Increase income from restructuring crops and livestock

(Baonghean.vn) - In recent times, the Party Committee of Quynh Hong Commune (Quynh Luu) has focused on leading the people to shift the production structure towards diversifying crops and livestock and effectively applying scientific and technological advances. Thanks to that, the local agricultural production sector has developed strongly, bringing high income to the people.

Ms. Dau Thi Van in Hamlet 1, Quynh Hong Commune has 3 sao of rice land in the deep Chia Pheo area. Although she takes care of it very hard, her income is not much. After the land consolidation, in 2010, she boldly received an additional 1.7 hectares of fallow land from the commune and invested hundreds of millions of VND to improve the ground to build a farm. After many years of hard work, diligence, and industriousness, she now has a farm with 40 crossbred sows, each year selling more than 100 breeding pigs and dozens of tons of fish to the market. In addition, she also takes advantage of the water surface to raise 200 laying ducks. Currently, after deducting expenses, she earns a profit of 220 million VND/year.

As for Mr. Tran Duc Song in Hamlet 4, Quynh Hong Commune, after his family's land area was consolidated to an area in Con Cu, he invested more than 1 billion VND to rent machinery and workers to dig a fish pond and build a floating pig pen using foreign technology on an area of ​​5,500 m2. Thanks to the good application of modern farming techniques, his pig herd has grown rapidly, currently in the pen there are 42 sows, super lean pigs and boars. In addition, he also dug a fish pond right on the farm for a large source of income. Currently, he has a total income of over 500 million VND each year.

Quynh Hong Commune has 272 hectares of agricultural land, of which 160 hectares are in deep, difficult-to-produce areas, where rice cultivation is ineffective. After successfully implementing the policy of land consolidation and plot exchange, the Commune Party Committee issued a Resolution on converting the structure of crops and livestock to suit each region and soil quality in each field. Thanks to the good work of propagating policies and guidelines to every household, the entire commune has so far converted 35 hectares of low-yield rice to build 52 farms and ranches for raising livestock and poultry combined with aquaculture, earning an income of 100 to 400 million VND.

Most households have converted from deep rice fields to ponds for fish farming combined with livestock farming.

With high land areas that cannot be controlled by irrigation water sources, the commune has planned to switch to growing vegetables using irrigation technology. In Hong Phu flower village alone, every year the locality introduces new flower varieties with high economic value into production such as tulips, lilies, etc.

Thanks to actively researching and bringing new flower varieties to grow, each year Hong Phu flower village, Quynh Hong commune, earns about 2 billion VND.

Grasping the increasing demand for rice products in the market, Quynh Hong has oriented to introduce high-yield, high-quality commercial rice varieties into cultivation such as Bac Thom 67, AC 5, Huong Thom, Thuy Huong... and applied improved rice cultivation methods according to SRI, bringing mechanization into production, so the average rice yield per sao reaches 3.5 quintals, the quality of delicious rice is favored by the market and is purchased by traders right in the field.

Nowadays, Quynh Hong people all apply mechanization in production.

The restructuring of crops and livestock in Quynh Hong commune has confirmed the right direction in the economic restructuring of the locality, and the income of the people has been significantly increased. Currently, the average income per capita of Quynh Hong reaches 26 million VND/year.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Quynh Hong Commune said: "To promote the development of production and livestock breeding, at the end of each crop or at the end of the year, the Party Committee of the Commune organizes a conference to evaluate the results of livestock and crop production to gain experience and propose measures to overcome existing shortcomings and limitations for the following year. On that basis, there are appropriate directions and guidelines according to actual conditions, thereby aiming to increase the value of crops on the same unit area".
