#hi-tech agriculture

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has suggested the northern province of Hai Duong focus on green growth, digital transformation and innovation based on the pillars of hi-tech and support industries, hi-tech agriculture, smart and green urban development.

The northern mountainous province of Cao Bang is taking an array of measures to turn tourism, border gate economic activities and hi-tech agriculture into the pillars of its economy.

Viet Nam has become known for its remarkable feat in becoming an agricultural powerhouse in a relatively short time, but it seems that the benefits accrued to farmers are not commensurate with the country’s comparative advantages and efforts.

The recent credit package worth nearly US$4.4 billion for hi-tech agriculture is expected to give a breath of fresh air to Vietnam’s agriculture amid the recurrent problem of “bumper crop, sliding prices”.

The government’s strong commitment to support the development of hi-tech agriculture has excited investors, but many difficulties lie ahead.
