Producing organic fertiliser from straw (Photo: VNA) Those are among targets set in a project on promotion of production and use oforganic fertilisers until 2030 with a vision to 2050 that has been approved by theMinistry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
Also under the project, 100% of available rawmaterials from farming, husbandry, fisheries and household waste will be used asorganic fertiliser on both household and industrial production scales.
In the shorter term, the agricultural sector aims to raise theproportion of licensed organic fertiliser products to over 30% ofthe total number of fertiliser products on the market, while increasing the organicfertiliser production capacity of qualified production facilities to 5 milliontonnes per year.
At the same time, the amount of industrial organic fertiliser is expected toaccount for at least 30% of the total amount of fertiliser used in agriculturalproduction. The amount of organic fertiliser produced on a household scale usedin agricultural production is hoped to reach at least 20 million tonnes per year.
The agricultural sector also aims to build effective cultivation models using organicfertilisers for nine key groups of crops, namely rice, coffee, rubber,cashew, pepper, tea, fruit trees, vegetables, and cassava.
The ministry sees the production and use of organic fertiliser based on utilising agricultural by-products is an inevitable trend of Vietnam's agricultural sector. It is also a sustainable solution to reducing the use of inorganic fertiliser and the dependence on imports.
To this end, along with the optimising the use of agricultural by-products, theMARD will complete a system of technical criteria and standards as well as the testingsystem for organic fertilisers, and support farmers in applying advancedtechnologies and provide them with guidelines in fertiliser use.
It will create favourable conditions for the registration and licencing oforganic fertilisers, while encouraging the development, production and use oforganic fertilisers among farmer households by making full use of agriculturalby-products and daily waste./.
