According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vinh Cuu (Dong Nai) district, pomelo is considered the main crop of the district, covering a total area of ​​nearly 1,300 hectares. The determination of organic agricultural production helps to create safe agricultural products, create ecological balance in the soil, develop sustainable agriculture and local ecotourism, so the IMO solution was chosen by the district to include it in the project of ecological Agriculture and the transparent origin to develop biological products in the period 2020 – 2025.

From 2020, Vinh Cuu district will start implementing a pilot model of treating food waste by IMO treatment method in three model residential areas of Tan Binh, Hieu Liem and Vinh Tan communes.

Starting from traditional agriculture, local people have gradually used probiotics in organic agricultural development, environmental treatment, by-products, agricultural waste for composting and fertilizer production to reduce production costs and be safe for farmers and consumers.

For example, in Binh Loi Municipality, Mr. Tran Thanh Tuan has saved tens of millions of dongs in chemical fertilizers and pesticides on average every year with 1.6ha of pomelos using fertilizers from IMO Probiotics. “When this fertilizer is composted, it has reduced about 50% of the amount of chemical fertilizers, when there is more to do, it can completely replace chemical fertilizers,” Tuan said.

The head of Vinh Cuu District Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr. Nguyen Tran Phuoc Loc, said that so far the district has organized more than 2,000 farmers in the district to attend training sessions on basic issues of production Organic farming and open training sessions for Farmers on methods of self-production, application of probiotic bacteria (IMO) and yeast alcohol (MEVI) for the production of organic fertilizers, biological pesticides, treatment of household waste at source into organic fertilizer for production, treatment of farm animal stall fouling, deodorization of waste , sewers, toilets in schools…

In addition, experts also impart technology for the economical processing and preservation of agricultural products using natural methods (long-term fruit preservation with yeast, solar drying, jam production, etc.), processing of fermented products, etc.). To create output for products, the district organizes guidance and support for farmers to improve their ability to self-market agricultural product brands and diversify distribution channels.

“The district does not support with money, but the district party committee, the committee has a policy of hiring advisory units, hiring experts for transfer, bringing all processes to the people. Through efforts together with farmers to practice clean agriculture, there are more than 500 farm households in the district till now, the IMO and MEVI for crop production (organic fertilizer composting, biological pesticide production) for more than 200 ha. fruit trees, vegetables use . More than 70 livestock farms and farms apply IMO and MEVI to treat livestock environment…

At present, all 11 townships and cities of Vinh Cuu district have applied IMO in production at the same time, laying a foundation for the development of clean agriculture. Vinh Cuu builds and plans 9 areas of organic agricultural production with crops such as rice, vegetables, mango, citrus… In the following years, Vinh Cuu district will introduce IMO to 121 rural communities throughout Dong Nai province and create conditions for many Farmers across the country to visit the model,” stressed Mr. Nguyen Tran Phuoc Loc.

According to the Dong Nai Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the town has implemented many programs and plans to develop organic farming, particularly promoting the application of IMO and MEVI techniques to crop production. The development of organic farming is also one of four landmark tasks for the 2020-2025 term under the resolution of the 11th Dong Nai Provincial Party Congress.

In order to achieve this goal, in the past, municipalities have developed many programs and plans for the development of organic agriculture, in particular to promote the application of IMO and MEVI techniques (self-composting, production of pesticides, biology, treatment of livestock sheds) in the crop production .

Up to now, the province has more than 700 farm households applying IMO and MEVI techniques for crop production of more than 200 ha of fruit trees and vegetables; More than 100 livestock farms and farms are using the above techniques to treat the environment in livestock. In the coming period, the local agricultural sector will continue to push the application of IMO and MEVI techniques in production.
