In fact the introduction of mechanization in sugarcane SX process is becoming increasingly necessary in the locality, particularly for the tending and harvesting is very hard but not higher labor productivity.

  To reduce the cost SX, solve the shortage of seasonal workers, National Agricultural Extension Center in collaboration with Dong Nai Extension Center deployment model SX sugarcane mechanization in Dinh Quan District, Thong Nhat.

Dong Nai has over 6,000 hectares of sugar cane, concentrated mainly in the districts of Dinh Quan Nhan Trach, Eternal, Unified ... average sugarcane yield of 55-60 tons / ha. However, the economic efficiency of sugar cane is not high due to several factors, primarily high labor costs pushed SX increases. The mechanization of the tending and loading ... helped reduce costs, increase profits for growers.

According to Mr. Phan Huy Thong, Director KNQG center, transfer center model has been applied to the mechanization of sugarcane SX thousands of farmers across the province, including the multi-function machines soil, earth, sugarcane, plant raising cane land with the level of support for the model involved 75% of the money to buy the machine.
In the coming years, the domestic sugar industry will face stiff competition. Therefore, the application of mechanization in SX will contribute to the productivity of sugarcane, sugar ... high.

On the cane fields Ngoc Dinh, Dinh Quan district, hundreds of farmers witnessed the introduction of machinery into the fields. Power machines replace tape runner on the field hoeing soil hash.

Check to differences Farmers Dog, Ngoc Dinh excited said: "My family planted 20 hectares of sugar cane, the extension supports multifunction machine tillage weeding fertilizing, has supported the workers, to support the spraying, fertilizing also quite effective. Since this machine has helped my family made ​​cane pole less than before ".

To help households participating models know how to use and promote efficiency machine before taking delivery, KNQG Center in coordination with the provincial agricultural extension system of technical training operation, use and maintenance maintenance and storage of each type of machinery and equipment.

Specific tillage machines versatile compact design, less fuel consumption, soil function and care for many crops. As for sugar cane, apply a machine with 6 functions: Bankruptcy root, dig rows, hoeing grass, ground equipment, fertilizer and earth, ...

In fact the introduction of mechanization in sugarcane SX process is becoming increasingly necessary in the locality, particularly for the tending and harvesting is very hard but not higher labor productivity.

Farmer Tran Thanh Hung said: "Machine tillage, weeding by extension support to farmers we are very easy to use, save fuel, very convenient, to help farmers reduce the cost of 5-7 million VND / ha. Currently there are many local cane growers are demanding support buy ".

Do Hong Quan, Deputy technique transfer, KNQG Centre said: "In recent years we support SX model mechanization of sugarcane in Dinh Quan and Reunification has brought very practical effectiveness. Time will continue to support the SX model mechanized corn, sugarcane, wheat and some fruit trees in Dong Nai.

Until now, farmers in 12 provinces have been supported land multifunction machines, 6 lifts soil sugarcane, corn harvesters 2 with a total value of 850 million. In particular, KNQG Center funding supports 75%, the remaining capital contribution by the farmers themselves. "

According to Tran Nam Bien, Vice Chairman Dinh Quan said: "The introduction of mechanized sugarcane SX has reduced a lot of labor, lower production costs and increase profits for farmers. Therefore, local recommendations Center KNQG transfer more sugarcane model, introduced for local farmers to access ".
