After planting soybeans for a long period of time, Mr. Dang Quang Chieu in Cu Jut district, Dak Nong province, has only seen real profits in the past three years. This is attributed to the Vinasoy Soybean Research and Application Centre’s active research, selection, and testing of a non-GMO soybean variety from more than 1,530 precious genetic resources, which it provides to local farmers. The area for soybean growing in Vietnam has continually declined since 2010, from nearly 198,000 hectares to just over 37,000 hectares. The active creation of high-quality soybean varieties will help businesses develop high-quality and stable raw material areas for agricultural processing. Resolving this issue cannot be done overnight, but with the cooperation of farmers and businesses, Vietnam is expected to soon ease its dependence on material imports./.
