    Sep 15th, 2015

    <p></p><p>Recently, new plantings and yields have increased but now processed cashew exports still have to import raw materials from abroad. Therefore, in addition to investment in processing, intensive farming and breeding compound that is also a matter of interest to improve the domestic raw material, import restrictions next time. <br></p> <p>According to Nguyen Van Hoa, Deputy Director of Horticulture (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), in two years, this sector has gradually developed a clear, encouraging. In it, not to mention the management of things like good boost, improve productivity cashew in Vietnam. <br></p> <p>As of this moment, Vietnam has more than 300,000 ha of cashew, concentrated in the provinces of Binh Phuoc, Ba Ria Vung Tau, Dong Nai, Binh Thuan, Phu Yen, Binh Dinh, Dak Lak ... Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development the Vietnam Cashew Association building renovation project 200 points to 60,000 ha; which, replanting of 45,000 hectares, 15,000 hectares transplant rehabilitation. <br></p> <p>According to local reports of cashew as Dong Nai, Binh Phuoc, total production capacity of cashew seedlings present from 3.7 to 3.9 million plants / year, an average of about 200,000 plants / ha. In Binh Phuoc province which produce most 3 - 3.5 million plants / year, Binh Dinh Province 500,000 plants / year, Dong Nai 200,000 trees / year. This production capacity to fully meet the needs of new planting, replanting and planting grafted cashew renovated 10 provinces. <br></p> <p>In addition, many models orchard perform cumulative impacts of synthetic techniques as fertilizing, pruning, spraying Canopy and plant protection gives better results. Preliminary survey results and forecasts that 2015 production of this model would be higher than the garden that do not apply techniques from 20-50%. Specifically, the average yield reached 1.32 tons / ha, an increase of 10% compared with the average yield of 2014. <br></p> <p>This province has more than 134,000 hectares of things; of which, 80% of the area with 105,000 ha, mostly planted with grain, 20% of the rest are new planting or replanting of new varieties by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development recognized, give good results as PN1 , MH4 / 5, MH5 / 4. However, these varieties are capable of flowering focus greater risk when the weather is unfavorable. <br></p> <p>Besides the technical application model good care, over time, the intensive orchard is not focused on people, or farmers to invest but are limited because this is psychological trees hold soil under natural conditions. With grafted plants only require 45% of the care, Canopy, pruning, pest control, fertilization, weed - Phan Van Don, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Binh Phuoc said. <br></p> <p>Indeed today the processing enterprises in the country is still mired in shortages of raw materials for processing and export in the last months. According to Nguyen Duc Thanh, chairman of the Vietnam Cashew Association, the export processing businesses that are struggling to not fall into the raw material for the harvest, while the price of raw material procurement from Africa also increased high, from $ 1,000 / ton earlier this year to $ 1,300 - $ 1,400 / ton at present. Therefore, 50% of small processing factory in Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai (also called the young oven) of all raw materials led to many establishments to close. With this price, the factories and businesses can not import and export balances. In May 8, 2015, 215,000 tons of cashew export of various sizes, earning nearly $ 1.6 billion, up 9% in volume and 23% in value compared with the same period of 2014. <br></p> <p>Before the fact, large parts of which are old need new investment, the experts agreed that want to improve productivity must be of good quality seeds and intensive mode, pruning, Canopy, collage is focused investment. <br></p> <p>According to Nguyen Van Hoa, the investment, breeding it is one of the key stages in order to promote improved productivity that sustainable development in our country. Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development continued to promote the research, breeding in order to facilitate implementation of the conversion program, replanting, grafting and renovation of old orchard. <br></p> <p>Recently, DCP coordinate with Vietnam Cashew Association, the Provincial Agricultural Extension Center building models of replanting, grafting orchard renovation, especially the intensive professional model. Which investments create canopy pruning, fertilizing watering, pest control monitoring. The models that yield increases of 30% - 50% compared to normal, has attracted many farmers involved intensive rehabilitation transplant. <br></p> <p>Simultaneously, the local information dissemination to farmers understand, use and management of the same as recommended. The enhanced management of local breeding establishments, especially the first base line varieties. On this basis, the work of the selection of the initial plants in the region, local varieties that have adapted, shown best in Vietnamese breeding populations are considered. Since then, the local organization and the selection board decided to recognize, communicate farmers manage and exploit the use of grafts from initial plants. At the same time, from the initial plants can multiply the garden started to develop production lines with larger breeds. <br></p> <p>Association chairman Nguyen Duc Thanh Article Vietnam shared economic value of cashew nuts is located in, more and more people, not sour, the higher the price. So when replanting and orchard cultivation, the local guide farmers choose varieties for the withdrawal of 32% instead of the same thing for the low recovery, especially farmers choose varieties Thai Lan, only for the recovery of 28%. <br></p> <p>Le National Revenue, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development stressed that the policy of the Ministry directing rehabilitation, intensive orchard is necessary jobs and is expected to have high efficiency. In just one year of intensive impact, dramatically increasing productivity; which, with the model reaches 5-6 tons / ha. Local garden old thing, just not good to replan, re-cultivation, planting alternative, and noted issues like good management because it determines the quality of the orchard. <br></p> <p>Vietnam Cashew Association expects this year the whole industry will export 320,000 tons of cashew kinds, earning $ 2.5 billion.<br></p><p></p>
