Organic and circular agricultural production

In the context of climate change, the demand for environmental protection and public health is increasing, the province's crop sector has been promoting restructuring towards green, organic and circular. This is not only an inevitable trend, but also a strategic requirement to ensure sustainable development, increase farmers' income and increase the competitiveness of agricultural products in the international market.

Green agriculture is gradually becoming clearer

Owning 120,000m2 ^of greenhouses on a total area of ​​nearly 60ha, Danny Green Organic Farm of Seagull ADC Co., Ltd. (Phuoc Dinh commune) is considered the organic agricultural farm with the largest and most modern greenhouse area in the province, including a specialized production area for melons and cantaloupes certified organic by Japan (JAS), the United States (USDA) and an area for restoring native varieties. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Thuan - Director of Seagull ADC Co., Ltd. said: "Firmly oriented towards organic production, at a time when high-tech agricultural production and organic production were still new, the company said no to chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides... Officially launched on the market at the end of 2019, Danny Green Organic Farm prioritizes nutritional value and safety; this is also the year Danny Green Organic Farm achieved the Organic JAS standard issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan". With a commitment to ensuring the supply of clean, green and healthy food for consumers, Danny Green Organic Farm has now affirmed its standards with distribution partners such as: Co.opmart, Big C, Annam Gourmet, Farmer's Market... and the system of control stores Danny Green Biomart, Danny Green Fruit & Bakery.

Not far away, the safe vegetable area of ​​An Hai village (Phuoc Dinh commune) with hundreds of hectares, has achieved VietGAP, GlobalGAP and Organic certificates. Mr. Nguyen Van Tien - owner of Tien Tien Organic Farm (Phuoc Dinh commune) said: "Our closed-loop agricultural production process utilizes all products on the farm. Waste products of asparagus, peanuts, sesame... will be used as a source of food for a herd of more than 500 cows; cow manure is used to raise earthworms; earthworm manure is used as fertilizer for asparagus, peanuts, sesame and some herbs, leafy vegetables; earthworm meat is used as a source of food for fish, chickens...". After only one year of testing, the agricultural and livestock products of Tien Tien farm have been certified as meeting Organic standards by the US Department of Agriculture and the European Union, helping the farm bring in tens of billions of VND in revenue per year. Currently, the farm has expanded to facilities 2 and 3 with more than 200 hectares, developing high-tech agricultural economy ; projects on planting, raising livestock and regreening bare hills are all well adapted and bring high economic efficiency. "The success of the farm not only contributes to creating jobs for more than 100 local workers with a stable income of more than 10 million VND/month, but it is also a focal point for consulting, technical support and consumption of agricultural products for nearly 200 farming households of Tuan Tu Cooperative, completing the chain of organic agricultural production links, gradually improving the lives and income of local people", Mr. Tien emphasized.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Thuan - Head of the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection, Department of Agriculture and Environment said: "The province's crop production industry is at a pivotal stage, green, organic and circular production is no longer a pilot model, but has become the main orientation. The crop structure continues to be adjusted towards efficiency, the area of ​​food crops and fruit trees with high economic value is expanded. In the first 9 months of 2025 alone, the area of ​​crop structure conversion reached more than 1,260 hectares, contributing to improving land use efficiency, adapting to climate and market conditions. Notably, the area of ​​high-tech production reached 426 hectares, an increase of more than 81% over the same period last year; the area of ​​organic certified crops reached 5,599 hectares, including special products such as cashews, melons, asparagus, mangoes, longans, dates, etc. This is an important step forward to affirm the brand of local agricultural products, as well as expanding the ability to penetrate high-end markets. In addition, sustainable, resource-saving and environmentally friendly production models such as "1 must, 5 reductions", water-saving irrigation, apple netting, safe vegetable production... continue to be replicated, helping to save costs, reduce emissions, protect the environment and increase farmers' income. In addition, the industry has strengthened the supervision of agricultural materials, granted food safety certificates to many establishments; at the same time, promoted propaganda, built safe growing areas... Thanks to that, agricultural products increasingly meet strict requirements on quality and traceability". These results have contributed to increasing farmers' income, creating motivation to attract businesses to invest in green agriculture, affirming the province's right direction in the process of modernizing the crop industry.

Decisive steps are needed

From the province's natural advantages, to build and develop green, circular agriculture towards improving productivity, quality, reducing emissions, increasing the value of agricultural products, meeting the strict requirements of the domestic and international markets, in the coming time, the provincial crop sector will continue to review and advise on issuing financial support mechanisms and green credit for farmers, businesses and cooperatives to invest in high technology and sustainable production processes. In particular, the Center for Research and Application of Green Agricultural Technology will be established soon, helping to connect science and technology with production practices. Along with that, the sector will continue to convert inefficient crops to high-value crops, replicate large-field models, build production-consumption linkage chains; expand the area of ​​high-tech, organic production, encourage circular agricultural models, apply advanced science and technology; strengthen propaganda, guidance and inspection to meet domestic and international plant quarantine and food safety standards.

Danny Green Organic Farm of Seagull ADC Company Limited is an organic agricultural farm with the largest and most modern greenhouse area in the province.

In addition, the industry is actively building a land database for the 2026-2030 period to manage and use land sustainably, improve productivity; coordinate the organization of supply-demand connection conferences, agricultural markets, guidance on production according to domestic and export standards, control of chemical residues; develop agricultural databases, apply AI, IoT, blockchain to trace origins, analyze markets and expand exports. The industry will also develop experiential tourism (harvesting agricultural products, visiting farms), build an agricultural tourism brand associated with indigenous culture, enhance rural economic value; create green livelihoods for people through OCOP models associated with eco-tourism. At the same time, focus on raising awareness and skills for farmers through technical training and necessary tools to apply organic methods, promote coordination with businesses in the agricultural sector, research and international organizations to transfer technology, develop clean agricultural products associated with environmental protection.
