On April 5, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Gia Lai province said that in western communes there are a series of large-scale pig farming projects in the form of farms. Therefore, it is necessary to closely monitor the impact on the environment, especially wastewater treatment technology.
According to statistics, the western communes of Gia Lai province currently have more than 200 pig farming projects, concentrated in areas such as Ia Lau, Ia Pia, Chu Prong, Po To, Chu Se, Ia Le, Ia Hru, Ia Hiao...
According to provincial functional agencies, large-scale pig farm projects contribute to creating jobs and income for local workers. However, it is necessary to closely monitor environmental issues. Businesses need to pay attention to investing in infrastructure to develop the economy in difficult localities, according to the principle of harmonizing interests; projects must be consistent with the general development plan of communes.
The western communes have large land funds, climate and water sources favorable for concentrated and large-scale livestock development, helping to improve the lives of local people who are dependent on rice fields, swidden fields, and small-scale, scattered production.
In Gia Lai province, De Heus - Hung Nhon Joint Venture is implementing the DHN Gia Lai High-Tech Livestock Farm project in Ia Le commune, with a total investment of about 1,000 billion VND, applying European technology.
When operating stably, the project can supply about 24,000 high-quality breeds each year to the Central - Central Highlands market.
According to the plan, the two corporations will expand the project scale in Gia Lai to 2,800 billion VND, becoming the largest agricultural investment project in the Central Highlands region, meeting international standards and export standards to the EU, Japan, Korea and the Middle East.
Mr. Pham Anh Tuan - Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee - requested businesses to study and consider implementing large-scale projects in areas with large land funds, suitable for the development orientation of concentrated livestock areas of the province.
Specifically, the An Khe pass foothill area is a vacant land, poor in nutrients, with little planting value and far from residential areas, very suitable for planning concentrated livestock farms.
