Paradoxically agriculture: Farmers Vietnam going on the streets?
VN reached Indonesia, imported more corn in the world
Mr. Doan Xuan Truc, Deputy Permanent Chairman cum General Secretary of Vietnam Livestock exchange with Vietnamese land around story Vietnam spent billions of dollars to import corn annually and can become the country imports corn the world's largest.

No advantage as every import

According to the MARD, in the first 10 months of 2015, corn imports reached 5.72 million tonnes Vietnam, the import value was USD 1.26 billion, up nearly 56% in volume and nearly 33% in value over the same period last year. With imports, Vietnam is expected to surpass Indonesia as the country to import more corn in the world.

Not surprised by this information, Mr. Doan Xuan Truc said that this is both a paradox but also justice. The paradoxical, Vietnam is the largest exporter of agricultural products, but the annual world has spent millions of dollars to import corn. But starting from the natural conditions of Vietnam, Mr. Truc specified, Vietnam has long focused on rice, of course, that's the right direction to strengthen food security, but to export ... now arise some problems.

That is: by Vietnam rice export low cost source of foreign exchange earning not much, the incomes of the farmers is not high, even suggested that Vietnam's rice export price to go even lower prices that Vietnam consumers buy. If you try to run a policy to strengthen rice exporter, Vietnam artless become cheap rice production worldwide. By focusing on rice should land other crops including corn, soybean Vietnam very little.

Consuming countries grow rice, maize was less water demand. But today's corn acreage is small, Vietnam corn yield is not high, so when domestic corn prices even higher price of imported maize.

"Now Vietnam plant restructuring nor a moment, a moment that was. It requires both land reclamation process, change habits propagation, preservation and consumption ...", General Secretary Vietnam signed Livestock Association stressed.

According to Mr. Doan Xuan Truc, to solve this problem, to accelerate domestic corn production by expanding the area, using new high-yielding varieties, accompanied by technology.

"Already MARD for use transgenic corn, which is reasonable and should expand by genetically modified corn with high yield, disease resistance good, helping prices down, does not affect human health people. The world uses more genetically modified corn, just as America also mostly transgenic corn used as animal feed and re-export them chickens, pigs worldwide. Much more Vietnam imported maize how control are all derived, how can you make that is not genetically modified corn?

Vietnam expanded livestock, domestic corn production increases should slow demand for many. Enter one or more of it also can be a relatively good quality and cheap. What Vietnam has the advantage of the maximum exploitation, and something no advantage should be imported from countries with more advantages. That is the law, "Mr. Truc specified.

"Must reorganization multifaceted production, including production of raw materials for animal husbandry," says Truc proposal. "As soon as the grass Vietnam has to import to serve cows, while grass very easily. Now some places in the South has been producing grass for export. This was found Vietnam could develop that negligent devaluation season.

I want to say that to change attitudes and build strategies to develop plant and animal Vietnam has advantages and market, not only around each grain of rice to last forever peasant poverty. In countries where laws protect domestic manufacturers are very strict, when farmers markets are volatile Vietnam offset losses but did not do so. Therefore, whether it's to convert difficult process, may face many problems like on local talk but do not manage in Vietnam land fragmentation, fragmentation ... ".

FDI benefits single dual benefits

Talk about raising the paradox of Vietnam, Doan Xuan Truc also indicated that, separately from the animal feed market in Vietnam, FDI enterprises occupy 60%, while manufacturing enterprises in animal feed Inland though many but small capacity.

"FDI in Vietnam is the multinational corporation specializing in the manufacture of animal feed should be experienced, have the market. On the other hand, because in countries without resources, they have to import raw materials.
