Continue restructuring the agricultural sector

Mr. Nguyen Huu Huong - Director of Len Voi Agricultural Cooperative in Tan Phu Commune, said: Although the Cooperative was newly established, thanks to the application of fattening cattle with imported cattle breeds, the economic efficiency is much higher than that of local yellow cattle raising households before. Because the Cooperative's beef products have met VietGAP standards, the products have been purchased by enterprises, which is a factor motivating members to promote cattle farming.

Sugarcane is the main crop of Tan Ky district. To increase sugarcane productivity for people, the district has gradually eliminated old, ineffective sugarcane varieties and replaced them with new, suitable varieties for high yield and good quality such as KK2, KK3, Viet Duong, LK-9211... Up to now, the sugarcane growing area with new varieties is 3,705 hectares/total standing sugarcane area of 4,485 hectares, reaching 82.6%, an increase of 20% compared to before implementing the project.
Along with the application of new varieties in production, sugarcane production models have been built focusing on applying high technology, implementing synchronous mechanization from land preparation to planting, care, harvesting... with a total area of over 1,000 hectares for high economic efficiency of 60-70 million VND/ha compared to the general average of only 45-48 million VND/ha.
Ms. Dang Thi Tinh in Xuan Son hamlet, Nghia Hoan commune said that her family has 3 hectares of concentrated sugarcane. Thanks to the application of mechanization from land preparation to care and harvesting, the annual sugarcane yield reaches 90 - 100 tons/ha. From this crushing season, the factory has brought sugarcane harvesting machines to serve the people, so sugarcane growers no longer have to worry about the hard work of harvesting by human power as before.
