(HBO) – Building chain agricultural production models is a new way to help farmers sustainably improve products’ value. In particular, as Mai Chau district’s agricultural sector is on small scale, linkage is very necessary, especially manufacturing in value chain in tandem with branding. Under the chain agricultural development policy, Mai Chau district has carried out two projects on growing garlic and quash using funding from the national target programme on new rural development in Mai Hich commune since 2017.
Accordingly, participating
households received State support with 70 percent of seedlings and varieties, 5
percent of fertilisers, and training courses on plant growth periods. An automatic
irrigation system have been built to serve three hectares of safe vegetables in
Hai Son hamlet, 56 percent of the project’s cost will be sourced from the local
budget and the remaining for workforce was from farming households.
These are value chains linking
farmers with businesses which will be responsible for the supply of seedlings,
intensive farming guidance, pest control and consumption.
