On the morning of October 12, the Hanoi Farmers' Association held a conference to celebrate the 94th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Farmers' Association (October 14, 1930 - October 14, 2024); commend outstanding farmers in the capital in 2024, and reward collectives and individuals with achievements in the emulation movement to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of the Capital (October 10, 1954 - October 10, 2024).
Attending the conference were Party Central Committee member, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Nguyen Thi Tuyen; Vice President of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Union Bui Thi Thom and many delegates and leaders of agencies and departments of the city.
Many practical and effective activities contribute to the development of the Capital.
Chairman of the Hanoi Farmers' Association Pham Hai Hoa said: with 88.3% of the natural area and 63.5% of the population living in rural areas, these areas have special significance for Hanoi's socio-economy.
The Association has developed 3 working programs and 6 projects to concretize the Resolution of the 10th City Farmers' Association Congress, term 2023-2028 and to deploy emulation movements and campaigns.
Currently, the Hanoi Farmers' Association has 18 units at district and town levels with 466,403 members operating at 406 bases, 2,463 branches and 4,597 groups. The staff is regularly trained, improving their qualifications and the Association's methods of operation are increasingly innovated.
Speaking at the conference, Vice President of the Vietnam Farmers' Union Bui Thi Thom emphasized that over the past 94 years, the Hanoi Farmers' Union has developed strongly, making important contributions to the industrialization and modernization of agriculture and rural areas. The Union has implemented many practical activities, especially in applying digital transformation and linking and cooperating in production. To date, 72 projects and models on digital transformation have been implemented; more than 160,000 union members have used the Vietnam Farmers' Union and Dan Viet Newspaper App.
From emulation movements such as "Farmers produce and do business well, help each other get rich" and "Farmers participate in building new rural areas", there have been many typical models, creating solidarity among Hanoi farmers. The movement "Hanoi for the whole country" also affirms the role of the Association through coordination with 36 provinces and cities, actively contributing to the development of agriculture, farmers and rural areas.
The Association also actively builds a professional farmer force, promotes the application of science and technology, and builds a production value chain towards green and circular agriculture.
In the coming time, the Association at all levels needs to continue to closely follow the Party's policies, promote the role of farmers as the main subject in developing ecological agriculture, modern rural areas, and civilized farmers. Strengthen coordination with departments and branches, support farmers in applying digital transformation, encourage production cooperation to increase income. At the same time, it is necessary to promote patriotic emulation movements, actively participate in building new rural areas, monitor, provide social criticism and propose appropriate policies.
Enhance the role of Farmers' Association, ensure rights for members
Speaking at the conference, Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee Nguyen Thi Tuyen acknowledged and highly appreciated the results that the Hanoi Farmers' Association has achieved in recent times.
Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee Nguyen Thi Tuyen affirmed that the quality of organization and operation of the Association has been constantly improved, with many innovations and creativity in directing and implementing activities, especially focusing on effectively propagating the Party and State's guidelines and policies to members.
The Farmers' Association has closely followed and effectively implemented 10 work programs, 5 key tasks, and 3 breakthroughs set forth by the Resolution of the 17th City Party Congress, notably Program 04 of the City Party Committee on building new rural areas associated with agricultural restructuring and rural economic development, aiming to improve farmers' lives in the 2021-2025 period.
In particular, during the recent floods, the Farmers' Association mobilized thousands of members to participate in the response and recovery efforts after storm No. 3, contributing more than 2.3 billion VND to support the affected people. The City Farmers' Association also actively participated in the construction of new rural areas.
The above results have contributed to enhancing the role and position of the Farmers' Association, while ensuring the rights of members, contributing to the overall development of the city in terms of socio-economy and national defense and security.
The Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee also pointed out the major challenges facing farmers in the capital, including the process of international economic integration, rapid urbanization, and severe damage from natural disasters such as storm No. 3. In particular, the shrinking area of agricultural land, flooding in suburban districts, and difficulties in labor and employment are issues that need to be urgently resolved.
In that context, Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee Nguyen Thi Tuyen directed the Farmers' Association at all levels to continue to promote the implementation of Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW dated June 16, 2022 of the Central Executive Committee on agriculture, farmers, and rural areas to 2030 and vision to 2045; Resolution No. 15-NQ/TW dated May 5, 2022 of the Politburo on the development of Hanoi Capital; and Resolution No. 46-NQ/TW dated December 20, 2023 on improving the quality of activities of the Vietnam Farmers' Association.
In addition, the Association at all levels must ensure the successful completion of assigned tasks in building new rural areas, cooperating to learn from experiences and applying advances of the 4.0 industrial revolution in agriculture. Training activities, technology transfer and exploitation of local potential need to be promoted to create value chains for agricultural products in the capital; at the same time, it is necessary to improve the quality of consulting services, vocational training, production support and effective management of the "Farmer Support Fund".
At the same time, the Association at all levels continues to support members in building safe agricultural stores, connecting the consumption of OCOP products, and promoting environmental sanitation and food safety activities. The Association also needs to mobilize farmers to actively participate in crime prevention and maintaining security and order in the locality.
“The Farmers’ Association needs to promptly grasp the thoughts and aspirations of its members, advise the Party Committee and the government to resolve the legitimate interests of farmers; the Association needs to participate in social supervision and criticism, and contribute to building a clean and strong Party and government. In particular, it is necessary to focus on issues related to agriculture, rural areas and farmers, such as implementing the Capital Law, the Grassroots Democracy Law, and the revised Land Law,” noted Permanent Deputy Secretary Nguyen Thi Tuyen.
On this occasion, the Conference commended 20 collectives, 20 individuals, and 18 outstanding farmers of the Capital as typical examples in the peak periods celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of the Capital and the 94th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Farmers' Association. And in production and business, they achieved the title of Outstanding Farmers of the Capital and 1 farmer of the Capital was awarded the title of Outstanding Vietnamese Farmer in 2024 by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Association.
