(Baonghean.vn) - By switching from ineffective crops such as cassava, corn, etc. to growing potatoes under a model linked with businesses, farmers in the highlands of Tuong Duong have had a bumper winter-spring crop. This has opened up a new direction in agricultural production for the people here.

In the 2023-2024 winter-spring crop, Chan village (Thach Giam town, Tuong Duong) cooperated with the Vietnam Institute of Agricultural Biology to grow commercial potatoes. Photo: TP

The area of the joint planting is 5 hectares with 38 participating households. People participating in the model are supported with seeds and fertilizers in the form of deferred payment; and are trained in techniques from planting to harvesting. Photo: TP

In particular, the model is invested with automatic sprinkler nozzles, helping people access technology in the agricultural production process. Photo: TP

By the end of February 2024, 5 hectares of potatoes will be harvested. The estimated yield is 14-15 tons/ha. Photo: TP

According to initial assessment, potato plants are very suitable for the soil and climate here, so they give high yield and quality. Photo: TP

Mr. Vang Van Binh, a resident of Chan village participating in the model, said: “I grow 2 sao of potatoes. Following the correct process and planting and care techniques, the yield reached 1.5 tons. I imported nearly 1 ton of quality to sell to businesses, the rest was used as seeds for the next crop and sold to the market. After deducting expenses, I still made a profit of 8-9 million VND. Compared to other crops, potatoes have a higher economic value.” Photo: TP

After harvesting, the amount of potatoes that meet commercial quality are purchased by the enterprise at the field at the agreed price. Photo: TP

Accordingly, 1kg of commercial potatoes is sold for 7,500 VND. “1ha of potatoes produces 14-15 tons of tubers, of which about 8 tons of tubers meet import standards for businesses, the rest are sold to the market. According to calculations, people earn 120-150 million VND per hectare,” said Ms. Luong Thi Hien - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Thach Giam town. Photo: TP

What people are most excited about when participating in the linkage model is that the products produced are guaranteed to be consumed, without worrying about backlog or unsold products. Therefore, many people want to expand the area and replicate the model. Photo: TP
