Ba Ria-Vung Tau (VNA) – The mechanisation of agriculture is currently popular among farmers in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau as this trend hascontributed to reducing farming costs and increasing their income.

During the 2020-2021 Winter-Spring crop, the Farmers'Association of Long Dien district cooperated with the Ho Chi Minh City-based Snewrice Joint Stock Company in using drones to spray plant protection chemicals on morethan 30 hectares of rice in An Nhut commune. This has helped increase labourproductivity by 15-30 times, shorten spraying time, and reduce 30 percent of used pesticide amount compared to normal spraying.

According to Huynh Trung Thanh, Director of the An Nhut Agriculture- Service Cooperative in Long Dien district, spraying with drones not onlysaves water and pesticides, but also helps reduce rice yield loss from 150-200kg per hectare compared with that of normal spraying.

In addition, members of the cooperative are also promotingmechanisation in other farming tasks. To date, they have mechanised the entire process of soilpreparations and harvesting with different types of machines.
