During the spring crop, the district plans to cultivate 4,290 ha, with 1,950 ha of rice, 1,740 ha of other crops, and 600 ha of other annual plants. The district has completed rice growing while about 22.7 percent of the crop area has been covered.

According to the district Division of Agriculture and Rural Development, the cultivation has been conducted on schedule, thanks to thorough preparations in varieties, materials and fertilisers.

The prices of varieties and materials have remained stable, with diverse types, ensuring the production progress. Luong Son district has sown 60 tonnes of rice, all of which have been qualified.

 

Before devising the spring crop production plan, the district People’s Committee had instructed communes and townships to review the inefficient areas of rice and crops and replace them with higher-value plants like galangal, lemongrass and vegetables.

Since the beginning of this year, the committee also adopted an anti-drought plan, and asked communes and townships to outline irrigation plans for the spring crop.

 

Nguyen Thi Hien from Phu Ngoc hamlet, Cu Yen commune said this year’s spring weather is favourable to rice cultivation.

"My family began growing rice on the second day of the lunar new year, and completed the work on the fifth day,” she said. "This year, we have about 1,500 sq.m of rice.”

 

Apart from farming, the husbandry, aquaculture and forestry production have also developed stably.

The district counts 13,051 buffaloes and cows, 46,704 pigs, and 1.3 million fowls, with no major diseases on the livestock and poultry.

 

Localities expect to have 360 ha of aquatic products. Meanwhile, about 9,000 trees have been grown across the district.

Luong Son has made good performance in forest management and protection, with no fires and violations of the Law on Forest Protection and Development.

Product consumption chains have been formed in the district in order to promote local products like organic vegetables, citrus and banana. Cooperatives and cooperative groups have worked to win the OCOP title for their products.

Nguyen Duc Anh, Vice Chairman of the district People’s Committee, said the district is resolved to maintain and promote the quality of new-style rural communes and advanced new-style rural communes this year.

It aims to have two additional advanced new-style rural communes and two model new-style rural communes in the year, and more than two products winning the provincial-level OCOP status in the year. /.
