Replicating the technicals of the VnSAT Project

(VAN) Models applying production techniques such as '3 decrease 3 increase', '1 must 5 decrease' implemented by the VnSAT project are replicated by farmers in production.

In the 2016-2021 period, the VnSAT Project has implemented a demonstration model that applies "3 decreases 3 increases" and "1 must 5 decreases" in Dong Thap province's 6 northern districts. Thereby, the model is evaluated as effective and is currently being replicated by farmers.

To implement the VnSAT project, the local agricultural sector has organized 566 training courses with more than 20,000 farmers participating; built 75 farming models of "3 decreases 3 increases" and "1 must 5 decreases" with 140 hectares and 100 farmers participating.

The application area of "3 decreases, 3 increases" and "1 must 5 decreases" for the whole VnSAT project is 24,232 hectares (accounting for nearly 5% of the province's rice cultivation area). The model "Ideal rice production" is piloted by My Dong 2 Cooperative, Thap Muoi district, and Rynan Smart Fertilizers Company on 7.6 hectares.

Accordingly, applying high technology in production helps people reduce the amount of seed. The average yield is 7-8 tonnes of fresh rice per hectare. The production cost is reduced by 45 - 50% compared to the old farming method, ensuring high profits for farmers.
