Agriculture, farmers, and rural areas have a very important strategic position
On the morning of October 14, the Vietnam Farmers' Union held a ceremony to celebrate its 95th anniversary, the 6th Patriotic Emulation Congress of the Vietnam Farmers' Union.
Speaking at the ceremony, Comrade Do Van Chien, Politburo member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Fatherland Front, Central organizations, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front affirmed that agriculture, farmers and rural areas have a very important strategic position in the Party's revolutionary cause.
The history of the Vietnam Farmers' Union originates from the first Conference of the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party in October 1930 when it decided to establish the Indochina Agricultural Corporation, the first name of the Vietnam Farmers' Union today. Under the wise leadership of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnam Farmers' Union has become the political core of the farming class, united and gathered a large number of farmers, creating a strong force.
After 95 years of establishment and growth, the Vietnam Farmers Union has always been a large political force, loyal to the Party, attached to the people, a solid support for the peasantry and the great national unity bloc. The Vietnam Farmers' Association has proactively advised and proposed to the Party and State many important policies, guidelines and guidelines to develop agriculture, build a farming class and build new rural areas. Farmers' patriotic emulation movements have created a strong influence, especially the movement "good solidarity helps each other get rich and reduce poverty sustainably".
More than 6.5 million farming households nationwide have played a leading role, bringing Vietnam's agriculture to gradually develop towards ecology, circular development, and the application of high technology. Agriculture continues to promote its supporting role in the economy and national food security. The efforts of farmers and the Vietnam Farmers' Association have contributed to the current foundation, potential, position and international prestige, emphasized comrade Do Van Chien.
In the context of the country entering a new era, building a prosperous, civilized and happy country, comrade Do Van Chien suggested that all levels of the Vietnam Farmers' Association and farmers' classes across the country unite to compete, effectively implementing 5 strategic contents:
First, building a strong and comprehensive association and focusing on the grassroots. It is necessary to continue to strongly innovate the content and methods of operation, taking the grassroots and residential areas as the center for gathering, solidarity, and supporting farmers. The Association needs to implement the motto: "Where farmers are in difficulty, where farmers need it, there is a Farmers' Association".
Second, innovate patriotic emulation movements. Movements need to be effective and linked to political tasks. Farmers are encouraged to contribute more efforts to the cause of building and defending the Fatherland in the new era. The Association needs to improve the effectiveness of the emulation movement for good production and business, replicate the farmer shelter model and activities to honor outstanding Vietnamese farmers. The goal is to make the emulation movement truly a great driving force with strong influence in the construction of modern countryside, ecological agriculture, and civilized farmers.
Third, promote propaganda, raise awareness and qualifications of farmer association members. Focus on fostering knowledge of the collective economy, safe agricultural and food trade, digital transformation, international integration and market connection. In particular, the Association must continue to focus on effectively implementing Resolution No. 46 of the Politburo on innovation and improving the quality of activities of the Vietnam Farmers' Association, along with Decision No. 182 dated February 20, 2024 of the Prime Minister on the Vietnam Farmers' Association participating in collective economic development in agriculture until 2030.
Fourth, strengthen the role of social supervision and criticism. The Association needs to expand democracy, pay attention to listening to farmers' aspirations, promptly reflect and propose to the Party and the State. The Association plays a significant role as a bridge to implement foreign affairs between farmers and leaders of the Government, ministries and local governments.
Fifth, grasp the situation and improve the quality of Association staff. The Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Union must grasp the results of the arrangement and streamlining of the apparatus and activities of people at all levels, especially at the commune level. Association officials need to be trained in expertise, professionalism, and skills to adapt to the public administration model and serve the people. deeply grasp the guiding ideology of General Secretary To Lam: "The new organizational model must have new thinking, new ways of doing things, new efficiency" and the results of the Association must be quantized, measured, and measured.
