Wednesday - 20/07/2011 06:05
In recent years, Agriculture of Dong Nai has been oriented stable development. One hundred percent of new plants and animal breeds have been used for production. Technology and scientific advance application has been really boosted.

* Development orientation transition of the province has been appropriate.

In four years of implementing five-year plan (2006-2010), although there have been a lot of difficulties in agriculture production due to natural disasters such as flood sweeping, resulting to water logging, bird flu epidemic, blue pig ear disease, foot and mouth disease, brown backed rice plant hopper,  yellow dwarf, and dwarf curl leaf, continuous price increase making production expense grow dramatically, which have affected people’s income.

However, the average agricultural output value in four years is 5.57% up, achieving the resolution’s targets (resolution’s targets increased by 5% to 5.5% in average). The output value mechanism of agriculture, forestry, and aquaculture in 2006-2009 has transferred with the right orientation as the plan target set.

By 2009, density of agriculture occupies 90.4% (meaning 91.95% under planning target set); that of forestry accounts for 1.07% (0.92% up, compared with the planning target set) and that of aquaculture makes up for 8.53% (7.14% exceeding planning target). In agriculture, output value transition to cultivation is up and to farming is down. If in 2006, density of cultivation accounted for 69.37%, but in 2009, that decreased to 66.45%; animal husbandry density from 26.34% increased to 29.65%, which is appropriate to the branch’s  planning. 

*Achievements need to be expanded

Many more new fishes put into use
To gain these achievements, agriculture sector has actively applied new varieties and technical advances in production.

Up to now, 100% areas for corn, rice, sugar cane, beans and 90% areas for manioc have been cultivated with new varieties. New varieties of cashew trees and fruit trees with higher productivity and quality have been applied.    

 Currently, one hundred percent of rice areas have been cultivated with such new varieties that have high productivity, quality grade as OM 35-36, VND 95-20, OM 4717, AS 996-7, etc. For corn, one hundred percent of corn areas have been cultivated with new hybrid corn that is F1 with high productivity, good quality, and high ability to ward off pestilent insect. 

 Moreover, by cultivating plants inside shade net house covered with nilon, applying integrated watering in vegetables, using clean water, using clean fertilizer timely, using safe plant protection medicine, etc. have brought about high economic effects to agriculture sector. For the time being, area of vegetables in the locality is about 2,400 hectares. Five units have got certificates to plant safe vegetables in 51 hectares, consisting of Trang Dai Cooperative, Phu Dong Cooperative, Truong An Cooperative, Xuan Bac Cooperative and Dong Nai plant variety joint stock company.

The sector successfully applied safe vegetable production model in shade net house for 45 hectares of leaf vegetable crops, eighty percent of new varieties with specific addresses in production. Seventy percent of crawling vegetables have been applied with sensible agricultural film. The sector also studied, selected and revigorates new varieties of soy bean such as G87-5, MTĐ 176, DT 84, etc., planted new varieties of manioc with high productivity and amount of starch such as KM 98-1, KM 98-2, etc., which made productivity to increase from 178 quintals per hectare to 300 quintals per hectare.   

With its objective that is to make the province’s agriculture follow right orientation and enhance its capability to export agricultural products, over the past time, the sector has deployed trials of Good Agricultural Practice model in three vegetable hectares, ten pomelo hectares, and mango hectares; deploy the major plant and animal project in the province in order to develop major products with advantages. Besides, the sector has carried out a lot of agricultural encouragement projects to support agricultural production capability of the poor.

In animal husbandry, biotech application has been boosted for cow, pig and chicken crossbreeding to create new varieties with high productivity, quality of meat, egg and milk.  

Up to now, the program on crossbreeding sperms of Zebu bulls and yellow ones in the locality to breed Sind cross-bred cows that have big bodies and productivity. For pig, from 1996 to now, over 500 male pigs such as Yorkshire, Landrace, Duroc have been imported to breed new breeds with high productivity and high amount of lean.  

Particularly, in recent years, the modern-oriented industrial chicken raising has been applied broadly and brought out high economic effect with a various free-range chicken breeds of color feather chickens such as Luong Phuong, Tam Hoang, etc. For aquaculture, many new models have been put into use effectively such as models of raising anabas, Dieu Hong fish, Mystus wyckioides, sea-eel, black tiger shrimp, etc.   

However, as evaluated by the agriculture sector, it has faced a lot of difficulties. For example, first of all, it is stable output for agricultural products; irrigation work system has not met demands; most of areas for animal husbandry and cultivation have dispersed so that it has been very difficult to deploy programs and agricultural encouragement projects, etc.     

To increase agricultural output value more and more, agriculture sector determines that it is necessary to build goods production area with rational and firm mechanism on the foundation of bringing into full play comparative advantage comparison. Points to be focused are promoting scientific and technological application, making a lot of high quality products to meet various demands  of customers and enhance competitive capability in domestic and international markets, enhancing effects of using land, labors, capital, actively prevent pestilent insects and reducing damages resulting from pestilent insects, etc.
