Converting ineffective crop structure to growing fruit trees not only increases people's income but also contributes to promoting the socio-economic development of a remote commune like Nam Ninh (Cat Tien district).

| Models of converting crops to durian cultivation in Nam Ninh commune bring high economic efficiency. |
Returning to Nam Ninh commune these days, what impressed us most were the spacious tiled-roof houses nestled among the durian gardens laden with fruit, green and pleasing to the eye. Thanks to the correct conversion of crop structure, the economic picture of Nam Ninh commune has bright colors with many significant changes.
Following the staff of the Farmers' Association of Nam Ninh commune, we visited the model garden of durian growing about 1 hectare of Mr. Dang Van Tuan's family in My Bac village, Nam Ninh commune. At this time, his family is busy with the final care work before selling to traders. Mr. Tuan said that this year, durian is officially exported to China, so it is very valuable. In addition, his durian garden is also involved in the association and is located in a common certified growing area code, so traders compete to buy very early. It is expected that this year, his durian garden will bring in an income of over 500 million VND for his family.
Mr. Tuan shared that Nanning is a purely agricultural locality, people's lives mainly depend on rice, cashew trees and livestock development on a household scale. Although the majority of households here have large cultivated land funds, however, because most of the land area cultivated by people is mountainous areas, previously only cashew trees were cultivated, so the economic efficiency was very low. He realized that, compared to localities with similar natural conditions such as Da Huoai, Da Teh, people here have switched to growing many types of fruit trees and have been successful. Therefore, after a period of research and learning from experience, in 2017, Mr. Tuan decided to destroy an area of 1 hectare of cashew and proceed to use excavators to renovate the garden; at the same time, dig more ponds to store water for irrigation.
On an area of 1 hectare, Mr. Tuan grows more than 200 durian trees, mainly Ri6 and Dona varieties. Thanks to the good application of scientific and technical guidance measures, Mr. Tuan's durian garden has developed well, and in 2022 alone, it has yielded a harvest but achieved a total income of more than 300 million VND. Currently, Mr. Tuan's durian garden has been recognized by the People's Committee of Cat Tien district as meeting model garden standards; a common growing area code has been issued to serve the purpose of tracing the origin when exporting.
Mr. Pham Van Binh - Vice Chairman of Nam Ninh Commune People's Committee shared that Nam Ninh is a commune with quite complex terrain with low hills and mountains interspersed. Faced with that reality, the Party Committee and the commune government have researched and based on natural conditions, climate, and soil to determine the main crops; in which, fruit trees such as durian and grapefruit are suitable directions. From there, the locality has stepped up propaganda and mobilized people to convert ineffective cultivated land to produce these crops. On the other hand, since 2020, the Party Committee and the commune government of Nam Ninh commune have had a policy of converting crop structure and included this content in the Resolution of the Commune Party Congress for the term 2020 - 2025. Up to now, converting crop structure has become a strong development movement in the commune.
From 2022 to present, Nam Ninh commune has a total cashew area of 1,071 hectares, a decrease of 115 hectares. This area has been converted by people to other crops such as durian 41 hectares, bringing the total durian area to 60.15 hectares; orange, tangerine, grapefruit, mango, jackfruit, star apple 4.2 hectares, bringing the total area to 14.55 hectares; rubber 17 hectares, bringing the total area to 19.3 hectares; forestry trees 21.15 hectares (oil, ironwood, rosewood, and rosewood); 10.3 hectares of raw materials (bamboo); acacia 18.35 hectares, bringing the total area to 91.89 hectares. For durian, Nam Ninh commune has built and been granted 6 growing area codes.
The effectiveness of crop restructuring has helped many households in Nam Ninh commune increase their income and improve their lives. According to the review results, it is expected that by the end of June 2023, the commune's poverty rate will decrease to 4.42%; of which, the poverty rate in ethnic minority areas is 5.88%. In the coming time, the People's Committee of Nam Ninh commune will continue to direct people to increase visits to fields and gardens to proactively propagate and recommend measures to prevent and control pests and diseases on crops and livestock, apply technical advances in production; focus on commodity agricultural production associated with the application of science and technology in production, gradually forming links and chain links in the production and consumption of agricultural products. At the same time, promote propaganda and mobilize people to change crop and livestock structure, restructure agriculture, adapt to climate change, renovate household gardens and mixed gardens, convert ineffective cashew hills to grow grafted cashews and crops with high economic efficiency, Mr. Binh added.
