the Thai Binh Seed Company to produce 125 hectares of KD18 rice varieties.
Advanced and environmentally friendly production processes have been popularised and replicated, with more than 2,188 hectares of vegetables and fruits of all kinds being produced according to VietGAP processes. There are 83 models of safe vegetable, fruit, meat and fish product chains. Many localities have exploited their strengths to expand their fruit-growing area to serve domestic consumption and exports. Positive changes have been made in terms of production structures in the cultivation industry, increasing the proportion of fruit trees, flowers, ornamental plants and medicinal plants with high economic efficiency.
