  • Lam Dong: Re cashew cultivation

    Apr 26th, 2015

    <p></p><p>This is a crop of large area in three southern districts of Lam Dong (Da Huoai, Da Teh, and Cat Tien).</p><p>Along with the transition to orchard crops with high economic value, current, local authorities are focused on implementing replanting and orchard cultivation to improve economic efficiency.</p><p>Da Huoai district, by the end of 2014, the total area that is near 8.150ha, concentrated in the communes of Solidarity, P'Loa Da, Da M'ri, Ha Lam, Phuoc Loc, Madaguoi, Da Oai, already exists. Mr. Doi Kim Khoi, Deputy Department of Agriculture - Rural Development Da Huoai, said: "Currently, the cashew is the main source of income for many farmers in the district. To raise revenue, the last time, the district has been actively campaigning Huoai farmers pruning, Canopy, intensive farming ... Through 3 years cashew continuous motion, that productivity of the district have visible changes. If the 2013 yield was 8.16 kg / ha, the 2014 gain of 8.24 kg / ha and the expected 2015 reached 8.4 tons / ha. However, productivity and income from trees is very low, significant impact on the lives of farmers. The main reason is because seed is not guaranteed; many densely planted orchard too thick; Farmers are not interested in investment-intensive properly. Therefore, for those not previously planted orchard ensure quality seedlings and transplants combined intensive rehabilitation is essential work to improve productivity, quality orchard and raise incomes farmers ".</p><p>According to the plan, in the year 2015 - 2016, Da Huoai district will implement rehabilitation orchard grafting. Accordingly, FLC Da Huoai district will deploy 29 technical demonstration orchard grafting renovated in 10 communes and towns with a total area of about 15ha. Total cost implementation transplant improvement plan that in 2015 and 2016 2 is nearly 677 million. In particular, the State capital support nearly 413 million; rest by people reciprocal. However, one obstacle at present is the work of selection and seedlings started building the garden's line shoots (PPSD Lam Dong is promoting). Department orchard grafting renovated 2015's can not have a garden or tree shoots bullets capable of providing bulk grafts, serving mass transplant rehabilitation. Thus, similar to mining resources grafts this year mainly from the cashew seed farmers assert upstaged the other plants and from 8 years and older, high yield and minimum stability in recent 3 consecutive years. With orchard grafting improvement objectives set out will raise productivity to 2 tons / ha (from 2017) and reach 3 tonnes / ha (2020).</p><p>Also in Da Teh districts, which are plants with the 2nd largest area (after rice) with 7.131ha. According to Ngo Thi Nga, director of FLC Da Teh district, in the period 2007 - 2012, the district has implemented the scheme converting inefficient orchard, gardens to grow crops with high economic value such as rubber and fruit trees. Until now, the area needed and have the ability to switch was essentially done. Currently, Da Teh district continues to perform pruning, grafting renovated Canopy and orchard. In 2014, the district pruning, canopy created around 300ha thing and support to high-yielding varieties that farmers grow alternative for those areas not yet reached the standard of breed. Entering 2015, AI has developed program support, technical guidance and pruning, Canopy, renovated replanting grafting. Under this program, in 2015, Da Teh districts will perform pruning, canopy created 1.800ha area; build 10 models in eight transplant rehabilitation that communes with old orchard with a total area of 20 ha; support high-yield varieties grafted to growers replanting an area of approximately 200 ha. Currently, the district has conducted FLC sowing, seedling prepared to supply 40,000 people at the end of May, beginning of June 6. The total budget for program implementation on 1 billion. Currently, the capacity of Da Teh district that is 6-7 tons / ha / year. When replanting program implementation, intensive relief items are set by the district will increase productivity by more than 1 ton orchard / ha / year.</p><p>Along with Da Huoai and Da Teh, Cat Tien district is also implementing construction replanting scheme, intensive orchard productivity growth. Dong Nai Thuong Commune, where nearly 100% of ethnic minorities, commune Party Committee has concentrated on directing conversion plants (including trees) in concentrated, intensive product creating valuable commodity higher economic. Since then, the commune has focused on converting, renovating and stability that area from 815ha (2010) to 528ha (2014). In the next year, the goal of social stability is maintained approximately 500ha cashew yield from 1.5 to 2 tons / ha; Renovations converted into growing old orchard trees have a higher economic value, such as rubber, coffee, fruit. Tran Nam Dan, Head of Agriculture - Rural Development Cat Tien district, for that area, this year, Cat Tien district focused on technology transfer transplant renovation, conversion of old things to planting other valuables and other new plant varieties with high yield. Currently, that area of the district near 5.400ha, the average yield of 6.5 tons / ha. According to the overall planning of economic development - society 2020 Cat Tien district, the district will have 1,000 - 1,200 ha, it is converted to other crops have higher economic value. By 2015, the area which will hold steady at 4,000 hectares and perform intensive, conversions like to expand capacity by 1.5 to 1.6 tonnes / ha.<br></p><p>Currently, the Department of Agriculture - Rural Development Lam Dong province is also building replanting scheme, intensive orchard productivity growth at 3 Southern District period of 2016 - 2020. This project will help the three southern districts effectively implement renovating fruit orchard.<br></p><p></p>
