Need to establish a dairy farming association

(Baonghean.vn) - That is the recommendation of the Chairman of TH Group at the working session with comrade Lai Xuan Mon - Member of the Party Central Committee, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Association during his visit to the Wood Processing Factory andClean agricultural production models of TH Group on January 9, 2017.

After 7 years of construction and development, the TH Group project has proven its success in many aspects. In addition to providing the market with 55 types of fresh milk products, the project has created jobs for more than 1,000 workers who are children of farmers in the project area. At the same time, the project also creates a large source of income for farmers in Nghia Dan district and neighboring districts with a total revenue of about 100 billion VND/year from purchasing straw, rice husks, and corn as raw materials for feeding dairy cows.

Currently, TH Group is also cooperating with farmers in several provinces and cities to implement clean food production and processing projects.

Comrade Lai Xuan Mon - Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of Vietnam Farmers' Union visited the wood processing factory of TH Group.

The development of TH Group is the sustainable development of the agricultural sector when operating according to the trend of land accumulation, training skills for farmers, building raw material areas, building brands of Vietnamese agricultural products - especially fresh milk products - in the domestic and international markets.

However, from the production reality, there are some inappropriate regulations and policies for agricultural products, holding back production development, causing many difficulties for farmers and businesses investing in agriculture.

The Central delegation of the Vietnam Farmers' Union visited the clean vegetable farm of TH Group.

Comrade Lai Xuan Mon presented souvenirs and planted souvenir trees at TH Group.

From the perspective of a large investor in the agricultural sector, Ms. Thai Huong - Chairman of the Group recommended to the Farmers' Association to amend the outdated National Technical Regulation on Liquid Milk (QCVN 5-1:2010/BYT), which is confusing to consumers and creates a lack of transparency in the milk market; harming the right to full information and the right to choose of consumers. Recommend that the Association protect school milk standards and monitor this issue.

At the same time, the leader of TH Milk Group proposed that the Vietnam Farmers' Association take the lead in establishing a Dairy Cow Breeding Association to help dairy cow raising units and households have a place to meet and discuss technical issues in dairy cow raising and fresh milk production.

Ms. Thai Huong - Chairwoman of TH True Milk Group reported on some activities and recommendations to the working delegation on production linkage and establishment of a Dairy Cow Breeding Association.

Talking with the leaders of TH Group, comrade Lai Xuan Mon said that the recommendations of TH Group coincide with the concerns of him and the leaders of the Vietnam Farmers' Union. In the near future, the Union will make recommendations to the Government and relevant ministries and branches on amending and implementing policies related to agriculture, farmers and rural areas, including policies on dairy farming, milk processing and consumption.

“More than ever, the Party and the State need a more suitable mechanism to reorganize production, accumulate land, link in production, take enterprises as the center, as the driving force for development. The Farmers’ Association will be the center connecting enterprises with farmers, between farmers with farmers.” – Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Vietnam Farmers’ Association said.
