Mekong farmers make organic switch to improve business
More and more farmers and entrepreneurs in the Mekong Delta are realising that new organic farming models help increase their income.
Since the 2017–18 winter-spring crop, the My Dong Agricultural Coop No2 (in Dong Thap province’s Thap Muoi district) has been collaborating with Rynan Smart Fertilisers in Tra Vinh city to introduce the smart rice cultivation model on 7.6ha of land.
Farmers use smart fertilisers just once (for the crop), together with other harmless biological products. Rynan also used water level measuring equipment (using solar energy) to help farmers monitor the water level required for the rice plants at each stage of growth.
