Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Hong Linh emphasized that the agricultural industry is raising over 40% of Dong Nai's population, well-developed agriculture, nearly half of Dong Nai's population will have a prosperous life. Dong Nai is an industrial province, so it is necessary to assess how the province's industry has supported agriculture. Must order to support industry for agriculture development.
Agricultural supporting industry
As a province with strong industrial development with many industrial parks and industrial clusters formed very early, attracting investment from corporations and businesses from many countries around the world. In particular, Dong Nai is the destination of many investors in the field of production and trading of agricultural materials to processing agricultural products...
It can be said that Dong Nai is the animal feed production capital of the country with dozens of feed mills with a total designed capacity of over 3 million tons of products per year. In which, many large foreign corporations have invested in this field such as: CP Group (Thailand), Cargill (USA), CJ (Korea), De Heus (Netherlands), Haid (Singapore), Emivest (Malaysia)… Animal feed processing factories in the province operate stably, not only meeting the demand for animal feed in the province but also supplying many provinces and cities across the country.
Mr. Nguyen Kim Doan, Vice Chairman of Dong Nai Livestock Association, commented that the province has attracted many large domestic and foreign corporations and enterprises to invest in animal feed production. Competitive pressure is increasing, so even small and medium-sized processing enterprises are interested in building a closed production chain, investing in technology and machinery, and operating more and more professionally to gain a foothold in the market. The race between large corporations to invest in the animal feed industry also helps farmers have more options with more competitive prices.
Dong Nai has strengths in livestock, so it also attracts many corporations and businesses to invest in preliminary processing and food processing such as: CP Vietnam Livestock Joint Stock Company (Bien Hoa City); Koyu & Unitex Co., Ltd. (Bien Hoa City) is a pioneer in the whole country in exporting chicken and chicken products to the fastidious market of Japan… In addition, the main products of the company. Provinces such as rubber, coffee, cashew, pepper, fresh fruit... have also attracted many large corporations to invest in deep processing such as Vinacafé Bien Hoa, Nestlé Vietnam, Tin Nghia Instant Coffee Production Factory...
In the province, there are also many corporations and enterprises investing in the field of agricultural materials production such as: UPL Vietnam Co., Ltd., Syngenta Vietnam Co., Ltd. Bayer Chemical and Pharmaceutical Group (Bien Hoa city); Super PP Long Thanh Factory (Long Thanh)… Ms. Nguyen Kim Thoa, general director of Golden Stork Company Limited (Go Dau Industrial Park), assessed that Dong Nai has many advantages to attract investors such as: has a very favorable geographical position, especially with a large seaport for transporting and exporting products. Industrial park infrastructure is well invested. In particular, the agencies, departments and branches of the province are very interested in supporting, guiding and creating favorable conditions for enterprises in terms of documents and procedures in investment and operation.

Attract farmers, businesses to participate
Agricultural production still faces many difficulties such as: high input costs due to dependence on imported raw materials, inefficient manual labor, etc., so the production cost of many agricultural products is often higher than that of agricultural products. with countries around the world. Here is the story of a long-term agricultural development strategy with many solutions and synchronous mechanisms.
In the current period of deep integration, to increase the competitiveness of agricultural products and agricultural products within the integration, agricultural production must aim to increase the localization rate of technology and machinery for production; increasing the rate of input materials for the production of agricultural materials, seeds, etc. Agricultural supporting industry is not only the story of corporations and enterprises investing in the agricultural sector. It is also a matter of what farmers benefit from, most specifically the application of mechanization with high technology and modern machinery in farmers' production.
Over the past time, many businesses and farmers in Dong Nai have boldly invested large capital, modern machinery and technology in production to achieve high efficiency. However, in fact, Vietnam is heavily dependent on imports from input materials to technology and machinery in agricultural production to preliminary processing and manufacturing, etc., which is a barrier when businesses and farmers want to access high technology into production, preliminary processing and manufacturing.
Mr. Nguyen The Bao, Director of Suoi Lon Mango Cooperative (Xuan Hung Commune, Xuan Loc District) said that the current big difficulty in exporting mangoes is that the preservation is still backward. Because fresh mangoes sold domestically only need to be preserved for about 1 week, but for export mangoes, they must be preserved for at least 30 days, requiring investment in a system of modern and high-tech machinery. These technologies and machines are currently imported with many problems such as: whether imported technology and machinery are completely compatible with the reality of domestic production; large investments…
Sharing the same view, Mr. Tran Quang Tinh, Director of Viet Farm Trading Co., Ltd. with a closed investment chain from production and supply of pig and chicken cages to an organic fertilizer factory, a farm to grow clean vegetables and fruits in a greenhouse. The technologies, machinery and equipment that these enterprises are using now have a localization rate of almost 100%. Mr. Tran Quang Tinh pointed out that the greenhouse technology in Europe is used for cold countries, there are many factors that are not suitable for tropical countries, so Vietnam should not "bring" the same in terms of application. Therefore, instead of importing technology from abroad to use, enterprises self-improve and manufacture machinery and equipment for application in livestock farms to fertilizer production lines, greenhouse systems, etc. It has helped businesses save huge investment costs and is suitable for actual production.
According to Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Hong Linh, in the next 5 years, we must set goals that industry will support for agriculture such as: mechanization, processing and preservation of agricultural products; input products for agriculture… link between industry and agriculture more effectively to help agriculture develop sustainably. In particular, investment in the seed stage plays a particularly important role in the development of agricultural production because it determines the productivity and quality, thereby creating high added value and generating high income for farmers, creating prosperous development for agriculture.
