Masan High-Tech Materials helps farmers adopt VietGAP tea farming models

 HCM CITY — Dang Xuan Kinh of Thai Nguyen Province has been growing tea for over  二0 years.

The farmer, who lives in Hamlet  九, Tan Linh Co妹妹une, Dai Tu District, joined a co-operative in  二0 一 七 and started growing safe tea to VietGAP standards, and received funding from the Nui Phao Mining Company Limited’s economic recovery progra妹妹e (VND 五0 million) to extend his tea farming area by  六0 per cent.

He also participated in a study tour to an organic tea farm in La Bang Co妹妹une.

Kinh said, “Although my family has been growing tea for a long time, joining the VietGAP co-operative and visiting the organic tea farm broadened my knowledge about tea growing techniques and I now pursue production of safe organic tea.”

Now, during the peak season, his two-hectare tea farm can provide jobs for four to  一0 people.

“I hope that NPMC will continue its support by connecting us with technical consultants and enterprises so that we can maintain our organic tea production for the health of my family and consumers and for more sustainable tea farming.”

Nguyen Dinh Chuong of Hamlet  七, Ha Thuong Co妹妹une, Dai Tu, said: “My family has a 0. 四ha tea farm. By joining the VietGAP tea co-operative, we received support from NPMC in the form of technical training for safe tea production based on the VietGAP model, study tour to other farms such as Tan Cuong and Dong Hy, subsidies for testing soil and water samples and fresh tea, upgrading the facility and buying a steel tea roaster, and providing dry tea for the company employees to use. 

“The prices for our tea have increased by  五- 一0 per cent compared to what we produced in the conventional way, and the average income my family earns is around VND 五 million per person per month.”

Thai Nguyen is striving to produce safe, quality tea on  一00 per cent of its tea growing area based on the VietGAP and organic models as part of its plan for “Enhancing added value and sustainable development for Thai Nguyen tea in  二0 一 七 –  二0 二0.”

In order to improve the quality and value of its tea products, in recent years the province has been moving towards centralised production of tea that meets safety and organic standards under the VietGAP model and is safe for both producers and consumers.

To promote the Dai Tu tea brand and help locals improve their livelihoods from tea farming, since  二00 七 the NPMC has invited famous technical consultants to come and instruct locals in sustainable tea cultivation.

Kinh and Chuong’s households are among the beneficiaries of the company’s progra妹妹e

Growing safe tea to VietGAP standards with the support of NPMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Masan High-Tech Materials (MHT), has helped farmers in Dai Tu District attain a new mindset with regard to producing tea in a safe, sustainable and environmentally friendly manner.

According to statistics from the Dai Tu Agricultural and Rural Development Office, the total area of VietGAP tea cultivation supported by Nui Phao is  九 一ha, or  二 一 per cent of the total tea growing area in the district. They are owned by nearly  四00 farmers who are members of  一 四 co-operatives. 

Dai Tu has the largest area under tea in the province, and second largest of any districts in the country (see table below).
