Implement 300 projects of applying science and technology

In the Program, coordinating activities between the Farmers' Association and the Ministry of Science and Technology in the 2005-2010 period, there were nearly 300 projects in 60 provinces and cities implemented with a total budget of nearly VND 750 billion.

Of the above amount, funding from the central budget for science and technology is approximately VND 300 billion and mobilized from local people, businesses and the local budget of nearly VND 400 billion.

According to the report at the Conference on implementation results, the Program coordinated activities in the period of 2005-2010 and work orientation to 2015, held on December 4, in Hanoi, the Program mobilized over 1,250 turns of scientific cadres from nearly 70 science and technology organizations to serve in rural and mountainous areas, islands, deep-lying, remote areas and ethnic minority areas; training nearly 16,000 grassroots technicians, improving management capacity and implementing projects for 800 officers who are directly involved in technology transfer and reception.

Nearly 860 technologies and technical advances have been transferred to rural, mountainous, island areas, areas with slow development and ethnic minority areas. Projects under the Program have really created a bright spot on the application of scientific and technological advances to production, promoting socio-economic development in rural and mountainous areas.

On average, each year, the cities and provinces receive 60-70 million dongs from the local scientific career budget to directly implement scientific research projects, surveys, surveys, training and associations. drafting, building models and projects.

According to statistics, about 50% of annual scientific and technological funding is invested in science and technology tasks in the field of agriculture and rural areas. All levels of Farmer's Unions cooperated with branches to open nearly 300,000 training courses on agricultural, industrial, forestry, fishery and informatics promotion for more than 12.6 million farmers; Over 12,000 technical demonstration sites have been built and over 54,000 top-level seminars have been organized for more than 3.8 million people.

All levels of associations, members and farmers increasingly apply scientific and technical advances and advanced technologies to production, improve productivity, quality and value of agricultural products. Many farmers have explored technical innovations, invent many types of machines and tools such as water pumps, transplanters, harvesters, grain detectors, corn flossers, peanuts, peanuts, onions, miners. duckweed…; including inventions that received high awards in VIFOTEC competitions, ' Creative farmers '.

In the framework of the Conference, the Program Coordination Ceremony took place in the 2011-2015 period. According to the Program, continue to widely propagate to the majority of farmers' members about the role of science and technology in socio-economic development, propaganda of advanced models and typical examples of farmers in activities. creative activities as well as application of scientific and technological advances to production practices.

At the same time, the program will focus on propaganda activities on the social benefits of the production and use of high quality and safe agricultural and forestry products and products for public health; promote the movement of promoting technical innovations in the field of agriculture and rural areas; effective organization across the country 'Farming Innovation Competition' levels; well implement the contents under the " Program to support the application and transfer of scientific and technological advances in service of rural and mountainous socio-economic development in the 2011-2015 period ."

The program also continues to build grassroots agricultural science and technology clubs, towards each club as a scientific and technical access point on the Internet .
