On August 31, 2012, PVFCCo organized a ceremony summarizing the large sample field model using Phu My Urea at Tay Hoa District, Phu Yen Province.
According to the harvest results as well as on-site direct assessment of professional experts, local farmers agreed that the rice yields from sample field were 5-10% higher than that of traditional mass-production model. Mentioning in the ceremony, leaders of Phu Yen’s Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) highly evaluated the supports and close coordination with PVFCCo and PVFCCo Central in implementing the model as well as supplying materials – Phu My Urea for local farmers to deploy the sample model.
During the ceremony, there had been lots of comments and lively discussion from local cooperatives and farmers on effective use of fertilizers and how to apply synchronized cultivation process on farming fields.
It is known that implementing the “Large sample field” model is major policy of the Government in developing agriculture and rural areas. In 2012, under the direction of Cultivation Department – Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, many local DARD in different provinces over the country have simultaneously started implementing the large sample fields for farmers to join in the close production process under the supervision of experts.
This is one of the program directed and closely collaborated with DARD, Agricultural Promotion Station, Research units of many provinces and farmers to transfer technical advances into rice cultivation technique to improve economic efficiency.
In order to keep promoting the images of PVFCCo, to enhance brand reputation of Phu My Urea among farmers as well as consolidate the relationship with the State management authorities, professional units and agencies in distribution areas, PVFCCo coordinated with DARD to transfer the farming techniques of Phu My Urea on chain of large sample fields.
