Help farmers confidently master techniques
In 2024, the Hanoi Agricultural Extension Center organized 4 training courses on management and operation techniques for mechanized machinery for 200 farmers and machine owners who directly manage and use agricultural machinery in 4 districts: Quoc Oai, Soc Son, Thach That and Thanh Oai.
Attending the training course, the trainees were introduced to types of machines and mechanized equipment in agricultural production by lecturers from the Faculty of Electromechanics - Vietnam Academy of Agriculture and agricultural machinery technicians; at the same time, they were given technical guidance and practice in operating, maintaining and repairing some types of machines and mechanical equipment, focusing on machines serving synchronous rice production such as: combine harvesters, tillers, transplanters, etc.
Nguyen Duy Nam, Head of the Agricultural Extension Fund Management Department (Hanoi Agricultural Extension Center), shared that the training course mainly attracted mechanics, machine owners, and cooperative members. For example, in the practice of repairing and maintaining transplanters, the trainees were "hand-held" by experts from Kubota Vietnam Company, instructed on how to maintain the machine, engine, disassemble, and repair some small details that are often encountered during operation such as: gear lever, steering wire, shifting bar, transplanter chain, etc.
Talking about the effectiveness of the training course, Director of Viet Yen Agricultural Cooperative (Quoc Oai district) Do Huu Du said that the mechanics and machine owners were very excited because they were equipped with basic knowledge about machine maintenance to minimize mid-season machine breakdown and increase machine life.
When common problems occur, the machine owner can repair and restore operations without the intervention of experts or technicians and without affecting the seasonal factor. As for cooperatives, they can feel more secure in mechanizing the sowing and planting process in the fields, boldly accumulate land, build large fields for commodity production, and increase value for high economic efficiency.
Promoting the effectiveness of Agricultural Promotion Fund capital
Nowadays, mechanized machines serving agricultural production are becoming more and more modern, so organizing training courses will be an opportunity for new machinery, equipment and technology products with practical effects to reach farmers; at the same time, further improving knowledge about machinery and mechanized equipment in agricultural production so that farmers can apply them in practice locally. In addition, bringing machine suppliers closer to farmers in developing support channels and customer care.
Director of Hanoi Agricultural Extension Center Vu Thi Huong said that starting from 2018, from the operating budget of the City Agricultural Extension Fund, the center annually organizes training courses to improve the techniques of using agricultural machinery for hundreds of mechanics and machine owners in districts in the city.
Organizing training courses to help users of agricultural machinery not only improve their capacity and skills in managing, using, operating and maintaining agricultural machinery and equipment, but also help households use and make good use of loans from the City Agricultural Promotion Fund to purchase mechanization for production.
Notably, in order to expand the area of mechanization in agricultural production, especially increasing the rate in rice planting in Hanoi, in recent times, the Hanoi Agricultural Extension Center has promoted the construction and implementation of models of mechanization in production; actively appraised and disbursed loans to households from the Agricultural Extension Fund to purchase machines and mechanical equipment to improve quality, reduce post-harvest losses, and create diverse products of high quality to meet market demand.
Along with that, the center strengthens coordination with enterprises providing agricultural equipment and machinery to support people and localities to increase the rate of mechanization in the area.
In recent times, the Hanoi Agricultural Promotion Fund has supported mechanization loans with a maximum loan amount of 100% of product value and 100% management fee support for 3 years for organizations and individuals in the city. Implementation has shown that mechanization loan solutions applied in agricultural production have all worked well and are highly effective, helping farmers reduce labor and production costs, increase income and meet the urgency of the season; contributing to the cause of industrialization and modernization of agriculture and rural areas."
