Vietnam provinces expand high-tech agricultural applications

Provinces in Vietnam, including Quang Ninh and Bac Ninh, are increasingly integrating science, technology, and mechanization into their agricultural sectors to enhance productivity and product value.

In Quang Ninh, efforts focus on replacing traditional, low-yield crop varieties with modern ones and standardizing endemic livestock such as Mong Cai pigs, Tien Yen chickens, and Sind cattle. The province is also prioritizing genetic resource conservation and freshwater aquaculture development.

In Bac Ninh, mechanization has reached high levels, with land preparation and irrigation achieving 98% coverage. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are being utilized for seeding, fertilizing, and spraying pesticides across more than 8,000 hectares. Additionally, the region has seen a rise in high-tech vegetable and flower production using net houses and automated irrigation systems. Digital technologies, including QR codes, are being implemented to improve traceability and transparency in the supply chain.
