To farmer "live" with cashew

At the meeting the Executive Committee of Binh Phuoc Provincial Party 5th (Xth) took place on 5-10, many farmers in the province to pay special attention to the recommendations of the Secretary of the District Party Committee Policy BGM support farmers and help farmers thing "live" with cashew. Following a period enriched with cashew gardens, so that now the desire "to live" with cashew.

Binh Phuoc province has acreage and yield the greatest thing in the country. With farmers, cashew close as a companion in life.   Thanks to a lot of trees which poverty has gradually overcome difficulties and strive to stabilize their lives. The fact was confirmed cashew economic value, but the habits of farmers to the ever-changing needs of the market. So when certain plant products of high value people are racing to grow, but as prices fell again felled. A few years ago, continuous rubber fell by no consumer market, price increases of raw cashew nuts. At present, the domestic cashew prices rose to their highest level ever (55 thousand / kg), but farmers do not benefit because it sold early, not to mention earlier, hundreds of thousands of hectares that cut away to switch to other crops. This suggests that, if the farmers are not "faithful" with cashew is not only difficult for their families but also to destabilize the region for business material.

The province has never had a policy to expand cashew tight rubber area, because it is considered one of the main crops. Under the scheme for sustainable development of the cashew sector in Binh Phuoc to 2020, the province launched a stable target area of trees by intensive, focused renovation and replanting old area of low productivity. Along with that, the agricultural sector will make the province a new breed, assist farmers to apply advanced science and technology, promote intercropping to increase productivity, product quality, contributing to increased income. Vietnam Cashew Association (Vinacas) has a working session with provincial leaders to find ways to cooperate to improve productivity, quality and value of cashew nuts, to take advantage of new opportunities to expand this sector. According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, to implement sustainable development projects that by 2020 the industry, future capital needs should total over 684 billion. Of these, 50.5 billion provincial budget; Central support 101 billion; from 44.5 billion now; loans and farmers have over 488 billion. This capital will be allocated according to the schedule, beginning in 2017. In particular, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has proposed PPC also soon allocate funds perform orchard renovation project, forming specialized farming standards in the district VietGAP BGM, as a basis replication deployment in the coming years.

To exploit the potential of land and development strengths in Binh Phuoc cashews are still a lot of work to do, but not so much a problem. Dated 26-8-2016, Union Cooperative Binh Phuoc it was established on the basis of the needs of farmers associated in cashew production in the province. Members of the Cooperative Union of Binh Phuoc that include cooperatives: Dong Nai, Thanh Phat (Bu Dang), BGM (BGM) and Phuoc Hung (Dong Xoai) with 478 members. This is a cooperative organization first large scale of the industry in the province. Next time, if the Union Cooperative Binh Phuoc that efficient farmers would not only "survive" that will have many opportunities to get rich with cashew.
