(HBO) - In 2017, the District People's Committee assigned the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to coordinate with An Lac Commune to exploit 5 hectares of horn chillis F1 hybrid No.20, which has linkage in production and consumption of products under the Project of Linking production and consumption of chilli and pumpkin to ensure food safety in Lac Thuy district in the period of 2017-2018. The model has initially brought efficiency and is now replicating more in the area.

The model of growing chilli for export is in pilot
implemention in An Phu village, An Lac commune (Lac Thuy).
As being the commune selected to implement the
model of chilli planting, An Lac commune is located 18 km away from the center
of the district. The living condition of most people here is very difficult. The
implementation of linking production in the value chain in agriculture will
ensure the formation of concentrated commodity production areas and stabilize
output for agricultural products to reduce the market risks, increasing the
scale of production applying science – technology, increasing the key products
of the locality, linking the participation of the State - enterprises -
cooperatives and farmers in the value chain. An Lac Agriculture Service
Cooperative, Vietnam Chili Limited Company and farmers in An Lac Commune
implemented the model on the project area of 4 hectares with 10 households of
An Phu village to participate from 0.3- 0.5 hectares. To implement the model, the Department of Agriculture and Rural
Development in coordination with An Lac commune and other functional units held
a conference to propagate, launch
the content of the projects, guiding farmers to register
for technical training for farmers and witnessing the signing ceremony of the contract of linking and consuming the products; monitoring the implementation of
the contract between the parties. The
local people started sowing seeds in mid-October, 2017. After about 1 month
nursing, bythe middle of November, they were planted in the field. By March, 2018, they were ready for harvest. As a result, the fruit was big,long and ripe at the same time, fruit was at the weight of 70 items / kg, equivalent to the
yield of 1.2 tons / miles. With the average selling price of 5,000 VND
/ kg, after deducting the cost, the income
was at over VND 4.7 million / mile. The farmers earned 131
million VND in each hectare, which was much higher income than maize growing.
Thanks to the effective
model from An Phu village, in 2018, the area of chilli planting for export has
been expanded in the district. An Lac commune has expanded to 6 hectares, 5 hectares in Hung Thi commune, 4 hectares in Lac Long and 2 hectaresin Chi Ne
town.
