Wide adaptability
Since 2015, the yellow sticky rice variety has been planted in the fields of Soc Son district with a scale of about 200 hectares. The cultivation area of the new rice variety is mainly concentrated in the communes: Tan Hung (120 hectares), Phu Minh (40 hectares), Bac Phu (30 hectares)...
Particularly, the yellow sticky rice production area of Phu Minh commune was put into production and maintained since 1984. The yellow sticky rice variety of this locality was also successfully restored by Soc Son district.
Thanks to its high yield and quality, the Golden Flower Sticky Rice variety brings in a much higher economic value than the traditional Khang Dan rice variety that was widely grown before. The cultivation area of this rice variety is also continuously expanding.
According to statistics, by 2024, the whole Soc Son district has cultivated nearly 700 hectares of yellow sticky rice. Of which, the largest production area is concentrated in Bac Phu commune (250 hectares), followed by the communes: Tan Hung (220 hectares), Trung Gia (45 hectares), Phu Minh (41 hectares), Viet Long (40 hectares) ...
Deputy Head of the Economic Department of Soc Son district Pham Van Binh said that in order to support the development and expansion of the yellow sticky rice variety, in the 2024 Summer-Autumn crop, the locality has deployed production support for farmers in 8 communes in 18 production areas, with a total area of nearly 303.6 hectares.
Accordingly, the district supports 50% of the yellow sticky rice varieties for the above areas of 8 communes. The results of the evaluation of the 2024 Summer-Autumn crop show that in the safe, VietGAP yellow sticky rice production areas, the rice plants have good growth and development, strong tillering, high uniformity of the variety population, especially the ability to adapt widely to different soil areas.
Promote mechanization of production
According to reports from supported communes, the average yield of the yellow sticky rice variety is 160 - 180 kg dry/sao (4.6 - 5 tons dry/ha). With the current selling price of yellow sticky rice at the field, the economic efficiency of cultivating the yellow sticky rice variety is 700,000 - 800,000 VND/sao higher than that of growing Khang Dan rice variety (if sold fresh).
With the attention and support of the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Intellectual Property Office (Ministry of Science and Technology), the yellow sticky rice production area of Soc Son district was granted the collective trademark "Soc Son yellow sticky rice" in November 2015.
Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Soc Son District Do Minh Tuan said that based on the above reality, the People's Committee of the district has assigned the Economic Department to continue to coordinate with agencies under the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, relevant departments and People's Committees of communes in the district to continue expanding the production area of yellow sticky rice towards commodities in the following years. At the same time, building the brand "Soc Son yellow sticky rice" into a strong brand of the district and Hanoi City.
In the coming time, Mr. Do Minh Tuan said that the District People's Committee will continue to direct the Agricultural Service Center, the Economic Department and the communes, in coordination with the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to promote the application of synchronous mechanization in production. Especially applying the model of tray plating, transplanting machines, sowing, SRI, and machine drying step by step to free up labor and increase production efficiency.
Research and develop synchronous and preferential policies to call for businesses to cooperate and invest in the agricultural sector, especially in areas producing yellow sticky rice in the direction of concentrated commodities, creating a closed process from production, processing and trade promotion to product consumption.
The representative of Soc Son district also requested the Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to continue to pay attention to and support training, management, and specialized techniques to improve the professional qualifications of officials and farmers in the production and intensive cultivation of specialty yellow sticky rice; issue certificates of areas eligible for producing VietGAP and organic products; issue codes for growing areas and certify products that meet OCOP standards to contribute to enhancing the brand value of "Soc Son yellow sticky rice".
