Vietnam Farmers' Union accompanies Tay Ninh in building modern agriculture

Safe vegetable production model in the direction of high technology is being replicated by many farmer members in the province

Dynamic and confident to reach further

In Tay Ninh province, with more than 600,000 hectares of agricultural land from hundreds of thousands of households, farmers are the main force in transforming mindsets from traditional agricultural production to green, smart agriculture.

Mr. Tran Van Duc - farmer of Vinh Chau commune, shared, "In the past, when farming, I only follow the customs, now with the Farmers' Union's training and guidance on organic farming, I have gradually switched to clean production. For each crop, the profit does not increase much but is more stable and sustainable. The important thing is that we understand what we are doing, why we have to do it that way."

Not only changing the mindsets, many farmers have become "innovation nuclei" at the grassroots level. From rice, vegetable, fruit tree production models according to VietGAP standards to raising cows, aquaculture, etc., all have the accompaniment and guidance of the Union.

Farmers participate in surveys and quality assessments of new rice varieties

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, a farmer of Thanh Phuoc commune, said, "The Farmers' Union helped me borrow capital from the Farmers' Support Fund, participate in training on production techniques and connect with businesses that purchase agricultural products. Thanks to that, the cooperative's custard apples have achieved 3-star OCOP products and sold at good prices. We farmers now know how to build brands for our agricultural products."

According to statistics, in the first 9 months of 2025, the whole province had more than 220,000 households registering for the movement of good production and business, of which tens of thousands of households achieved an income of 300 million VND/year or more. The Unions at all levels organized more than 18,000 propaganda and technical training sessions, attracting 480,000 members; coordinated with the Social Policy Bank and Farmers' Support Fund to disburse more than 60 billion VND to 845 households to expand their economic models.

Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and Chairman of the Farmers' Union of Khanh Hung Commune, Le Quoc Bon, said, "Farmers are guided by techniques, supported with agricultural product output, and have access to digital transformation. At the grassroots level, each good production model is a testament to the change in mindset from farming to doing business. That is also a way to promote the role of farmers."

Along with technical support for production, the Farmers' Unions at all levels also promote digital transformation in Union activities and agricultural production. Many digital farmer models have been established, helping members update agricultural product prices, weather, and consumption markets via smartphones. Some branches have also set up Zalo groups and fan pages to exchange experiences and provide guidance on applying QR codes to trace product origins.

At the same time, the farmer movement to participate in collective economic development has been widely and deeply implemented, encouraging members to join cooperatives. Through production-consumption linkages, farmers have gradually changed their thinking, forming a closed value chain, gradually affirming their role as masters in modern agriculture.

In addition, the unions at all levels have also done a good job in social security. Since the beginning of 2025, 45 farmers' shelters have been built for members in difficult circumstances, more than 6,000 gifts have been given on holidays and Tet, and hundreds of rural roads have been newly built by farmers.

In the 95-year tradition, farmers today are more dynamic and confident to reach further. They are not only "people who produce rice and potatoes" but also "people who create value for modern, integrated and sustainable Vietnamese agriculture."

Continuing to affirm the position of the Union in the new period

Farmers boldly change crops, increase the value of agricultural products, meet domestic and foreign market demand

The 95th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Farmers' Union took place in the context of preparing to organize the 1st Provincial Farmers' Union Congress, term 2025-2030—the first congress after the province's merger. This is not only an important political event but also an opportunity for cadres and members of the Farmers' Union to look back on the past and determine steps for the future.

Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and Chairman of the Farmers' Union of Tan Tru Commune, Do Tan Luc, said, "After merging the commune-level administrative units, the Union focused on strengthening the organization and reviewing the branches, especially collective economic models. The goal is to unify activities, promote the strengths of the locality, and work towards the aspiration of building a modern and effective agriculture."

According to the Provincial Farmers' Union, preparations for the Congress are being carried out urgently and systematically. The key contents include summarizing the movement in the 2020-2025 period, evaluating the results of the Union's work, and collecting comments on the draft orientation for the new term.

Chairman of the Provincial Farmers' Union Nguyen Thanh Tung emphasized, "The first Congress will be an important milestone, affirming the unity, solidarity and development aspirations of the farmers' class in the province. The Union has identified the focus of the 2025-2030 term as promoting the role of farmers in developing green agriculture, applying digital technology, participating in environmental protection, and building a new model rural area."

According to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tung, in the coming time, the Provincial Farmers' Union will focus on synchronously implementing key tasks: continuing to consolidate and improve the quality of the organization and activities at the grassroots level; building a team of officials with courage, enthusiasm, responsibility, meeting the requirements of the new period. At the same time, the Union focuses on developing members, especially young farmers, start-up farmers, farmers applying digital technology; promoting the transfer of scientific and technical advances, supporting the construction of effective production models, linkage chains and OCOP products. In addition, the Union will strengthen coordination with enterprises and banks to expand capital sources and consumption markets, helping farmers feel secure in investing in production, while promoting the role of social supervision and criticism, contributing to building a clean and strong Party and government, aiming at the goal of sustainable agricultural and rural development.

Propaganda and ideological orientation work are promoted through social networks and the Union's electronic information page with thousands of news, articles, and videos introducing typical farmers and effective models. Thereby, the image of Tay Ninh farmers is increasingly portrayed with courage, intelligence, solidarity and creativity.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tung affirmed: “The 95th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Farmers' Union is not only an occasion to review traditions but also for each cadre and member to look back, affirm their position and responsibility in the new period. We are determined to build a strong and comprehensive Union, truly a reliable support for farmers and a core force in sustainable agricultural and rural development.”

From the glorious tradition of 95 years, the Farmers' Union continues to be a bridge connecting the Party's will with the people's hearts, arousing the desire for development in each farmer. That is the strength that contributes to bringing Tay Ninh firmly on the journey of building a modern and civilized agriculture./.
