    (NDO) According to the “Voice of Vietnam” report, Gia Lai Province has a relatively large area of ​​pepper planting at 17,000 hectares, which once reached 18,000 hectares
    .
    Farmers in Gia Lai province are busy harvesting pepper these days
    .
    Local pepper is grown in a sustainable way, with stable development and at the same time ensuring the profits of pepper farmers
    .
     
    Nguyen Thi Li Thu, a resident of Dadewa District, Gia Lai Province, has planted 5.
    5 hectares of pepper and is now in the harvesting season
    .
    Growing organically, the grass in the yard grows naturally, and the soil is fertile, which helps keep the soil moist, she said
    .
    The use of chemical fertilizers is limited as much as possible, and fertilization is mainly with coffee husks and beans; chemicals are also replaced by biological products
    .
    The cultivation process must be recorded in a planting diary every day
    .
    Acquiring companies will randomly order in the park at any time
    .
     
      If the test sample meets the requirements, the company will buy it at a price 30% higher than the market
    .
    Nguyen Thi Li Tuo said that this season, the output of pepper planting was 3.
    5 tons per hectare, which was lower than the previous season, but the price per ton was 110 million VND and the profit was higher than the previous season
    .
    She said: “I chose the direction of organic farming to overcome the difficulties of climate and disease
    .
    Luckily, a business contacted me to buy organic peppers and export to Europe
    .
    It’s good for me, good for the company, good for working for me good for the health of people and good for the environment
    .
     
      In Nanyang Township, two years ago, more than 50 pepper growers jointly established a group to grow sustainable and pollution-free pepper
    .
     
      Group leader Wu Wenxian said: "Participating in the group, farmers share production experience and good practices
    .
    Therefore, farmers themselves contact companies that provide technology and organic fertilizers to obtain the lowest prices
    .
    Likewise, the output is also selected by farmers through intermediaries.
    Unnecessary costs are removed
    .
    Since it is organically produced, the product is twice as expensive as other products.

    ” Wu Wenxian said that the transition from traditional methods to high-tech and cleaner production cannot be accomplished overnight, but "take your time
    .
    "
     
      This is a mind-changing revolution, and if successful, farmers will be in a proactive position, relying less on external factors and reducing risks such as price fluctuations and input costs
    .
     
      Talking about the pepper planting model of "Farmer-Farmer Cooperation", Ruan Attack, director of Nanyang Agricultural and Service Cooperative, said that in 2018, the cooperative had a total of 15 members and a pepper planting area of ​​more than 50 hectares
    .
    At the beginning, it was difficult to mobilize residents to join the cooperative, but after a period of activity, the price of pepper sold by the cooperative increased to 1.
    5 to 2 times, and the residents actively joined
    .
    In particular, the cooperative also contacted two businesses in Ho Chi Minh City for all sales
    .
     
      Currently, the cooperative has 80 hectares of pepper planting area, of which more than 40 hectares are grown organically, which meet export standards and are sold to countries with strict quality requirements
    .
     
      Duan Yuyou, deputy director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Gia Lai Province, said that currently, the total area of ​​pepper cultivation in Gia Lai Province is 13,600 hectares
    .
    This year's yield is 3.
    37 tonnes per hectare
    .
    Since 2017, the area under pepper cultivation has been stable and moving towards a sustainable direction
    .
     
      Fortunately, in the past two years, the price of pepper has risen from 75,000 VND to more than 80,000 VND per kilogram, but there is no case of cutting other crops such as pepper
    .
    Duan Yuyou believes that prudent investment in organic pepper planting and conversion of farming methods has helped farmers gain stable income
    .
    "In order to improve efficiency, the former pepper growing areas have been converted to other crops
    .
    The remaining pepper areas are now being steadily developed, production has shifted to a standardized and sustainable direction, and crop pests and diseases have also been reduced
    .
    As a result, productivity and yields are stable," he said
    .
     
      Growing peppers in a sustainable and organic way is never at a loss, the cost and initial conditions can be high, but once successful, the results are great
    .
    In this way, farmers in Gia Lai province will have more harvest crops
