Transforming production thinking
Mrs. H'Yiam's family in Ko Tam village, Ea Tu commune, Buon Ma Thuot city has 3.4 hectares of coffee. Previously, farming according to old practices, using a lot of chemical fertilizers, crop yields were not high. Not only low yield, using a lot of chemicals also affects the soil, causing environmental pollution. Joining the Ea Tu Cong Bang Agricultural and Service Cooperative, Mrs. H'Yiam has been regularly trained and guided to apply science and technology in production, resulting in higher coffee yields. If before, about 5 tons of coffee beans were harvested each year, now with the same area, her family harvests 7 tons of coffee beans.
“In cooperation with the coffee cooperative, we sell coffee at a higher price than the market price. My family was also instructed to intercrop pepper and durian in the coffee garden, increasing production efficiency,” Ms. H'Yiam shared.
Strengthening linkages in agricultural production has become an inevitable trend. Thereby, gradually overcoming the situation of fragmented and small-scale production, bringing production towards concentration, meeting market demand..."
Mr. Nguyen Hoai Duong, former Director of Dak Lak Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
It is known that the Ea Tu Agricultural and Service Cooperative, Ea Tu Commune, Buon Ma Thuot City, cooperates with 350 households growing coffee in the commune, mainly ethnic minorities, with a total area of about 320 hectares. To increase the value of the products, the Cooperative guides people to change old farming practices, produce coffee according to international standards and certifications from the process of care, harvesting, preliminary processing, processing of coffee powder... Not only applying coffee production technology, improving productivity and product value, the Cooperative also cooperates with export enterprises, forming value chains, building brands for the Ea Tu coffee region.
Similarly, also wishing to create high-quality coffee products imbued with the cultural identity of the Ede people, Mr. Y Pot Nie, in K'la hamlet, Dray Sap commune, Krong Ana district, Dak Lak province, has developed the Ede coffee brand.
In order to build a safe raw material area, Mr. Y Pok mobilized the villagers to cooperate with Ede Cafe Company Limited, changing to safe organic farming methods, ensuring quality. Up to now, more than 100 ethnic minority households in the area have joined the association, with an area of about 200 hectares of coffee cultivated in the organic direction. With technical and capital support, the area of coffee associated with the association has developed stably, with high productivity, and the income of the people has increased significantly.
Mr. Y Pok Nie said: Production linkage not only helps villagers change their production habits, increase crop productivity, and increase income, but also helps businesses proactively source quality raw materials... Thereby contributing significantly to poverty reduction, moving towards building commodity production.
Sustainable agricultural development
Dak Lak province currently has 470 cooperatives operating in the agricultural sector, of which about 150 cooperatives participate in commodity production chains. Many cooperatives have boldly changed production methods, improved quality and operational efficiency, transformed production structures, and applied new science and technology to increase productivity, quality, and operational efficiency.
According to Mr. Nguyen Hoai Duong, former Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dak Lak, Head of the Provincial Committee for Religion and Mass Mobilization, in the context of constantly fluctuating agricultural product prices, strengthening linkages in agricultural production has become an inevitable trend. The linkages have gradually overcome the situation of fragmented and small-scale production, bringing production towards concentration, meeting market demand.
Dak Lak Agriculture Department is calling for investment in building production and consumption chains for agricultural products, especially for key crops. Developing concentrated production areas, promoting the advantages and potentials of each region to promote production organization according to the linkage and cooperation model. Currently, most of the linkage chains are focusing on key products such as coffee, pepper, rice, and fruit trees.
With the consensus of farmers, cooperatives, enterprises and the government, many agricultural production linkage models in Dak Lak province, especially in ethnic minority areas, have brought about practical results. The close linkage between farmers, cooperatives and enterprises not only creates harmonious development in the value chain, but is also a way for agricultural production to overcome market challenges, towards sustainable agriculture.
