(HBO) - Towards a green and environmentally-friendly agriculture, many agricultural cooperatives in Hoa Binh province have used biological products in pest prevention and control and composted organic fertilisers to manure plants. Green agricultural models have helped reduce production costs, create clean and safe food for consumers, and at the same time create a healthy living environment.

Clean agricultural products which meet food hygiene and
safety standards are an indispensable need in the current period. With its role
and function of protecting, representing and supporting collective economic
organisations, over the past time, the provincial Cooperative Alliance has
organised many activities to support cooperatives with opportunities to access
to clean agricultural production; and create chances for cooperatives and
businesses to boost linkages in production and consumption, and form supply chains
under contracts.
In 2021, the alliance organised 11 workshops and 30 events
connecting businesses and cooperatives. Since the beginning of this year, nine
seminars have been held in nine districts for businesses and suppliers to meet
and discuss with cooperatives and local authorities.
Tran An Dinh, chairman of the alliance, emphasised that to
protect the environment and limit the use of pesticides and fertilisers,
recently, the alliance called for OXFAM’s support for the implementation of an
initiative to raise public awareness about the Law on Environmental Protection
towards changing the behaviour of using fertilisers and pesticides in
production for its members in Cao Phong district. Implementing the initiative,
the alliance has organised training for its members and farmer households
associated with cooperatives in the district.
It has also held workshops to share the results of the
implementation of the environmentally-friendly agricultural production models
with local people. In the coming time, the alliance will organise mobile groups
to disseminate information about the Law on Environmental Protection and
environmentally-friendly production.
Since the beginning of this year, under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Sub-Department of Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Product Quality Management has strengthened the integration of the professional activities to promote and guide the organizations and individuals in the production and trading of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to comply with the legal regulations regarding the use of chemicals, pesticides and veterinary medicines in crop cultivation, livestock farming and aquaculture. They also provide guidance to processing and manufacturing establishments on keeping the records to trace the product origins and using food additives from the approved list according to the regulations.
