In recent years, localities in the province have promoted the application of science and technology, bringing synchronous mechanization (CGH) into agricultural production. Thereby, contributing to liberating labor, reducing production costs, partially solving the shortage of agricultural labor, gradually moving towards a modern, comprehensive and sustainable agricultural development.
Farmers in Ha Son commune (Ha Trung) use machinery in agricultural production.
In 2023, the Thieu Quang Commune Agricultural Service Cooperative (Thieu Hoa) was established with the aim of gathering machinery to serve people's needs in basic service stages such as: land preparation, sowing, harvesting, transportation...
Mr. Nguyen Huu Tap, Deputy Head of the Cooperative Group, said: In addition to investing in machinery to meet people's needs, the cooperative group also supports people in using machinery effectively; combines propaganda and encourages people to promote the application of CGH to save time and production costs.
Ms. Hoang Thi Huong, one of the households using the cooperative's services, said: In recent years, during the rice planting season, there is often a shortage of labor, and labor costs are 1.5 - 2 times higher than during the off-season. Therefore, when the commune promoted and encouraged the application of CGH, my family rented the cooperative's transplanting machine to save production time. In addition, transplanting by machine is very convenient for care, the rice is less susceptible to pests and diseases, the rice is planted in straight rows, at suitable distances...
Currently, in the whole province, the rate of applying CGH in the production stages of major crops is: Rice has a rate of 98% land preparation, 22% planting, 82% harvesting, 79% transportation; corn has a rate of 88% land preparation, 7% planting, 16% harvesting, 84% transportation; sugarcane, a rate of 99% land preparation, 20% planting, 15% harvesting, 95% transportation; cassava, a rate of 83% land preparation, 71% transportation... In addition, in the province, there are more than 2,800 hectares of safe vegetables, fruit trees and intensive sugarcane areas applying and transferring water-saving irrigation technology. Not only tillage machines, harvesters..., advanced machinery such as fertilizer planes, pesticide sprayers, bed-making machines, seeding machines... have shown effectiveness not only in production, but also contribute to protecting people's health and are considered a breakthrough in the agricultural sector.
In addition to applying CGH in cultivation, currently, aquaculture households have also boldly invested in using water fan systems, oxygen aerators in ponds, applying camera technology to remotely control farmed animals, circulating shrimp farming water treatment technology processes... In livestock farming, 100% of cow milking machines have been applied, many farms and households have boldly invested in applying closed barn technology, using automatic feeding troughs, drinking nipples, incubators... 85% of poultry farms apply science and technology to treat waste in livestock farming using biological bedding, probiotics, minimizing environmental pollution; 90% of pig farms have modern closed barns, raising high-yield, good-quality pig breeds; applying technology in production management to serve product traceability...
Mr. Thieu Van Tuoi, owner of a chicken farm in Nga Bach commune (Nga Son) said: To improve farming efficiency, the family has invested in buying an industrial feed mixer and installing an automatic feeding and drinking system. This helps reduce the cost of hiring workers to feed the chickens, limit food spillage, and ensure barn hygiene. Using self-mixed feed instead of industrial feed can save 10 - 20% of feed costs.
To continue promoting the application of CGH in agricultural production, localities need to improve rural infrastructure, intra-field traffic, drainage systems, promote land accumulation and concentration, facilitate the application of CGH in production, and meet the requirements of large-scale agricultural development in the direction of concentrated goods in localities. At the same time, encourage people to proactively invest in purchasing machinery and applying CGH in cultivation, livestock and aquaculture to improve production efficiency.
