Tasks and solutions to increase the production
To strive to achieve that goals, Soc Trang province offers a number of specific key tasks and solutions. Among them is, regarding planning work, the aim is to accelerate the review of agricultural planning in Soc Trang province for the period of 2021-2030 with a vision to 2045; the project on agricultural and rural development; the structure of aquatic breeds; the investment in upgrading infrastructure for irrigation, transportation, and electricity in concentrated production areas.
Also, the province must to accelerate the implementation of programs and projects to develop brackish water shrimp farming in Soc Trang province in the 2021-2025 period and related tasks to ensure the effective implementation of the dual goals of economic development and disease prevention.
Other task is the reorganization of production. The intention is to concentrate small farming households together into cooperatives/cooperative groups in the direction of concentration and cooperating into large raw material production areas associated with enterprises providing input materials associated with the consumption market along the value chain.
“In particular, special attention is paid to the coordination of parties (the state, producers, enterprises, associations), continuing to promote the role of cooperatives/cooperative groups in reorganizing production.“
Continuing towards safe and responsible production according to VietGAP, GlobalGAP, ASC standards, etc. to improve product quality and meet the increasing requirements of the consumer market.
With regard to propaganda and transfer of science and technology, the intention is to constantly innovating in terms of form, content and methods of cooperation in science and technology transfer, application of information technology, social networks, websites, emails, newspapers, etc. for information to be transmitted and received feedback from people in the most timely and effective manner.
As well, to promote the replication of effective farming models; continue to support the development of models of raising new breeds with economic value; applying high-tech farming; diversifying farming, associated with ecological environment protection, climate change adaptation and cost reduction and production.
“All that to enhance value and develop sustainably. Also, applying digital technology in management, setting up management software.“
Inspection and inspection: strengthening this area in order to promptly prevent and strictly handle violations of the law on production and trading of goods that do not meet quality standards. Among other things, closely coordinating with relevant departments and branches in environmental control of shrimp farming areas, especially discharge and sludge pumping discharged to the outside environment.
Finally, the corresponding tasks for environmental monitoring and warning for epidemics. The goal is to continue to carry out monitoring and warning; implementing active and passive monitoring programs for diseases on shrimp seed, in farming areas and watershed channels, promptly notifying shrimp farming cooperatives and cooperatives so that farmers can proactively prevent diseases.
