The Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang set up 20 large-scale rice fields with a total area of 1,600 hectares last year, as part of its effort towards restructuring agricultural production towards sustainability, and increasing quality and added value. According to the provincial Agriculture Extention Centre's development programmes, all rice paddies harvested on large-scale fields are purchased by companies that supplying farmers with seeds, fertiliser and other input materials. In addition to promoting linkages in the sale of the output, facilitating cooperatives and enterprises in choosing qualified varieties, and committing to follow the required technical processes, the model contributes to improving product quality and food hygiene. The centre will maintain the area under the programmes and align with enterprises, cooperatives and rice traders to secure outlet for farmers in the 2021-2022 winter-spring crop.
