HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam aims to use organic fertiliser for 50 per cent of the total cultivation area nationwide by 2050, and have at least 80 per cent of centrally-run cities and provinces build organic fertiliser-using farming models as part of value chains for major and specialty products. At the same time, the amount of industrial organic fertiliser is expected to account for at least 30 per cent of the total amount of fertiliser used in agricultural production. The amount of organic fertiliser produced on a household scale used in agricultural production is hoped to reach at least 20 million tonnes per year. The agricultural sector also aims to build effective cultivation models using organic fertilisers for nine key groups of crops, namely rice, coffee, rubber, cashew, pepper, tea, fruit trees, vegetables, and cassava. The ministry sees the production and use of organic fertiliser based on utilising agricultural by-products is an inevitable trend of Việt Nam's agricultural sector.
