As a locality with a large rice production area (more than nearly 6,400 hectares), Duc Tho district has been focusing on directing the crop calendar, structure and proactive seed plan before entering the crop.
Mr. Bui Khac Phong - Deputy Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Duc Tho district said: "Based on the production project of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, based on the planning, plans and characteristics of terrain, land, climate, and intensive farming level of communes and towns, the district has proactively developed and implemented the 2024 spring crop production project close to reality.

The district coordinates with the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and related units to inspect and check the quality of seed sources for production, ensuring a successful crop".
Mr. Le Tung Duong - Deputy Head of the Department of Agricultural, Forestry and Fishery Product Quality Management of Ha Tinh said: “Since the beginning of December 2023, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has established a team to inspect the compliance with the law of agricultural material production and trading establishments in the area. Accordingly, proactively and strictly control the origin, packaging, labels, quality records, product catalogs of agricultural material goods for trading; take samples of shipments for quality analysis; monitor the price situation of varieties supplied on the market... The team has inspected and taken 25 rice seed samples to analyze quality indicators, the results show that all 25 varieties meet the quality standards according to QCVN standards.
The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development continues to strengthen the inspection of compliance with the law on production and trading of plant varieties; promptly detect and strictly handle establishments violating current regulations, ensuring that goods serving production and circulation on the market meet the quality requirements for production.
According to Mr. Nguyen Tri Ha - Head of the Ha Tinh Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection: "We have proactively coordinated with units and localities to carry out state management of the production and trading of plant varieties, ensuring the supply of quality varieties to the market. To limit risks in production, it is recommended that localities do not structure a variety to more than 30% of the sowing and planting area. In addition, Ha Tinh is a locality with unique terrain and ecological conditions with many different ecological sub-regions, sites, and soils; the weather is complex and unpredictable; pests and diseases frequently arise and cause serious damage... Therefore, the structure of varieties needs to be diverse in terms of species, growth time, adaptability, resistance, especially to rice blast disease".
The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development established a team to inspect the quality of agricultural materials.
According to the recommendations of the industry, based on the growth time of each variety, localities urge farmers to plant seedlings within the time frame from January 5 to February 8, 2024. For areas with direct sowing practices, the sowing schedule follows the seedling planting season.
Localities also need to note that within the same group of varieties, the specific growing period of each variety must be considered to arrange for appropriate sowing and planting. Accordingly, varieties with longer growing periods are arranged at the beginning of the crop time frame, and varieties with shorter growing periods are arranged at the end of the crop time frame. In addition, based on short-term weather forecasts, localities direct the time for soaking and incubating seeds, minimizing damage caused by severe cold...
