2Phong promotes the Good Agricultural Practices model

Dong Nai, a major specialized cultivation region in the Southeast, has seen positive changes in various agricultural methods: soil fertility is being restored, crops are growing stronger, and yields are rising significantly. A key factor is the support of the 2Phong fertilizer brand, guided by its sustainable farming philosophy, “Healthy Soil – Healthy Crops,” along with the 2Phong Good Agricultural Practice project.

Not merely supplying fertilizers, 2Phong is collaborating with farmers to create a sustainable agricultural future, where soil is regenerated, crops reach higher quality, and the value of cultivation is maintained over the years.

Soil degradation and the need for innovative farming practices

With large areas cultivated with coffee, durian, cashew, pepper, rubber, and other high-value crops, Dong Nai faces an urgent need to modernize farming techniques, especially amid climate change, extreme weather events, and prolonged soil degradation. To meet this practical demand, 2Phong organizes quarterly scientific conferences and customer appreciation events. At the most recent conference held in Binh Phuoc ward, agricultural experts and many farmers agreed that soil “health” is the fundamental factor impacting crop yield and quality.

Dr. Pham Cong Tri, an agricultural expert, emphasized: “To achieve stable cultivation, it is necessary to restore humus, enhance microbial activity, reduce reliance on fast-acting chemical fertilizers, and address soil compaction.” This assessment accurately reflects the current state of local agriculture, where many cultivated areas have reduced moisture and nutrient retention capacity, directly impacting crop growth.

“Healthy Soil – Healthy Crops” and evidence-based practices in the field

Guided by a vision of sustainable agriculture, 2Phong has implemented a range of integrated solutions to restore soil “health,” notably including new-generation organic NPK complex fertilizers using EcoNanomix technology. These products increase soil organic matter, improve soil structure, stimulate beneficial microorganisms, and promote strong root development, thereby enhancing nutrient absorption efficiency and reducing farmers' input costs.

Notably, 2Phong also hosts live field broadcasting sessions, providing on-site professional exchanges. During these sessions, farmers can directly observe root systems, soil aeration, and canopy recovery, while discussing care processes with experts and technical engineers.

Luu Minh Nguyen, Marketing Director of 2Phong, explained: “This approach allows farmers to see results directly on their own land, building trust in sustainable farming methods.”

The 2Phong Good Agricultural Practice project is widely implemented, focusing on maintaining field diaries, monitoring growth cycles, and standardizing care procedures tailored to each crop. This initiative serves as a vital tool to ensure transparency in farming practices and to meet the increasing demands of both domestic and export markets.

Practical results from agricultural models in Dong Nai

Through ongoing monitoring, many production models in Dong Nai province have shown positive results after implementing 2Phong solutions. In communes such as Nghia Trung, Dak Nhau, Bom Bo, Binh Tan, and Long Ha, farmers report looser soil, increased humus content, and higher populations of earthworms and crickets - key signs of healthy soil.

Nguyen Van Be, owner of a durian farm with over 200 trees in its second year of production, said: “The soil retains moisture better and the color is noticeably darker than before. Many growers have experienced improved yields and faster recovery after harvest.”

Bui Quang Khiem, a farmer in Nghia Trung, added: “Last season, my 60 durian trees produced 11 tons. This year, the trees are growing vigorously, with stable shoots and healthy foliage from the start of the season, so we expect yields to go up further.”

The impact on coffee cultivation is even more pronounced. Xu Vay Phong, who manages nearly 20 hectares of farmland in Nghia Trung, including 5 hectares of coffee, reported that on 1 hectare of intercropped durian land near his home, yields increased from 2 tons per hectare to 4 or 5 tons per hectare, thanks to strict adherence to the 2Phong Good Agricultural Practice protocols. Similarly, Ho Nhi Hinh from the same area saw his yields rise from 5 to 6 tons last season to over 10 tons this year. Notably, the trees maintained healthy foliage throughout the season, providing a solid foundation for the next cycle.

For rubber cultivation, many farmers also reported significant increases in latex output per tapping panel.

These results demonstrate that focusing on soil restoration, rather than merely increasing chemical fertilizer usage, has enhanced productivity, reduced input costs, and created a sustainable foundation for agricultural production. Many farmers view this approach as a suitable long-term strategy that supports stable livelihoods and improves local crop quality.

Experience in Dong Nai shows that the Good Agricultural Practices model implemented by 2Phong is delivering tangible benefits. Restoring soil “health” not only boosts yields in each crop cycle but also fosters sustainable farming systems, supporting the development of a stable, resilient agricultural sector. With the “Healthy Soil – Healthy Crops” approach, these models are opening up new prospects for agricultural production in one of Vietnam’s key farming regions.

Amid an unpredictable climate, depleted soil, and increasingly demanding export standards, 2Phong is offering a sustainable solution by prioritizing soil health at its core. The 2Phong Good Agricultural Practice Project is driving significant change in Dong Nai, helping farmers boost productivity while preserving their most valuable asset, the soil. "Healthy Soil – Healthy Crops – Sustainable Agriculture": this is both the commitment and the long-term journey that 2Phong is determined to pursue.
