The goal is to stabilize 96.1 thousand hectares of rice land by 2020.
(Baonghean.vn)- On the morning of July 11, under the chairmanship of Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Dinh Viet Hong, the Provincial People's Committee had a working session with relevant departments and branches to discuss the planning of rice land use in the province until 2020, with a view to 2030.
Comrade Dinh Viet Hong gave a directive speech.
According to the report of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, from 2000 to 2010, the rice land area of Nghe An decreased by over 5,527 hectares due to conversion to other purposes. The rice land use planning until 2020, with a view to 2030, aims to strictly manage the province's rice land fund, ensuring food security associated with the goals of socio-economic development, national defense and security in the area. The rice land use planning is associated with the implementation of policies to protect, manage and develop rice land; support policies for rice producers... creating motivation for rice production to develop in the direction of commodities, contributing to improving the lives of farmers.
The goal by 2020 is to stabilize 96.1 thousand hectares of rice land, of which 84 thousand hectares are specialized in wet rice cultivation, and by 2030, 92.3 thousand hectares will be stabilized, of which 80.6 hectares are specialized in wet rice cultivation. On that basis, there is a plan to demarcate a high-tech rice-growing area of about 8,400 hectares in key rice-growing areas in 2015 and 28,000 hectares in 2020.
At the meeting, delegates agreed on the land use planning plan for rice cultivation in the province proposed by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, and at the same time suggested that there should be more appropriate policies for managers as well as strong solutions to increase rice productivity and create economic efficiency in agricultural production.
Concluding the meeting, comrade Dinh Viet Hong requested the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the consulting unit to receive opinions from relevant departments and branches, complete the Planning to submit to the Provincial People's Committee in the upcoming meeting.
