Nguyễn Minh Phi, a farmer from Phước Dân Town, Ninh Phước District, said using traditional methods in agricultural production has not brought high economic efficiency.
In 2022, after visiting hydroponic vegetable farming models in HCM City and other provinces, Phi decided to invest over VNĐ700 million (US$29,920) in building a greenhouse to grow vegetables in the direction of clean agriculture.
Phi said growing green vegetables using hydroponics has helped farmers to eliminate harmful substances from plants.
It gets rid of the need for various soil-related tasks such as soil preparation, weeding, tilling, and watering, which helps save costs. Additionally, hydroponic vegetables are produced in a closed environment, avoiding influences from the external environment and insects.
The hydroponic rack is placed about one meter above the ground, minimizing the risk of fungi and diseases. As a result, there is no need for chemicals, he said.
