Leverage for developing large-scale, concentrated commodity agriculture
The most prominent is the mechanization policy in agricultural production according to Resolution 08. Up to now, the rate of machine-planted area in the whole city has increased by an average of 15%; in which some districts have high growth rates such as My Duc (19%), Phu Xuyen (10%), Me Linh (8%).
According to the assessment report of the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the policy of encouraging the mechanization of tray-planting and machine-planting production is a step forward in transferring new technical advances to agricultural production. Thereby, helping people change their small-scale rice production habits, freeing up labor, creating conditions for large-scale concentrated rice production, contributing to reducing costs and bringing high economic efficiency.
Actual implementation in the city shows that the cost of rice transplanting by machine is from 330,000 - 360,000 VND/sao (equivalent to about 9 million - 10 million VND/ha); manual transplanting costs from 400,000 - 500,000 VND/sao/day (equivalent to about 11 million - 13 million VND/ha). The transplanting machine has a capacity of 1.5 - 2.5 ha/day, about 30 - 50 times higher than manual labor. The actual yield at the machine transplanting sites in 2024 is 8-10% higher; giving an economic efficiency of 840,000 VND/sao (23.5 million VND/ha), higher than the traditional rice transplanting method of 240,000 VND/sao (equivalent to 6.7 million VND/ha).
In addition, the application of rice planting by machine and spraying pesticides by drones helps to minimize human labor, contributing to solving the difficulty of labor shortage during the crop season in many localities.
By applying the above two methods, farmers have access to science and technology in agricultural production, gradually changing small-scale production practices, creating the basis for forming large-scale rice fields, moving towards large-scale production of goods in the city.
At the same time, applying mechanization to production helps rice plants become healthier due to shallow planting, uniform rice density, promoting the border effect, airy rice fields with fewer pests and diseases, reducing the use of pesticides, contributing to environmental protection.
Implementing the environmental protection policy according to Resolution 08, most localities with agricultural production in the city have improved the effectiveness of environmental protection, limiting diseases in crop production, livestock and aquaculture. Many livestock and aquaculture facilities have been supported to improve the environment. Concentrated production areas have collected pesticide packaging according to regulations.
Farmers have actively used microbial products to process straw and crop by-products into organic fertilizers to improve soil, help increase soil fertility, limit pathogens remaining on by-products, and limit the spread of pests.
In addition, the restructuring of crop and livestock varieties continues to be implemented in the right direction, the production area of new, high-quality crop varieties continues to expand. Initially, some establishments have promoted digital transformation in agricultural production.
Districts and towns need to actively arrange funding to implement policies.
Assessing some difficulties and obstacles in implementation, Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Ta Van Tuong said: 2024 is the first year of implementing Resolution 08, so people are not yet ready to access support policies and mechanisms with new production methods (machine planting, spraying by plane).
Meanwhile, the allocation of funds to implement agricultural production policies in districts and towns is still limited, and some districts do not allocate funds at all. It is worth noting that some localities are reluctant to implement new and difficult contents, have not proactively researched regulations, and are not flexible in implementation.
In addition, some policies have not been implemented due to delays in planning or because people are still hesitant to register to participate in implementation, such as: Policies to encourage the production of plant, livestock and aquatic varieties; Policies to encourage the construction of facilities for preliminary processing, processing, preserving varieties and preserving agricultural products; Policies to support concentrated slaughterhouses for livestock and poultry; Policies to support and encourage the development of cooperation and association in the production and consumption of agricultural products; Policies to support the development of high-tech agriculture; Policies to support the issuance of growing area codes; Policies to support the construction of pilot models for the development of ecological agriculture combined with tourism and experience.
Therefore, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development proposed that the City People's Committee continue to direct the People's Committees of districts and towns to allocate funds to implement policies on training in production techniques, management skills, contract management capacity, chain management and market development; restructuring crops and aquatic products in concentrated specialized agricultural production areas; supporting and encouraging the development of cooperation and linkage in production and consumption of agricultural products according to the provisions of Resolution 08.
“By 2025, Hanoi will develop the capital's agriculture towards modernity, clean agriculture, organic agriculture, circular economy associated with the development of agricultural processing industry, adaptation to climate change and sustainable connection with the global agricultural value chain. Hanoi will also strongly develop green agriculture, smart ecology, associated with urban development, services, rural tourism, and experiential education. Therefore, the active implementation of policies to encourage agricultural development according to Resolution 08 by districts and towns plays a very important role and significance,” emphasized Nguyen Xuan Dai, Director of the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
