Promoting mechanization - the driving force for high-tech agriculture

Farmers in Nam Nung commune use machines in rice cultivation

Nam Nung Commune is a locality with a fairly large agricultural production area with short-term crops mainly rice, corn, sweet potatoes and long-term crops including coffee and rubber. According to Mr. Nguyen Xuan Danh - Chairman of Nam Nung Commune People's Committee, the locality still faces some difficulties due to the terrain being fragmented in many places, and the land owned by households being small in area.

Currently, the commune is promoting the restructuring of the agricultural sector in association with the construction of high-tech agricultural zones, adapting to climate change. To do this, agricultural mechanization is considered a key solution task. In particular, the locality has a number of bases and premises from practice to propagate and mobilize people to replicate land linkages and apply synchronous production.

Specifically, Nam Nung commune has a high-tech agricultural production area associated with the development of agricultural processing industry according to the coffee value chain in Nam Tien village. To continue the above results, the locality mobilizes households to strengthen land linkages to create large fields, especially fields for growing coffee, rice, and corn. This is the basis for people to promote mechanization, applying synchronously both machinery in many stages such as: from land preparation, sowing; synchronous care and harvesting processes to create synchronization in quality and design of agricultural products when reaching consumers.

According to Mr. Pham Van Anh, Nam Xuan village, Nam Nung commune, for many years now, his family has used plows and harrows to produce rice and corn. He sees that applying machines to production has many benefits such as: farmers are more proactive in their work, increase the amount of work in the same time, ensure the crop schedule, and reduce losses during harvesting, thus improving economic efficiency.

In Nam Da commune, according to Mr. Ngo Xuan Dong - Chairman of the Commune People's Committee, the locality considers agriculture as a driving force and pillar for the economy. In the period of 2025 - 2030, the commune will continue to develop agriculture in the direction of applying high technology, clean production associated with environmental protection and tourism services; pay attention to building and supporting more local OCOP products. Nam Da focuses on supporting innovation in production methods in agriculture; encouraging and creating conditions for people to accumulate land through the formation of cooperatives and cooperatives.

From there, quickly overcome the situation of fragmented and small-scale agricultural production to promote mechanization and apply science and technology more synchronously. At the same time, Nam Da uses and makes good use of internal resources and investment capital, creating synchronization in rural infrastructure such as: transportation, internal irrigation, electricity to facilitate the application of mechanization and science and technology by the people.

According to the assessment of the agricultural and environmental sector, the application of mechanization in agricultural production in localities in the western region of Lam Dong has achieved encouraging results, but the rate is not high and uneven in all stages, so the effectiveness has not been breakthrough.

Based on the above reality, the agricultural sector and localities of Lam Dong province have proposed many major solutions to continue planning concentrated production areas, building large fields associated with production, consumption and processing chains of agricultural products. The province promotes the application of synchronous mechanization associated with value chains, high technology applications; encourages households and businesses to invest in purchasing machinery suitable to local production conditions. From there, promoting the process of shifting from agricultural production to agricultural economic development.
