In the aquaculture sector, a number of shrimp farming models have been formed in covered cement tanks, shrimp farming according to the Biofloc process in greenhouses in some localities such as: Quynh Bang, Quynh Minh, Quynh Thanh, An Hoa, Quynh Luong...; shrimp farming according to VietGAP standards in 107/750 hectares of shrimp in the whole district...

SPECIFIC RESOLUTION

One of the key development orientations of Quynh Luu district in the period of 2020 - 2025 is to develop agriculture with higher and more sustainable added value. Therefore, one of the four key programs identified by the Quynh Luu district Party Committee throughout the term is to promote the application of new science and technology in production, processing and promote linkages in the consumption of agricultural products. Accordingly, immediately afterXXVIII District Party Congress, The Standing Committee of Quynh Luu District Party Committee has focused on directing the development and promulgation of the Project "Promoting the application of new science and technology in production, processing and promoting linkages in the consumption of agricultural products in the period of 2021-2025". This project was specified by the District People's Committee to implement the plan for each direction of cultivation, livestock, fishing and seafood processing for implementation.

In the spirit of the district's direction, taking advantage of new motivations after the congress, many grassroots party committees have started to implement specific tasks. Comrade Ho Dien Huu - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Minh commune shared: People in Quynh Minh commune have a tradition of growing commercial vegetables. However, the application of science and technology to production by people is still limited, mainly producing according to market demand, focusing on the types that the market has high demand for without following the planning or thoroughly applying science and technology to have clean products to supply the market.

To overcome this situation, immediately after the Party Congress of the commune for the 2020 - 2025 term, the Party Committee and the government have directed the cooperative to build a VietGAP standard vegetable production area with a total area of ​​7 hectares, and at the same time invested nearly 2 billion VND to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, tubers and fruits to spread and change the production methods among the people. And in addition to building and spreading the model, the cooperative is also responsible for linking with organizations and individuals to find stable output for vegetables. The goal is to increase the income value per unit area of ​​165 hectares of vegetables to 320 - 350 million VND/year.

In Quynh Bang commune, from the success of the greenhouse model of Mr. Ho Phuc Hoang's family 2 years ago, the local Party Committee and authorities are also determined to direct the development of 5-7 more greenhouse models. On that basis, a greenhouse production cooperative will be established to produce a number of products, creating a large enough quantity of goods and alternating seasons to provide regular and stable supply to traditional customers. Along with that, according to comrade Ho Nghia Dung - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Bang commune, the locality is also focusing on directing the replication of the model andincrease shrimp farming areaApplying science and technology, such as raising shrimp in covered cement tanks, improved aeration, and raising with biological feed (currently, the shrimp farming area applying science and technology is only 30/186 ha).

Particularly, the model of raising shrimp in a roofed cement tank will ensure stable weather conditions for shrimp growth, while increasing the winter crop for shrimp, because if raised under normal conditions in winter, the temperature drops and there is heavy rain, it cannot be raised. The locality is also promoting a project to bring seawater into the industrial shrimp farming area of ​​over 100 hectares to replace the current Mo River water, which affects the quality of farmed shrimp. Along with that, it is focusing on improving the capacity of agricultural and aquatic service cooperatives in connecting to find outlets for vegetable and seafood products for people (the cooperative was newly established in 2019)...
