Bringing seeds and fertilizers to people
In the first days of the new crop, all over the corn fields in Ham Thanh commune, Lam Dong province, people are busy weeding, fertilizing, and preparing to sow seeds.
Taking advantage of a break, Mr. Nguyen Van Vuong excitedly shared: "My family has 1 hectare of corn, and every year the Mountain Service Center gives me seeds and fertilizer in advance. This year I received 15 kg of seeds and 12 bags of fertilizer. When it comes to harvest, the products are guaranteed, so I am very assured, just hoping for a favorable season so I can earn more money."
In the mountainous commune of Song Luy, things were equally busy. Many households were plowing and weeding, waiting for the first rain of the season. Because they depend entirely on “heavenly water”, people can only grow one crop of corn each year.

Mr. Mang Ni, a resident of Song Luy, said that thanks to the program of supporting advance payment of materials, his family was able to maintain 2 hectares of corn.
“The government advances seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides and also guarantees the products. After deducting expenses, I earn nearly 30 million VND in profit each year. From having to worry about high-interest loans, people now feel secure in their production, and life is less difficult,” Mr. Ni said happily.
Recalling previous years, Mr. Huynh Thanh Dai (Ham Thanh commune) said: "When there was no policy for advance payment, for each crop, people had to borrow money to buy seeds and fertilizers. The interest rate was high, and in a bad year, they were left with nothing, and debt piled on debt. Since the Provincial Mountain Service Center (formerly Binh Thuan ) implemented advance payment of materials and purchased agricultural products at high prices, everyone was excited."
Mr. Dai added: “In my opinion, this is a very good and practical policy. With advance payment of seeds and fertilizers, people are confident in production, their family economy gradually improves, and their lives improve significantly.”
Contribute to sustainable poverty reduction
According to the Mountain Service Center, over the years, the unit has provided advanced support for many essential supplies such as rice seeds, corn seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, plowing money, and even rice for eating during production.
For hybrid corn, the support level is calculated based on the actual area, up to 2 hectares per household/crop. For each hectare of corn, farmers are given an advance of 15 kg of seeds, 550 kg of fertilizer and 4 kg (or 4 liters) of pesticides. The price of materials is always public at stores, agents and the Commune People's Committee so that people can clearly understand.

In addition to pre-paying seeds and fertilizers, farmers are confident in production. |
From 2022 to 2024, the whole province has supported more than 3,200 households, with a total budget of up to 43.89 billion VND.
Not only providing advance payment and purchasing agricultural products, the Center also coordinates with companies to organize many technical training courses, instructing people to convert crops and livestock suitable to each locality, and apply scientific and technical advances to increase productivity.
Thanks to timely support policies, people's awareness has been raised, people trust the policies of the Party and the State, avoiding the situation of borrowing at high interest rates and being forced to pay high prices by traders. From there, they proactively develop production, confidently eliminating poverty sustainably.
