Experts have said automatic andsemi-automatic technologies used in agriculture have contributed to increasingoutput and ensuring food safety.
Information technology is instrumental inoverseeing, directing and forecasting agro-forestry-fisheries production whilebiotechnology helps choose high-yield varieties and breeding animals.
Technological advances are being adopted togrow flowers, vegetables and raise fowl, cattle and aquatic products in LamDong, Kien Giang, Bac Ninh, Vinh Phuc, Ha Nam and Nghe An.
Vietnam is now home to 35 high-techagricultural areas and five high-tech intensive farming areas for shrimp,flowers and rice which have been recognised in Kien Giang, Lam Dong, Phu Yenand An Giang provinces.
There are 12 high-tech cultivationenterprises, 19 others in aquaculture and nine in animal husbandry that usemodern technology nationwide.
The Vietnam Young EntrepreneursAssociation’s Digital Agriculture Association (DAA) called for building a sustainable,stable and effective master plan for key agricultural products, from planningto policies, incentives and trade promotion.
Luong Van Tu, Chairman of the Vietnam Coffee- Cocoa Association, said to increase the value of coffee beans, firms must investin roasted, ground and instant coffee and other processed products, so theyneed mid and long-term credits at reasonable rates.
Minister of Agriculture and RuralDevelopment Nguyen Xuan Cuong suggested offering incentives for importedtechnologies, improving technological expertise at home and facilitating thetransfer and purchase of patents.
He urged facilitating agricultural firms’access to loans, developing start-ups and building high-tech incubators,targeting young people and individual business households to inspire theirstart-up spirit.
To master technological advances, he stressedthe need to improve skills of technical and governance staff, tertiaryeducation and vocational training quality.-VNA
