Experts to discuss Central
Highlands’ drought crisis
This
The one-day workshop looked at the causes and impact of
the average annual loss of 51,200ha of forests as well as the impact of power
plants’ dams and reservoirs built on Srepok and Sesan on local livelihood,
environment and water resources.
The participants at the workshop also had a closer look
at the fast and unplanned growth of plantations of commercial trees such as
pepper, rubber, coffee and cashew, which had led to increased deforestation
in the highlands over the past few decades.
All the three above-mentioned causes had converted
areas such as the Central Highlands that once had plenty of water into
drought-hit regions that face a crisis every year.
This year’s drought is the worst in 20 years, which has
made rivers, streams and underground water sources to dry up, experts said at
the workshop.
A report released by the agriculture and rural
development ministry in April this year said 160,000ha of plants faced
critical shortage of water, causing economic losses of about VNĐ100 billion
each in Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Đắk Nông and Đắk Lắk, besides Lâm Đồng.
Panel discussions focused on climate change and the
impact of the El Nino phenomenon and possible threats to the region in the
coming years.

residents and representatives from Electricity of Việt
The steering committee for the Central Highlands
is a central government body that specialises in monitoring the political and
socio-economic balance of the region.
Drought hits Nghệ An Province
Prolonged drought in the central Nghệ An Province has
left rice fields fallow and local residents without water.
Yên Thành District’s agriculture and rural development
sector said that according to their estimates, about 1,500ha in the district
were unable to be cultivated, and 3,000ha of summer-autumn rice were left
unwatered. Forty to 60 per cent of households in mountainous communes were
lacking water for daily usage because wells had dried up.
Lê Đình Hùng, vice chairman of the People’s Committee
of Hùng Thành Commune in Yên Thành District, said farmers could not grow rice
in 234ha in the commune because all eight reservoirs in the commune had run
out of water.
More than 30 households in the commune had to dig new
wells over the past month to seek new sources of water.
The cost for this work increased because water could
only be found at a depth of 50-60 metres, instead of 30-40 metres as usual.
The surging demand for new wells also made it difficult
to hire people to do this work, said Nguyễn Viết Tân, head of Sơn Thành
hamlet.
“My family has waited for 15 days, but is still unable
to hire people to dig a new well,” Tân said.
He said drought was not a new phenomenon in his
locality, but it was so severe that people could not grow rice for the
summer-autumn crop this year, which was unusual.
Yên Thành District’s People’s Committee has decided to
support local residents with VNĐ3-5 million for every new well to ease the
burden.
Severe water shortages have also affected nearly 2,000
households with 9,000 people in the mountainous Nghi Văn Commune in Nghi Lộc
District.
Nguyễn Thị Thơm in hamlet 20 said her family had to
sell their only cow to get money to dig a new well.
“For the past month, we have had to ask for water from
other people in our hamlet for cooking. But water sources in the hamlet are
also drying up, so we have to spend VNĐ16 million to get a new well,” Thơm
said.
Cao Cự Đăng, vice chairman of Nghi Văn’s People’s
Committee, said the commune authority had asked local residents to share
water with each other and use it economically to cope with the situation.

V. League top teams meet in Round 17
The match between Hải Phòng and SHB Đà Nẵng will be the
focus of the V. League’s Round 17 this weekend.
Hải Phòng are the leaders with 34 points while SHB Đà
Nẵng are in third place, six points behind.
A win will help Hải Phòng strengthen their top position
while SHB Đà Nẵng may take the second place in case FLC Thanh Hóa do not beat
defending champions Becamex Bình Dương.
Hải Phòng grabbed two draws in a row in their last two
matches but it was on away grounds. They are, however, very powerful when
playing at home, as they have not lost any match at Lạch Tray Stadium. After
eight matches, they have won six and drawn two.
In this match, Teofilo Soares Eydison will be the key
striker of SHB Đà Nẵng who said goodbye to James Torace, while their best
forward Gaston Merlo is sidelined because of yellow cards.
Since playing for Đà Nẵng, Brazilian Eydison has scored
three goals.
SHB Đà Nẵng President Bùi Xuân Hòa said his team would
take all opportunities to beat their rivals for the cup.
He said the match was important, because if they won
they would narrow the gap with Hải Phòng, and it would make the race to the
podium more exciting.
SHB Đà Nẵng beat Hải Phòng 2-0 in the first leg game.
Becamex Bình Dương strongly dominated the V. League in
two recent seasons but they are struggling in this year’s event which runs
three fourths of its period and they are at No 8.
A 1-0 win over Quảng Ninh Coal last week pushed them up
a little bit after five matches in a row without a win.
Prior to leaving for Thanh Hóa, the team managers
steadily confirmed that their target was to defend their title.
Their personnel problem was solved when their key
players, midfielder Nguyễn Trọng Hoàng and defender Trương Đình Luật,
returned after their bans.
FLC Thanh Hóa, who have 29 points, also showed their
determination to compete for the top place.
A win over Becamex Bình Dương will at least maintain
the four-point lead with Hải Phòng and also create intense pressure on the
leader.
In their first leg match, FLC Thanh Hóa created a bang
with a 3-0 win, marking their first victory at Gò Đậu Stadium in two years.
Their only disadvantage was that technical director Lê
Thụy Hải could not be present with the team because of his two-match ban.
However their rivals were exhausted with a National Cup
match three days ago against Quảng Ninh Coal.
Elsewhere, Đồng Tháp are isolated at the bottom and
they are closest to relegation. They will travel to Nha Trang to play Sanna
Khánh Hòa.
Long An are next to Đồng Tháp and trying to escape from
the SOS area. They will meet with hosts Quảng Ninh Coal at Cẩm Phả.
Hoàng Anh Gia Lai are more confident after beating Hà
Nội T&T 1-0 last week. The team of youngsters, third from the bottom,
will visit Quảng
Cần Thơ will welcome newcomer Sài Gòn in a match
between two teams who stand at the middle of the ranking.
Two former champions Hà Nội T&T and Sông Lam Nghệ
An will meet at the Hàng Đẫy Stadium.
Coach Chu Đình Nghiêm of Hà Nội T&T said his team
would focus on each match and would grab any chance coming to them.
Tiến beats Zhang of

Taipei’s Yin Bang Shuo.
Earlier, Tiến, from Hà Nội, crushed his teammate Huỳnh
Minh Thịnh 2-0.
Seventeen-year-old Tiến won the U18 Thailand Open in
May.

Large-scale farm model a success but
lacks co-operation
The large-scale farm model, which has achieved great
success since being adopted in the Mekong Delta five years ago, could produce
even better results with closer co-operation between farmers and enterprises.
The model, which involves farmers pooling lands to
achieve economies of scale, works by co-operation between them and businesses
with support from the government and crop scientists, but is plagued by
inefficient co-operation.
There are often complaints by both farmers and the
agricultural businesses that the other has violated the contract: the former
complain the businesses come up with new demands when paddy prices fall,
while the latter claim farmers sell their produce to other traders when the
price increases.
Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development
Trần Thanh
In the near future, when export enterprises need
reliable sources of rice and farmers become aware they should be united with
businesses amid the country’s integration, they will develop a trusty
relationship, he says.
But for that there should be greater intervention by
authorities, he says.
Phan Công Bình, director of Công Bình, a company based
in Long An Province, says “We face many challenges without support from the
local government.”
He says the key to the problem lies in harmonising the
benefits of the two sides.
Farmers and enterprises agree that they rarely sue each
other even when one side violates the contract, but experts want penalties to
be made more stringent.
Đồng Tháp and An Giang were the first two provinces in
the country to adopt the model, which helps farmers cut costs and improve
quality.
But since the model was adopted, the cost came down to
VNĐ2,700, Nguyễn Văn Đồng, director of the provincial agriculture department,
says.
Five years after the programme began the delta has the
largest area -- 450,000 hectares -- under the large-scale farm model.
Several companies like Gentraco, Lộc Trời Corporation
and others have been operating efficiently under the model.
In the last two years alone, banks have lent VNĐ7
trillion (US$318 million) for 21 projects by companies involved in it, with
the money used to produce high-quality rice for export.

Quang Tri sculpture workshop
remembers iconic battle
Artists introduce works featuring the life of people
during battle of Quang Tri 1972 at a sculpture workshop in the central
province of Quang Tri.
The workshop, opened with the theme of Immortality and
Revival, showcased 22 works of various artists. The pieces depict those who
died in the Second Battle of Quang Tri which began on June 28 and lasted 81
days until September 16, 1972.
In July, many people from various provinces and cities
visited Quang Tri to light incense for those who died in the battle.
Veteran Tran Luan Tin named his work Immortality to
praise the courage and endurance of those who were there.
"That's the image of Vietnamese people after the
battle, rising up from the debris, bomb holes and bullet shells that are
everywhere. They never stop working to rebuilt the country. Tonnes of bombs
dropped during the war can deliver the deadliest blows but never kill the
spirit," he said.
Artist Vuong Duy Bien brought to the workshop his work,
Smile, to share about his view about belief in the strength of the soldier
and victory. It shows the smile of the soldiers after the battle.
"In the fierce battle, the soldiers continue
believing in victory and smiling to keep on fighting," he said.
Mother, the work of sculptor Pham Van Hang, is a
familiar yet powerful subject. Hang said he had visited Quang Tri Citadel and
the cemeteries many times to pay tributes to those who died and to understand
more about the life during the battle.
Those stories from the participation of young women in
the war to the mothers who used their own bodies as human shields made him
emotional. He wanted to depict a mother who was working hard to raise their
children, crying when their children left home for battles but also be
willing to die for the cause.
Mai Thuc, vice chairman of Quang Tri Province said,
"When you drink water, remember the source, that's what we want to show
in this workshop. It's the gratitude to those that died for our
independence."
Japan launches new Vietnam
friendship association
The Japan-Vietnam Friendship Association (JVFA) has
launched a new chapter in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, comprised of
200 members.
At the launch, JVFA President Ohta and General
Secretary Sakai Hironori said the new chapter will serve as a bridge to
promote economic growth and commercial trade between the two nations.
“The organization was created to support the
development of business,” Hiroshi said.
He said even though Vietnamese make up a small percentage
of the population in Japan, they contribute a large chunk of gross receipts
and so we felt it necessary to form the association.
“The conclusion was to join an established organization
with a set framework and connections to help the Vietnamese community to
communicate more as a unified voice,” he said.
The Vietnamese community particularly needs assistance
with starting a business in Japan, said Hiroshi, and so business creation
will be a big focus for us to assist individuals develop their businesses to
take them to the next level.
Vietnamese entrepreneurs don’t always use a support
system, but if they are given the right tools and use the resources that are
freely available, they will develop and grow a lot faster.
The lack of knowledge of resources is the biggest
challenge that I see, he said.
Vietnam Consul General Tran Duc Binh in turn pledged to
support the association and said he is confident it will contribute to
enhancing mutual understanding, friendship ties and economic exchange between
the two regions.
