Provincial leaders visit hi-tech agricuture farms

The pharmaceutical plant, owned by Vu Gia JSC, was built to farm polyscias fruticosa, and yellow flower tea that are used in the medicine industry and food.

Yellow flower tea is a rare medicinal plant that is effective in lowering fat and blood sugar, supports blood circulation, and more.

Currently, the Vu Gia pharmaceutical plant JSC is applying high technologies to cultivate trees and successfully multiply 1,000 yellow flower tea plants for mass growing in the time to come.

Later, Mrs. Thanh and her entourage visited a goat farm in Tam Diep city, and a special pig and chicken farms in Nho Quan district.

At the farms, Mrs Thanh highly valued the owners' efforts in applying scientific and technological advances in production and business, as well as boosting links with farmers in Ninh Binh and other localities.

She said the farm owners should exert their efforts to produce good products from goats, thus building a brand name for the specialty of Ninh Binh province.

They must pay attention to controlling animal diseases as well as environmental protection during the process of production and business, she added.

Same day, Chairman of the provincial People's Council Tran Hong Quang and representatives of sectors and branches paid a visit to the district of Yen Mo to inspect the pilot use of machinery in planting rice and a safe vegetable farm in Yen Khanh district.

Chairman of the provincial People's Council Tran Hong Quang visits farm in Yen Khanh district.

In recent years, farmers in Yen khanh district have applied high technologies in cultivation, so they could earn more profits. Most of them have joined programmes to grow vegetables with technical support from the provincial Hi-tech Application Centre for Agriculture.

Under this model, vegetables and fruit are planted in glasshouses watered by automated irrigation systems and the cultivation process is in conformity to VIETGAP.

During the working visit, Mr Quang encouraged farmers to continue applying the hi-tech agricultural model, meeting the demand of the industrial revolution 4.0 and helping the province realize its goal of having a sustainable hi-tech agriculture sector in place by 2020.
