Finding ways to adapt to climate change
Opening the dialogue, Ms. Hoang Thi My Linh, Cao Lang village, Dak D'rong commune, Cu Jut district shared: In recent years, the agricultural sector of Dak Nong province has suffered heavy losses due to climate change.
So in the coming time, what orientations and solutions will the Provincial People's Committee and sectors have to help farmers produce sustainable agriculture and adapt to climate change?
Regarding this content, Mr. Pham Tuan Anh, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development shared: Climate change is a very hot issue, receiving the attention of all of us.
Agriculture is a sector vulnerable to climate change. Faced with this situation, based on the direction of the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has advised the issuance of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TU dated August 17, 2022 of the Provincial Party Committee on sustainable agricultural development, adapting to climate change.
Mr. Pham Tuan Anh also shared that in 2024, Dak Nong was affected by natural disasters that damaged over 8,000 hectares of crops. However, thanks to proactive solutions and adaptation by farmers, the impact was greatly reduced.
In the long term, the agricultural sector and the province have implemented solutions and brought about positive results. First of all, the solution is crop conversion. Monoculture crops are converted to multi-crop, multi-layer cultivation to limit risks.
The province encourages people to change their farming methods. They combine traditional and modern production, limit the use of fertilizers and toxic chemicals, and switch to organic production, saving input costs and increasing product value.
In addition, thanks to support programs and projects, people have gradually organized production in the direction of reducing emissions. Specifically, in Gia Nghia and Dak R'lap, there are 3,000 hectares of coffee produced in the direction of reducing emissions. These are solutions and methods implemented by the agricultural sector and the Provincial People's Committee.
"In the coming time, the province will support farmers in choosing crop varieties that increase resilience, save water, and contribute to sustainable agricultural development," said Mr. Pham Tuan Anh.
Attracting investment in agriculture
Mr. Vu Thanh Hoai, Director of Farm Cooperative, Thuan Ha Commune, Dak Song District, asked: What policies does the Provincial People's Committee have to call for investment in building factories for preliminary processing, preservation, and processing of agricultural products, creating jobs for rural workers and forming a model of linking agricultural product consumption between enterprises and farmers through cooperatives and cooperatives?
Regarding this issue, Mr. Tran Dinh Ninh, Director of the Department of Planning and Investment, shared that Resolution No. 31 of the Provincial People's Council issued on December 31, 2023 has very high support content for cooperatives, up to 1.2 billion VND to buy machinery and equipment and support up to 3 billion VND to build factories and processing areas.
In addition, there is Decision 167 of the Prime Minister on developing model cooperatives; Decision 677 of the Provincial People's Committee on supporting investment in developing production according to the value chain.
The province's investment attraction policy has Resolution 25 issued at the end of 2023 on supporting businesses, including agriculture.
In 2024, the province allocated capital to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to support 4 cooperatives with 5 billion VND. Although the province still faces many difficulties, in the period of 2021-2025, the province has supported enterprises and cooperatives with tens of billions of VND to develop production and business.
On the afternoon of December 27, 2024, Chairman of Dak Nong Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Muoi chaired the 2024 Dialogue Conference with Farmers. The conference was attended by over 200 delegates who were farmers, representatives of cooperatives and cooperative groups in Dak Nong province.
