Repeatedly in the past 3 years , both area and production of soybeans ( soybean ) are in decline, while demand for raw materials for food , feed constantly on the rise ...
Specifically , in 2012, an area of only 127,000 hectares of soybeans , down more than 70,000 hectares in 2010, production dropped more than 110,000 tons compared to 298 700 tonnes in 2010 . Meanwhile , demand for feed production , average annual show business ( DN ) VN to spend about $ 2 billion to import wheat , corn , soybeans and soybean meal processing . In 2012 , VN imported 1.29 million tons of raw soybeans , up 26 % compared to 2011 due to strong sales of food and animal feed in the country . This is a long-standing paradox when VN is the agricultural production , soybean crops not too strange to Vietnamese people .
According to official statistics , soybeans were planted in 25 provinces throughout the country , with approximately 65 % in the northern region and 35 % in the southern region . Earlier this year , the Government also approved the master plan for development of agriculture production by 2020 and vision to 2030 . Accordingly , specializing in the planning area of about 100,000 ha of soy farming , utilizing rice land to increase service on 2020 planted area of about 350,000 hectares and production of 700,000 tons, the main production areas are the Red River Delta , central northern mountainous highlands . However, the scale of production so far is relatively small and does not meet the domestic demand . The main reason is the low crop yields , production costs are quite high and still harvest technology obsolete . Scientists in the country and continue to study for the soybean biotechnology and modern higher yields and lower production costs in some areas , but so far there is no business any business application to perform this assay soy beans .
Building the standard model
To address the aforementioned , Vinasoy - Members of Quang Ngai Sugar Joint Stock Company - has officially announced the establishment of centers of research and application of soy Vinasoy first in VN (referred to as VSAC ) with investment objectives intensive research on soy , serving the sustainable business development . The scale of activities planned VSAC deep and wide , from restoring studies , breeding , crop improvement process - mechanization to improve productivity , quality inputs to the research deep nutrition of soybeans and production technology , to processing the nutrient-rich products serving consumers .
The advent VSAC modeled marked international strategic step of Vinasoy , confirmed the position and responsibility of leading enterprises in the field of soybeans . During the launching ceremony established , VSAC also officially signed Memorandum strategic partnership with two American partners . Through this collaboration , VSAC will develop the application of molecular genetics technology to implement hybrid varieties are not genetically modified soybeans with high yield , good quality , meet the multiple needs soy product diversification and mechanization conditions .
Share on established VSAC reason , Ngo Van Tu , CEO Vinasoy , said : " Over the years , Vinasoy always preferred to use the materials in water by soybean nutritional quality , taste delicious and ensure product freshness . With the advent of VSAC , in time to come , Vinasoy will focus on creating standard model soybean in this region , to improve both the productivity and quality of raw materials , production serve well .
