Implementing the direction of the Provincial Party Committee, the People's Committee of Lam Dong province has widely applied the results of research and application of science and technology in production such as greenhouse technology, net house technology, irrigation technology and automatic control in high-tech vegetable and flower production areas. To attract farmers and the business community to produce high-tech vegetables and flowers, along with supporting seeds and materials, the Lam Dong Provincial Party Committee has also invested in building models and supporting farmers to build models for high-tech vegetable and flower production. The results of the models in localities all have yielded much higher productivity, quality, revenue and production efficiency than traditional production. Specifically, in Da Lat city, the sweet pepper model achieved revenue of 1,050 million VND/ha/year, 1.5 times higher, the fruit yield was 1.7 times higher than outdoor production; safe vegetables 7 crops/year, achieving revenue of 400 million VND/ha/year; strawberries achieved 300 million VND/ha/year; chrysanthemums 2.5 3 crops achieved total revenue of 500-600 million VND/ha/year.

Decision No. 509/QD-UBND, dated January 30, 2007, on approving the program for developing dairy, beef and buffalo farming in Lam Dong province for the period 2007-2010. Accordingly, along with planning work, the province has directed the implementation of preferential policies and investment support to attract investors in the field of dairy and beef farming in the planning areas; well managing breeding methods, improving and enhancing breed quality, producing and supplying high-quality dairy and beef breeds to breeders. Along with focusing on selecting high-quality breeds, the Provincial Party Committee has resolutely directed the elimination of dairy and beef breeds that do not meet breed standards according to the regulations of the national breed program.

Based on good seed sources, the Provincial Party Committee directed the planning of land funds for growing grass for raising cows; encouraged livestock farming according to the farm model.

In addition to dairy cows, the Provincial Party Committee has directed the development of high-quality beef cattle farming in the direction of agroforestry, while improving the local yellow cattle breed in the direction of Sindization. In addition, the Party Committee has also directed the implementation of veterinary solutions, the development and implementation of disease-free zone plans in planned dairy and beef cattle farming areas in the province.

Thanks to that, by 2010, the herd of cows reached 99,500, of which dairy cows

3,400 Sind crossbred cattle, 3 times higher than in 2005 [22, p.141]. In the province, many beef cattle farms with a scale of more than 500 cattle have appeared, such as Mai Tien Company, which invested in 600 Sind crossbred cattle and imported 400

high market demand

The domestic consumption market is very large but the supply is very limited.

Recognizing the above potential advantages, Lam Dong Provincial Party Committee has directed the Provincial People's Committee to establish a project to pilot cold-water fish farming in Da Lat and neighboring districts. Implementing the direction of the Provincial Party Committee, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has coordinated with the Fisheries Research Institute 3 to carry out the pilot salmon farming project.

In April 2006, the first salmon fry were tested at

K'Long village, Da Chais commune, Lac Duong district with a temperature of about 16

180C. Along with salmon, Russian sturgeon was also tested in Tuyen Lam Lake (Da Lat City) and some other neighboring lakes in the province. The results of the experimental models all showed that cold-water fish breeds developed well, with high productivity, output and meat quality. Based on the success of the experimental models, the Province supported investment in 05 cold-water fish farming models (03 sturgeon farming models, 02 Russian salmon farming models) in Da Lat, Duc Trong and Don Duong localities. The models all achieved good results with the survival rate of the fry reaching over 90%; the production value per unit area was 15-20 times higher than that of traditional fish. Practical testing from the models has opened up the great potential of the locality to promote the development of high-quality cold-water fish farming. Therefore, in 2008, Lam Dong Provincial Party Committee added cold water fish to the list of subjects applying the high-tech agricultural development program. In order to develop the cold water fish farming industry, the Provincial Party Committee directed the application of modern foreign farming technologies and techniques; developed feed factories for the subject.

registered investment enterprises, in which Hoang Pho Company has invested 5 billion VND to raise salmon and Russian sturgeon in K'Long, K'Lanh, Tuyen Lam lake and Da Nhim lake; Ha Quang Company plans to invest 8 billion VND; Company 75 has established a project to invest more than 44 billion VND; there are 9 enterprises investing in seed production. The area for commercial cold-water fish farming reaches 40 hectares, the output reaches 400 tons. The average salmon yield is 13.5 tons/ha, the revenue reaches 34 billion VND/ha/year, the cage farming of sturgeon reaches 3040 kg/m2, the revenue is 68 billion VND/1,000 m2/year [160, p.9].
