  1. Collaboration for Agriculture and Rural Development (CARD) Program APPLYING GAP IN PRODUCTION AND MARKETING OF SOME SAFE AND HIGH QUALITY VEGETABLES IN NGHE AN AND NORTHERN CENTRAL VIETNAM Project title: Reducing pesticide residues, improving yield, quality and marketing of vegetable crops in Northern Central Vietnam through improved varieties, GAP principles and farmer focused training Project code: CARD 021/06VIE Pham Hung Cuong1, Pham Van Chuong1, Gordon Rogers2 et al. Authors: Project implementing organizations: 1 Agricultural Science Institute for Northern Central Vietnam 2 Applied Horticultural Research Pty. Ltd. (AHR), Australia residues test of the 40 vegetables samples in 1. Introduction Nghe An showed that up to 14 tested samples The total area in Vietnam used for vegetable have pesticide residues in exceeding limit production is currently 643,970 ha (Statistical (accounting for 35%) with active ingredients Head Department, 2006) and is a 5% increase are mainly Permethrin and Fipronil (PPD Nghe over the area of land used for vegetable An. 2007). Despite the considerable amount of production in 2001. Of this total vegetable pesticide has been used for plant protection, production area, only 22,000 ha or 5% are significant proportions of crop yields are lost grown using safe vegetable production by pests and diseases e.g. 25% of leafy practices. Vegetable growing in Vietnam is an vegetables, 23% of cucurbits and 32% of important source of income for the country and brassicas (Anh, Ali et al. 2004). One factor accounts for 9% of the total cropping income which further complicates the pesticide residue including rice. The major vegetables produced issue, is that constant high humidity (>75%) in in Vietnam are KangKong, brassica’s many growing areas encourages foliage (cabbage, pak choi & kohlrabi) and various diseases and fungicide spraying to control cucurbits including melons and cucumbers these diseases (Anh, Ali et al. 2004). The (Anh, Ali et al. 2004). According to the widespread use of broad-spectrum insecticides Statistical Bureau of Nghe An, vegetable also kills beneficial predatory insects and this growing areas of the province is 24,374 ha in further encourages the use of pesticides to 2008 which increased 31.4% compared with control insects which were previously 2005, however, safe vegetable growing area is controlled by the beneficial, the phenomenon only 8.6%.

Through the sponsorship of the CARD program and survey in the wholesale markets, vegetables Ministry of Agriculture and Rural are mainly handled in cane baskets and not Development, Agricultural Science Institute of cartons or any form of purpose built container Northern Central Vietnam has conducted designed to support the weight of stacked research applying good agricultural practices produce. There is little use of well-established to produce cabbage and watermelon in Nghe post harvest technologies such as forced-air An and North Central. The main objective of cooling, refrigerated transport, and cool rooms this study is to apply good agricultural on farms or at market facilities. There is little practices to reduce pesticide residues; to help attempt to control ethylene emissions around farmers access new markets to sell safe and harvested products, which are well known to high quality vegetables; and to increase reduce the quality and storage life of fruits and farmers income through the production of vegetables.

  5. Pham Hung Cuong, Pham Van Chuong & Gordon Rogers supermarkets, farmers' groups have discussed 3.1.2 Research on farming techniques and divided into small groups to carry out Trials on planting time, density and nutrition production with four seasons, farmers have been set up in experiment field of developed a planting schedule with Metro ASINCV using plants from the second seeding Cash and Carry and agreed to plant 4 times of Green Helmet. The result has shown mid from September to the ending December of the November yearly is optimum planting time year. The Green Helmet variety was selected with highest yield. But in order to spread for production because it has good disease harvest time to meet market demand cabbage resistance meets Metro’s specifications and has can be grown from 30 October to 20 December a good appearance. Cabbage heads being in Nghe An. Cabbage nutrition and planting delivered to Metro via the platform in Hanoi, density trials have also been conducted at and then to all other stores in Vietnam. The ASINCV and the results show that the best plants and harvested heads were in excellent planting in the Central coastal region, beds condition as the farmers were using Integrated should be 1.2 m wide, on 2 rows per bed Pest Management (IPM) for pest and disease (50cm apart) and 40 cm between seedlings control. produced the highest yield of 1.2 kg cabbage heads. Optimum fertilizer rate was 150kg The watermelon production pilots were N+100kg P2O5+50kg K2O ha-1. IPM resulted in conducted similar to cabbage in Dien Phong, adequate control of insects. For watermelon Quynh Luong Nghe An, and Thach Mon, Ha materials are CN46 and CS202 varieties and Tinh. The project team helps farmers in agronomic experiments had been conducted negotiating with supermarket before sowing the same technical package as cabbage. Trials season to achieve an output of about 100 tons on planting time, density and nutrition have of watermelons. The timetable of sowing date been set up in experiment field of ASINCV. and frequent quantity based on supermarket The result showed that fertilizer NPK13:13:13 consumption. According to the schedule are 7- such as Binh Dien fertilizer was recommended 10 tons per week within 10 - 12 weeks starting using; density is 0.4mx2.5m is optimum in late May. Two watermelon varieties are because of high yield and good income for CN46 and CS202 are being produced under grower.

Cabbage varieties experiments were conducted as a demonstration at the local farmers. This is to be evaluated and concluded by farmers themselves. The workshop on integrated pest management and post-harvest techniques have been held. Farmers applied IPM, principles of good agricultural practice with cabbage, watermelon and the result is plant growth in favorable condition. Farmers also have notebook to keep Fig 7. Sticker for watermelon produced in records of planting, care, harvesting and project commune and marketed at Metro selling their products. This is the first step for developing a quality assurance system on the field. Farmer representatives have also visited Metro’s Hanoi operations to better understand how the cabbage and watermelon needs to be prepared for market. The farmer group and Metro buyer negotiated a supply contract, according to Metro specifications. The team also developed and agreed planting schedule. The marketing strategy developed for the cabbages involved the promotion in the Metro Hình 8.
