General Secretary: Every farmer should be an entrepreneur of the land.

(Dan Tri) - General Secretary To Lam emphasized that each farmer should be a pioneer soldier on the food security front; be an entrepreneur of the land; be an "ecological engineer" protecting land, water, forests, and seas;...

On the occasion of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Farmers' Union (October 14, 1930 - October 14, 2025), on the afternoon of October 14, at the Party Central Committee Headquarters, General Secretary To Lam met with 95 delegates of outstanding Vietnamese Farmers and Scientists of Farmers in 2025.

At the meeting, Party Central Committee member and President of the Vietnam Farmers' Union Luong Quoc Doan said that in recent years, under the leadership of the Party, the Vietnam Farmers' Union has constantly innovated its content and methods of operation, making the work of the Union and the farmers' movement more and more substantial, shifting from a formal movement to concrete effectiveness associated with the practical interests of members and farmers.

Congratulating all cadres and members of the Vietnam Farmers' Union, praising 95 outstanding farmers and farmers' scientists in 2025, General Secretary To Lam emphasized that throughout the nation's historical journey, farmers have always been a strategic force: producing food; creating, preserving and developing culture; and being the foundation of the great national unity bloc.

Resolution 19-NQ/TW of the Central Committee on agriculture, farmers and rural areas defines "Agriculture as a national advantage, a pillar of the economy". In recent years, no matter how difficult the situation is, agriculture has always achieved positive results, being a solid foundation for the country's breakthrough developments.

The General Secretary expressed his joy at witnessing more and more examples of hard work and creativity in agriculture, as well as initiatives and scientific topics. Behind the numbers is the desire to rise up, the spirit of creativity, daring to think and act, contributing to raising the brand of Vietnamese agricultural products.

Through each story, we can see the nuances of the professional, modern farmers and the "Farmer Scientists" who are truly the bridge to bring knowledge and technology into fields, barns, factories, turning ideas into productivity, quality and added value. These are the premises for agriculture, farmers and rural areas to develop rapidly in the coming time.

The General Secretary said that our country is entering a new stage of development, with the historic mission of realizing the two 100-year goals of the nation. The goal of continuous double-digit growth poses many challenges. To achieve strategic goals, not only requires extraordinary efforts, but also does not allow for delay, laxity, inaccuracy, lack of synchronization, and lack of rhythm in every step.

Regarding the agricultural sector, the Politburo is directing a preliminary review and assessment of the implementation of Resolution 19-NQ/TW of the Central Committee to have policies to continue developing agriculture, farmers and rural areas in the coming time.

In order for agriculture to make a breakthrough, for the countryside to be rich and beautiful, and for farmers to be happy, the General Secretary believes that it is necessary to put farmers at the center. Each farmer is a pioneer on the food security front; an entrepreneur of the land; an "ecological engineer" protecting land, water, forests, and seas; a cultural subject maintaining family traditions, village conventions, festivals, traditional crafts, and nurturing Vietnamese cultural identity in the flow of integration.

The General Secretary emphasized that science and technology must be put right at the heart of production. Scientists should go to the fields, to the farms, to the processing factories. Enterprises and cooperatives should accompany farmers to standardize processes, standardize quality, improve traceability and food safety, meet the standards of demanding markets; constantly innovate to develop agriculture.

Each commune-level unit should set a target of at least one key branded product… Develop green, circular, climate-adaptive agriculture, shifting from “expanding output” to increasing productivity and quality, reducing emissions, and saving water, fertilizers, and animal feed. Bioeconomy and circular agricultural economy must become the main direction of advanced new rural areas.

The General Secretary wishes to build a civilized, secure, and affectionate countryside; let's join hands to make each village truly a "livable place": with sustainable jobs, culture, a clean, secure, and safe environment.

The General Secretary affirmed that the honored excellent farmers and farmers' scientists must be the torches spreading the spirit of innovation and creativity, the desire to enrich the community legitimately, helping other farming households to rise up; be the nucleus to build and replicate cooperative economic models, link production according to the value chain, and apply advanced science and technology in production.
