This is due to the impact of natural disasters.
Especially, the damage of African swine fever has caused the province’s pig herd
to decline. Particularly, chickens increased by 5.53% over the same period,
accounting for 95.12% of total poultry. Such other fields as cultivation,
services, forestry and fisheries continued to achieve high growth rates.
Specifically, crops have grown and developed well,
and localities have effectively prevented the epidemics, drought and flooding in
plants, which helps to reduce the damage of crops. The application of science
and technology in agricultural production has been increasingly expanded,
contributing to promoting production development.
In September, more than 38,000 ha of crops were
cultivate, up by nearly 0.8% over the same period last year. In particular, rice
crops accounted for the largest area of more than 18,400 ha; followed by corn
with more than 10,400 hectares. Some crops with a strong increase in area
include beans of all kinds with nearly 1,500 hectares, up by over 2.5%;
vegetables of all kinds have nearly 4,000 hectares, up by nearly 2%; and so on.
In terms of forestry, the forest coverage rate is
still stable at 56%, and the forest coverage rate is nearly 30%. No big
violations have occurred to cause serious impacts on forest resources. The rate
of rural households using clean water according to national standards reached
72.8%.
Regarding the tasks and solutions in the last months
of the year, according to Mr. Vo Van Chanh, Vice Chairman of the provincial
People’s Committee, the program of large fields and establishment of chains are
an important solution for sustainable agricultural development.
Particularly, local authorities are supposed to pay
more attention to the implementation of support policies to attract businesses
and people to actively participate in. In addition, localities have to consider
the implementation of the rural clean water indicator as a key task with the
goal of achieving at least 75% of rural households using clean water according
to national standards.
