Developing effective economic models, improving agricultural product consumption capacity

One of the highlights of the first 6 months of 2025 is supporting farmers to build economic models in the direction of circularity, organicity, and high technology application. The whole province currently has over 262,000 households registered for the movement of good farmers and businessmen, in which many models of combined cultivation, livestock farming, high-tech aquaculture, and closed-chain production have appeared. The Association has supported the establishment of 44 new economic models, many of which are connected with businesses to ensure sustainable output.

Accompanying members in terms of technology, the Farmers' Association at all levels has organized 42 vocational training courses for nearly 1,500 rural workers, hundreds of training courses on transferring science and technology, and applying digital agricultural software. More than 41,000 members have access to knowledge on clean production, using organic fertilizers, disease prevention and control, and product traceability. This is an important preparation step to help Nghe An farmers gradually catch up with the trend of modern agricultural development.

Regarding market support, the Association at all levels has connected and consumed hundreds of tons of agricultural products inside and outside the province, especially through supermarkets and e-commerce channels. In the first 6 months of the year, 63 agricultural products were supported to build brands and packaging; 21 products met 3-star OCOP standards. Clean agricultural product stores operated or jointly operated by the Association also played an effective role as a consumption bridge, increasing the value of local products.

Another bright spot is that the digital media program continues to be promoted. The Association at all levels has organized over 9,000 propaganda sessions, with over 1 million participants. The content focuses on instructing market access skills and applying social networks to promote products. The image of farmers "knowing how to livestream to sell products" and "knowing how to attach QR codes to agricultural products" has gradually become familiar in many localities.

Along with that, the Association continues to promote direct support programs such as: distributing seeds of plants, livestock, agricultural materials, with a total value of more than 95 billion VND; mobilizing the construction and repair of 87 houses for members in difficulty. Programs in coordination with social insurance, health, justice... also bring about real results, helping members feel secure in production and improve the quality of life.

Strengthening the Association's organization in the context of merger and adaptation to the new government system

In the context that Nghe An is implementing the arrangement and merger of district and commune-level administrative units and entering the stage of completing the 2-level local government system in some localities, the Provincial Farmers' Association identified the last 6 months of 2025 as a key time to consolidate the Association's organization at the grassroots level, ensuring stable and uninterrupted operations after administrative boundaries change.

In that spirit, the Association at all levels will focus on perfecting the organizational structure, arranging the Association's staff to suit the new administrative area; reviewing, consolidating and improving the quality of activities of branches and associations, especially in areas with changes in population and boundaries. Maintaining the role of connecting farmers with the government and the market in the new administrative context will be considered a key political task, helping to stabilize the ideology of members, ensuring the inheritance and development of emulation movements.

At the same time, the Association continues to promote the tasks set out in the year: improving the quality of propaganda, supporting the development of production models associated with digital transformation and green economy; developing effective production and business models for farmers, establishing professional associations and cooperatives suitable to local characteristics after the merger. Vocational training, technical training, agricultural product trade promotion and market connection activities continue to be organized synchronously, aiming to support members to increase income and stabilize their livelihoods.

Comrade Nguyen Quang Tung emphasized: “In the coming time, the Association will proactively coordinate closely with local authorities at two levels in developing action programs suitable for new realities, especially in implementing the national target program on building advanced and exemplary new rural areas in expanded administrative units. Strengthen supervision, social criticism, and protect members' rights in the process of adjusting planning, land, infrastructure, and agricultural production after local mergers.

With a proactive, responsible and flexible spirit in the face of major changes in the grassroots political system, the Farmers' Association of Nghe An province aims to both maintain organizational stability and promote its central role in rural economic development, build a strong Association, and contribute to the successful implementation of agricultural, farmer and rural development goals in the new period.
