The final selection council met and selected 96 outstanding Vietnamese farmers in 40 years of Doi Moi - 2026.

Speaking at the program, Mr. Luong Quoc Doan said that to celebrate the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Farmers' Union (October 14, 1930 - October 14, 2026), looking back at the 40-year renovation journey, our country has risen from a food-deficient country to one of the world's largest agricultural exporters with a turnover of over 70 billion USD per year.

The Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Union affirmed that the great contribution to that achievement belongs to tens of millions of members and farmers - pioneering nuclei through nearly 40 years of implementing the emulation movement for good production and business.

Entering a new phase, the Resolution of the IX Congress of the Vietnam Farmers' Union (term 2026 - 2031) sets the goal of strong innovation in the direction of "reducing formalism - increasing substance". The focus is on promoting the movement of good production and business associated with digital transformation, "green - clean - traceable" food safety standards, building agricultural product brands, thereby promoting the role of farmers as the subjects "on the agricultural front" to legitimately get rich and build civilized new rural areas.

At the program, farmer Luu Thi Hoa, of the Co Lao ethnic group, an outstanding Vietnamese farmer of Tuyen Quang province, expressed her honor and pride in representing the young generation of farmers to receive the title of outstanding Vietnamese farmer for 40 years of the renovation period.

Establishing Po My Cooperative in 2017 with the desire to bring precious products of her homeland to reach far, Ms. Luu Thi Hoa and 8 local farmer association members chose to develop in the direction of value chain linkage, taking peppermint and Dong Van pear honey as key products associated with brand building and online sales.

Thanks to the guidance of the Tuyen Quang Farmers' Association, and having today's program, I have the opportunity to express my pride in being one of the farmers representing millions of farmers with fields and hills, developing their homeland products," farmer Luu Thi Hoa excitedly said.
