In April 2023, during a working visit to Luc Ngan district, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan expressed surprise with the creative ways of farmers and cooperatives here in combining organic and ecological agricultural production associated with tourism development.

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan and Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Le Anh Duong visit a lychee orchard meeting export standards in Giap Son commune, Luc Ngan district.

At the working session with local leaders, many times the minister mentioned "bringing the market to the garden" or " lychees in the home garden" when there are many tours bringing visitors to fruit tree areas... This is considered one of the directions creating more values for agricultural products.

The livestock sector has also seen strong changes, with an increase in large-scale production and concentrated animal husbandry methods to gradually replace the small-scale methods. Modern farms applying circular production processes have been formed, not only improving product quality, limiting environmental pollution, but also helping to reduce costs and increase values for breeders.

Typically, the pig farm of Hung An Co., Ltd. in Yen The district has been equipped with a circular waste treatment system. After treatment, livestock waste is used to water plants and make fertilizer. Gas is used to fuel generators serving daily life and production. Recently, the company planted many flowers and ornamental plants with the hope of becoming a "park in farm" model.

The circular livestock farming model of Hoang Dinh Que's family in Quynh Son commune, Yen Dung district uses gas from livestock waste to fuel a generator. Solid waste is used to raise earthworms, earning the family 2 billion VND (81,600 USD) in profit each year. The application of the circular process alone helps raise income by about 500 million VND (20,400 USD).

According to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, in recent times, more and more large-scale production areas have appeared in the province, promoting collaboration under the value chain and applying advanced production processes such as VietGAP and GlobalGAP, and high technology. Of these, 165 model fields have been built to produce quality rice, safe vegetables, and potatoes.

That is the basis for forming a chain of quality products, helping Bac Giang agriculture develop comprehensively, becoming a bright spot in the overall picture of the country.
