When farmers are empowered and given capital
In recent years, many households in Tien Canh commune, Tien Phuoc district have converted acacia land to fruit trees, with encouragement and support from local authorities. A typical example is the model of converting acacia land to fruit trees of Mr. Truong Van Sanh's family (70 years old, village 2, Tien Canh commune) with initial results.
Mr. Truong Van Sanh is harvesting guava. According to Mr. Sanh, to "make ends meet", he intercrops guava, Thai jackfruit, and banana trees...
Implementing Resolution 35 of the Provincial People's Council on developing garden economy and farm economy (period 2021 - 2025), Mr. Truong Van Sanh's family has boldly converted nearly 1.2 hectares of land growing acacia to invest in growing fruit trees such as mangosteen, durian, green-skinned grapefruit...
Mr. Sanh said that his family used to grow hybrid acacia trees on this Go land, but the acacia trees were swept away by a storm while they were growing. Since then, he decided to stop growing acacia trees and switch to investing in growing fruit trees.
Thinking is doing, Mr. Sanh hired an excavator to clear the road, leveled the soil, dug up rocks to improve the land and piled them into neat rows to plant valuable fruit trees. Among them, the family planted 115 mangosteen trees, 85 durian trees, 80 green-skinned grapefruit trees, and 800 areca trees. To "take the short term to support the long term", Mr. Sanh intercropped guava, Thai jackfruit, and banana trees...
Tien Phuoc is known as the land of the largest fruit orchard in Quang Nam province. A farmer in Tien Tho commune next to a fruit orchard full of fruit.
"Investing in multi-crop, multi-layer, multi-tree gardening, not focusing on one type of tree, will make full use of the land, using the short term to support the long term.
This tree compensates for another tree, when this tree fails, another tree will compensate, planted like this, the garden will provide income all year round.
To have a source of water for the fruit trees, I dug a well nearly 80m deep at the foot of the hill and installed a pipeline system nearly 1km long to pump water to the reservoir to irrigate the plants. The irrigation system was invested in semi-automatic, dripping under the tree roots, ensuring water in the dry season and saving water.
Thanks to careful investment and care, the plants are about 2 years old and are growing well. Currently, some crops such as areca, guava, and dwarf banana have begun to be harvested," Mr. Sanh shared.
Many households in Tien Tho commune have stepped up garden renovation thanks to Resolution 35 of the Provincial People's Council and Project 03 of Tien Phuoc district.
Looking at the orchard of various kinds of fruit trees growing green after only two years of planting, Mr. Sanh could not hide his joy. "The orchard is growing well, especially guava, banana and areca trees have been harvested. On the same area, compared to growing acacia, growing fruit trees gives many times more income.
In addition to taking care of the Go Hill garden, my wife and I also invested in renovating our home garden of more than 16 sao, planting fruit trees such as longan, do bau, areca, bananas of all kinds... Each year the garden brings in an income of approximately 100 million VND," Mr. Sanh said excitedly.
During the process of developing the fruit garden, Tien Canh commune officials and the district Agricultural Technical Center came down to guide the preparation of documents and procedures for implementing Resolution 35 and received post-investment support from the state with an amount of nearly 75 million VND. It is known that Tien Canh is one of the leading localities in the district in implementing Project 03 and Resolution 35.
Thanks to practical Resolutions, many garden owners in Quang Nam are making a lot of money from fruit trees.
Mr. Vo Duy Nhan - Officer of Tien Phuoc District Agricultural Technical Center said: "Shifting the crop structure from acacia trees to fruit trees with high economic value is a direction to help farmers improve production efficiency and increase income.
In recent times, the Center has regularly coordinated with communes and towns to organize training courses on science and technology in planting and caring for fruit trees. Along with training, Center staff also go to gardens to directly guide farmers on care, irrigation, and pest control. Thereby, contributing to helping farmers invest in expanding the area of fruit trees for high economic efficiency."
Resolution to help farmers get rich
Like Tien Canh, Resolution 35 encouraged and guided Tien Tho farmers to renovate mixed gardens and change crop structure.
Along with farmers' experience, support policies on seedlings, irrigation systems, and technical training organized by authorities at all levels have become a driving force for Tien Tho garden economy.
A typical example is the fruit garden of more than 5 sao of Mr. Huynh Duc Le (village 5, Tien Tho commune). Previously, Mr. Le worked as a worker for construction contractors in the district and province. About 10 years ago, Mr. Le returned to his hometown to focus on renovating and arranging his garden, planting valuable fruit trees such as mangosteen, durian, green-skinned grapefruit, areca nut, banana...
Like Tien Canh, Resolution 35 encouraged and guided Tien Tho farmers to renovate mixed gardens and change crop structure.
To ensure that the plants grow well, Mr. Le invested in building a reservoir and installing a nearly 1km long water supply system from Ho Xanh Mountain to irrigate the plants. Thanks to careful care, the plants in the garden grow well, bringing in an annual income of about 50 million VND.
In particular, in the past 3 years since Tien Tho commune mobilized people to develop garden economy and farm economy according to Resolution 35 of the Provincial People's Council, Mr. Le continued to boldly invest in planting 38 new mangosteen trees, installing a semi-automatic irrigation system for the garden and pulling B40 steel mesh to fence the entire garden. Along with that, Mr. Le's family also focused on renovating the fence and gate in a green-clean-beautiful and effective direction and was supported by the District People's Committee and Tien Tho commune with nearly 49 million VND.
According to the report of Tien Tho Commune People's Committee from 2022 - 2024, the whole commune has 72 households registered to implement, the state inspected and accepted post-investment support of over 2.7 billion VND.
Of which, in 2022, 28 households registered to implement on an area of 10 hectares, with a state budget of 784 million VND. In 2023, 33 households registered to implement on an area of over 8.3 hectares, with a state budget of over 1.3 billion VND. In 2024, 11 households registered to implement according to Resolution 35 of the province with a total area of 2.85 hectares, with a total implementation budget of over 966 million VND, of which the district approved the support plan of over 626 million VND.
Mangosteen gardens of Tien Tho farmers are lush. According to the report of Tien Tho Commune People's Committee from 2022 - 2024, the whole commune has 72 households registered to implement, the state inspected and accepted post-investment support of over 2.7 billion VND.
"The quality of garden models implemented according to Resolution 35 of the Provincial People's Council has been invested in by the people in a synchronous and methodical manner, and has been highly appreciated by the District People's Committee through supervision and actual inspection.
The level of intensive farming, application of scientific and technical advances, and pest control by farmers have had positive changes. Thanks to that, the lives of people in the district are increasingly better...", said the leader of Tien Phuoc District People's Committee.
Fruit orchards full of fruit, giving high income
Mr. Le Nguyen Hung - Chairman of Tien Tho Commune People's Committee, Tien Phuoc District, acknowledged that the garden economy and farm economy in Tien Tho are developing in the right direction and achieving positive results thanks to the response and active participation of local people. "It can be said that Resolution 35 of the Provincial People's Council has been gradually penetrating into the lives of each Tien Tho resident, initially bringing practical results, contributing to the construction of new rural areas and sustainable poverty reduction, promoting the steady development of Tien Tho's economy and society...", Mr. Hung emphasized.
According to statistics, the total garden area in Tien Phuoc district is 6,214 hectares, of which the economically effective area is 5,844 hectares, accounting for 77%. In the period of 2020 - 2023, the whole district has 1,285 households supported to develop garden economy and farm economy with a total budget of about 40 billion VND. Of which, the funding source from Resolution 35-Provincial People's Council is over 20 billion VND.
