The Politburo has just issued Resolution No. 46-NQ/TW dated December 20, 2023 on innovation and improving the quality of activities of the Vietnam Farmers' Union to meet the requirements of revolutionary tasks in the new period (Resolution 46). The goal of Resolution 46 is to perform well the representative role, encourage farmers to raise their awareness, responsibility, qualifications, actively participate in the development of ecological agriculture, modern countryside, civilized farmers...
Strengthening the political core role
According to the assessment of the Politburo, in recent years, implementing the Party's innovation policy, the activities of the Vietnam Farmers' Union and the farmers' movement have achieved important results, contributing to improving farmers' lives, developing the socio-economy, ensuring national defense and security. Farmers' Unions at all levels have strengthened their core political role, focused on the grassroots, innovated the content and methods of operation. At the same time, they have promoted propaganda, mobilization, improved the effectiveness of farmer support activities, promoted the role of farmers as the main subjects in agricultural development, rural economy, and new rural construction...
However, the activities of the Vietnam Farmers' Association are still limited and inadequate, due to the lack of strong innovation in the content and methods of operation; and the potential and creativity of farmers have not been aroused. The development of the farmers' movement is uneven, and at times and in some places, the effectiveness is not high. The poverty rate among farmers is still high, especially in remote areas, ethnic minority areas, etc.
Therefore, the content of Resolution 46 clearly states that the guiding viewpoint of the Politburo is to ensure the leadership of the Party over the farmers' association and the farmers' movement, improve the material and spiritual life of farmers and build the association organization as the responsibility of the political and social system under the leadership of the Party. Accordingly, Resolution 46 sets out the specific goal of striving to recruit 200,000 or more new farmers' association members every year; 100% of full-time farmers' association officials at all levels and heads of farmers' association branches are trained in knowledge and skills. Vocational training and development for 250,000 or more farmers' association members and rural workers; training and improving the qualifications and skills of 50,000 excellent farmers, good farmers in production and business at district level and above. Establishing 5,000 new professional farmers' association groups, 500 professional farmers' association branches, etc.
Is a bridge connecting with "3 houses"
To achieve these goals, the main tasks and solutions set forth by the Politburo are to innovate propaganda, mobilization, gathering, and uniting farmers, and improving the effectiveness of the farmers' movement. Create conditions for farmers to access issues related to effective and sustainable agricultural development, integrating multiple values, improving competitiveness, participating in production chains, value chains, green and organic agriculture, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to consolidate and improve the organizational apparatus, build a team of cadres with sufficient qualities and capacity to meet the requirements of the tasks. Continue to consolidate and improve the organization of farmers' associations at all levels in the direction of being close to the grassroots, practical, effective, and suitable for the development process; promptly remove obstacles and shortcomings in the organization model and operating mechanism of the association.
Another important solution is to improve the quality of vocational training and development for farmers and rural workers, and service activities, consulting, and supporting farmers in developing production and business. Specifically, create conditions and encourage farmers and rural workers to learn vocational skills, improve their capacity in association with models of good farmers in production and business. The Farmers' Association plays a good role as a bridge connecting farmers with enterprises, scientists and the State. Along with that, encourage farmers to actively participate in national target programs, patriotic emulation movements, and campaigns. Promote the role of the Farmers' Association in monitoring, social criticism, and building a clean and strong Party and political system. Strengthen the leadership of the Party, the coordination of the government, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations and mass organizations with the Farmers' Association.
In Binh Thuan, after Resolution 46 was issued, the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department recently issued guidelines for propagating, disseminating and implementing Resolution 46, with the requirement to carry out seriously and qualitatively, associated with innovation in content and methods of implementation suitable to the conditions and characteristics of agencies, units and localities. In particular, cadres, party members, union members, members of associations and soldiers of the armed forces are responsible for studying and implementing the resolution; People are informed of the basic contents of the resolution. The purpose is to raise awareness and responsibility of Party committees, Party organizations, authorities, political systems, cadres, party members and people, creating high unity in the Party and society about the important position and role of the Vietnam Farmers' Union in the process of implementing national development goals...
Obviously, in the current context, the birth of Resolution 46 is of great significance, serving as a driving force to encourage and motivate the farmers’ movement. Thereby affirming the particularly important role of farmers and the Vietnam Farmers’ Union in developing the agricultural and rural economy and building new rural areas.
