Development direction of large-scale fields

(Baonghean) -Large-scale fields (LFPs) are the result of cooperation and association between four parties (farmers, entrepreneurs, scientists and managers). In which farmers and entrepreneurs play a decisive role. Organizing production according to the LFP model will gradually eliminate small-scale production, fragmented crop structure, scattered seed structure and gradually form large-scale fields (LFPs) of up to hundreds and thousands of hectares. From here, the process of reorganizing production and business according to the value chain will be gradually closed. Only by doing so can we limit the exchange of buying and selling through intermediaries and the situation of good harvest, low price, good price, bad harvest.

In Nghe An, the organization of production to build the CĐML has been implemented since 2012 and mostly on rice plants. To encourage the good implementation of the policy to build the CĐML, the People's Council of Nghe An province issued Resolution No. 28/2011 to support investment in agricultural and rural development in the period 2012 - 2015. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has proactively implemented the construction of the CĐML model on rice plants since the spring crop of 2012.

In 2012, the province built 2,009.3 hectares of rice cultivation zones in 31 communes of 10 districts. Most of the communes that built the above mentioned rice cultivation zones have links with enterprises such as Nghe An Agricultural Materials Joint Stock Corporation, Vinh Hoa Science and Technology Company Limited... Through signing contracts to build and consume products produced on the rice cultivation zones for farmers.

The CĐML has really brought great efficiency to producers. But in reality, after 2012, the policy of expanding the CĐML area not only did not increase but also gradually decreased. Specifically, in 2013, the rice area produced on the CĐML was only 1,376 hectares in 7 districts. By 2014, the movement to build the CĐML continued to decrease sharply and only nearly 1,000 hectares remained, scattered in the districts: Nam Dan, Thanh Chuong, Yen Thanh, Dien Chau and Nghi Loc. In 2015, the movement to build the CĐML was only in 9 communes in 7 districts, namely: Dien Lien commune (Dien Chau); Quynh Dien commune (Quynh Luu); Nghi Hoa and Nghi Dong communes (Nghi Loc); Nam Nghia and Nam Cat communes (Nam Dan); Hung Phuc commune (Hung Nguyen); Hung Chinh commune (Vinh City) and Thanh Tien commune (Thanh Chuong).

The current situation of the movement to build a modern and professional farmer team in our province in recent years has had a policy, a launch, a policy mechanism, creating an important milestone contributing to the reform and restructuring of agriculture. Because the model of a modern and professional farmer team will help to solve the closed process of reorganizing production and business according to the value chain of the products produced, limit intermediaries, and resolve the relationship between farmers and enterprises for mutual benefit. However, the movement is showing signs of cooling down. There are many reasons, including the conflict between the goal of building a team of modern and professional farmers and the current income of agricultural workers, which is too low compared to other labor sectors. As a result, producers are not interested in investing much in agricultural production. The connection between farmers and enterprises, although having signed contracts, is very loose. The "breaking of contracts" when the market fluctuates has occurred from both enterprises and farmers. In that case, the injured party cannot do anything, because there is currently no specific legal provision to handle it. The success or failure of the policy of building a socialist-oriented market economy is the combination of 4 parties. In which farmers and businesses play a key role, businesses play a decisive role. Only 2 parties: science and management have not really had a close combination...

The policy of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on agricultural development from 2016 onwards has placed special importance on building the CĐML and CĐL in all crops, especially rice in the current context of integration. From that policy, the orientation and target of the program to build the CĐML and CĐL in 2016 and the following years must be implemented as a large movement throughout the province and consider this task as a major content to reorganize production and restructure agriculture towards effective commodity production.

In order for the policy of building a socialist-oriented market economy and a socialist-oriented market economy to be well implemented, we need to do well the following issues:

Firstly, each production facility needs to choose advantageous crops with the ability to produce large quantities of goods.

Second, there must be a real consensus and strong participation of all four parties, in which the business party plays an extremely important role.

Third, along with the participation of the four parties involved in building the CĐML and CĐL, there also needs to be a strong hand in policy and mechanism building from the state. Only by doing so can we create a fundamental and comprehensive change in restructuring agriculture, improving competitiveness and increasing income for farmers today.
