In recent times, the province has focused on directing sectors and localities to strengthen the management of agricultural product quality; promote information, propaganda and guidance for organizations and individuals to strictly comply with State regulations on agricultural, forestry and fishery production; promote administrative reform to create a favorable environment for people and businesses to produce and trade safe agricultural, forestry and fishery products.
In order to raise awareness among farmers, information, education and communication work is carried out by interested sectors. Information and propaganda activities on food safety have been implemented by units and localities during the holidays, Tet, and the month of action for food safety quality. In 2024, the provincial level organized 6 training conferences with 274 officials in charge; the district level organized 212 training courses for over 10,000 agricultural food production and trading establishments; distributed nearly 61,500 leaflets; hundreds of news and propaganda articles on mass media to ensure food safety...
The organization of agricultural, forestry and fishery production and business to ensure quality and food safety continues to be focused on; agricultural development is promoted towards large-scale commodity production, and the application of science and technology is enhanced. Concentrated production areas continue to be built and developed according to value chains, organic, circular, and emission reduction; organic growing areas (organic rice, organic tea) are formed and maintained; the work of granting and managing growing area codes for export and domestic consumption is promoted, product quality is improved, and a stable position is established in the consumer market.
Currently, the province has formed a number of concentrated commodity production areas on rice, vegetables, and fruit trees, with an area of about 6,358 hectares (equivalent to more than 10,900 hectares of cultivated land); about 1,100 hectares of crops maintain production according to good agricultural production processes, of which 322.35 hectares have been granted VietGAP certificates; 90 hectares of rice and 329 hectares of cinnamon (with an output of about 479 tons/year) have been granted organic production certificates. To date, 63 growing area codes have been granted with a total area of over 1,528 hectares (of which 46 growing area codes serve export and 17 growing area codes serve domestic consumption).
Many advanced technologies and crop production models, applying scientific and technological advances to crop production are applied, commonly in greenhouses, membrane houses, applying insect monitoring systems, and water-saving irrigation. The integrated plant pest management program is actively implemented, contributing to controlling the situation of harmful organisms on crops, minimizing the amount of pesticides, and rationally using agricultural materials to create conditions for applying sustainable and environmentally friendly production techniques, saving resources and energy in production.
Livestock farming activities have also changed significantly, shifting from small-scale, scattered farming to household farming and farm farming applying science and technology. Aquaculture activities have reorganized farming space, developing farming according to the value chain.
For agricultural, forestry and fishery processing and primary processing facilities, most have developed and applied advanced quality management programs (GMP, SSOP, HACCP, ISO 22,000...).
The whole province has issued food safety certificates to establishments producing and trading agricultural, forestry and aquatic products, reaching 100% of the plan (999 establishments); organized the signing of commitments to produce and trade safe food, reaching 100% of the plan (25,759 establishments). Units have proactively organized product sampling, monitoring pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, chemicals, preservatives, food additives, microorganisms, food safety for key agricultural, forestry and aquatic products, products with large output, OCOP products in the province, from the production, preliminary processing, processing to circulation and consumption, in order to promptly detect and warn of risks and stages causing food safety loss for products in the province.
Along with that, focus on exploiting and using the database system to trace the origin of safe agricultural, forestry and aquatic products. By the end of 2024, 2,489 QR codes had been created for agricultural and aquatic products participating in the system; 343,073 QR code stamps to trace the origin of agricultural, forestry and aquatic products had been printed and issued.
At the same time, continue to develop in the direction of improving the quality of OCOP products; up to now, the whole province has 405 OCOP products of 13 localities achieving 3-5 stars, in 2024 there will be 4 potential products competing for 5 stars at the national level; there are 178 production entities with products achieving 3-5 stars.
