Central Highlands farmers boost digital transformation

The Central Highlands has significant potential and advantages regarding land, climate, and soil conditions for developing large-scale, modern agriculture focused on the agricultural economy. Recently, provinces in the Central Highlands have gradually introduced "digital technology" through exemplary smart agriculture models, creating a complete digital agriculture ecosystem aimed at sustainable development.

Instead of relying solely on experience to care for durian, this man now uses a mobile app to adjust his care methods based on information about soil moisture, environmental temperature and pH levels collected from sensors installed in the garden.

Digital technology is not only applied in agricultural production but also in product consumption and promotion.

By scanning a QR code, users can access detailed product information, alerts about counterfeit risks, and recommendations regarding expiration dates.

Currently, several provinces in the Central Highlands are testing an agricultural information management system.

The system helps reduce paperwork, save time, and assists residents in accessing agricultural information via mobile apps.

It also serves as tools for monitoring and managing the entire agricultural sector, integrating with shared databases to facilitate the use of various digital solutions.

Alongside the rapid growth of e-commerce, agricultural products from the Central Highlands have increasingly emerged on digital platforms. As a result, these products can easily reach consumers, enhancing their value and expanding both domestic and international markets, thereby promoting the transition from "agricultural production" to "agricultural economy" in the Central Highlands./.
