Vietnam modernizes agriculture through science and technology

Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Environment is shifting its focus toward science and technology that generates measurable value and practical results for the agriculture and environment sectors. Since 2021, the ministry has integrated 225 varieties of crops, livestock, aquaculture, and forestry into production, alongside 150 technical advances and 158 patents.

The implementation of over 2,000 high-tech, smart, and climate-resilient agricultural practices has reportedly increased economic efficiency and reduced investment costs by approximately 20-30%. To support this, the ministry is prioritizing data infrastructure, including the development of 21 databases and four sector-wide information systems covering areas such as fisheries, hydrometeorology, and land use.
