Thursday, October 6, 2022

YBO - Despite complicated developments of weather, Yen Bai province’s summer-autumn crop production this year has basically achieved the assigned plan. In particular, the production of food crops exceeded the target in terms of area, and is expected to surpass the grain food production target for the whole year.

Farmers in Nghia Loi commune, Nghia Lo township harvest corn in the summer-autumn crop.

The growing area of the summer-autumn rice crop was estimated at over 22,200 hectares, 0.6% higher than the plan, of which 48.6% was cultivated with hybrid rice variety. The area of rice early harvested before September 30 was 8,000 hectares.

The productivity was estimated to reach 49.05 quintals per hectare, while the total output was estimated at 108,900 tonnes, 1.4% higher than the plan.

For maize, the growing area of the summer-autumn crop was estimated at 8,904 hectares, 0.3% higher than the plan. The productivity was estimated at 33.06 quintals per hectare, and the total output 29,440 tonnes. In addition, the area and output of short-term industrial crops and vegetables of all kinds such as sweet potato, peanut, vegetables, beans, cassava and tea were also maintained as planned.

The productivity of the summer-autumn crop was estimated to reach 49.05 quintals per hectare, while the total output was estimated at 108,900 tonnes, 1.4% higher than the plan.

The localities also performed well the forecasting of pests and diseases on crops, and early directed the implementation of pest control, so the damage on the main crops was basically reduced. Farmers are also provided with timely, safe and effective technical measures to deal with infested areas.

During the crop, technical advances in seeds, fertilisers and farming have been widely applied by local people. Agricultural mechanisation has received due attention and investment, contributing to improving labour productivity and reducing pressure on human resources.

From now to the end of the crop, localities will actively prevent late-season rains and floods from affecting rice yield; and mobilise vehicles and human resources to quickly harvest ripe rice.

Yen Bai will prepare enough seeds and fertilizers to supply for the winter crop to promptly meet the production needs of districts, towns and Yen Bai city.
