Vietnamese agriculture, but not as you know it

Hoà’s pigs enjoy their natural habitat. - VNS Photo Khoa Thư Viet Nam News By Khoa Thư QUẢNG TRỊ - A herd of pigs runs up a high hill, in front of them, a vast farm spreads out, reaching the horizon. The image may be strange for most Vietnamese people, with the mindset that domestic livestock are usually kept in cages. Nguyễn Thị Hoà’s farm in Triệu Thượng Commune, Quảng Trị Province, offers pigs precious freedom that their fellow animals rarely enjoy. “We are the first and also the only farm in the whole area that rears pigs in their natural habitat,” Hoà said. “They find and eat whatever they like. They run as far as they can, to every corner of this 10 ha farm. Our pork, therefore, has distinct characteristics of colour, taste and balanced fat ratio that normal farms cannot offer,” she added. Pork, however, is not the only specialty offered by Hoà. Up to 1,500 chickens are also farmed on the space. Instead of simply pouring instant pre-mixed food out of bags, … [Read more...] about Vietnamese agriculture, but not as you know it

An Giang develops advanced poultry breeding model

Veterinary staff vaccinate ducks against bird flu. – VNA/VNS Photo Viet Nam News HCM CITY – The Mekong Delta province of An Giang has around 4.3 million poultry, 4.2 per cent up from the same time last year, according to its Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. It has produced more than 5,780 tonnes of poultry meat and 208 million eggs so far this year, up 7.5 per cent and 2 per cent year-on-year. The breeding is done mostly by households, with each raising 50 - 100 birds, usually ducks and chickens. Many farmers also breed 2,000 – 10,000 free-range ducks on their rice fields. This fetches them a large income since they do not have to buy food for the birds, which forage in the fields. The province’s Agriculture Extension Centre is developing a poultry farming model using advanced breeding techniques in 2017-20. Breeders are encouraged to use probiotic liners on the ground in their facilities to prevent disease outbreaks and reduce the pollution caused by … [Read more...] about An Giang develops advanced poultry breeding model

Only the Thais should be jubilant

Only the Thais should be jubilant By Nguyen Duy Nghia A Thai trade fair in HCMC – PHOTO: THANH HOA At a press conference held in Hanoi to disseminate information on Thai Festival 2019, the Thai ambassador to Vietnam expressed optimism about the possible achievement of the goal of Vietnam-Thailand bilateral trade hitting US$20 billion by 2020. This target was set at the third meeting of the Vietnam-Thailand Joint Committee on Trade in August 2018, which also aims to even out the trade balance between the two nations. Given what has happened to bilateral trade to date, only the Thai side should be happy with this. In 2015-2017, the two-way trade between Vietnam and Thailand grew 15.5% per year on average. In 2018, it amounted to US$17.673 billion, a rise of 13.6% from the preceding year. The figure for the first six months of 2019 was US$8.809 billion, up 9.3% year-on-year.
