Vietnam digital transformation and agricultural evolution

Overview

Vietnam is implementing digital transformation and modernization initiatives across various sectors. In media, institutions are cooperating to develop a digital workforce focused on content creation, livestreaming, and legal compliance. In agriculture, the country is transitioning toward an “agricultural economic mindset.” Efforts in provinces like Phu Tho utilize the OCOP program to standardize quality and traceability. High-tech adoption, including AI-integrated cameras and IoT technology, has been reported in Thanh Hoa to reduce costs and increase productivity.

Recent developments emphasize a strategic shift toward green, ecological, and circular agriculture. In Hanoi, the sector is prioritizing high-quality rice varieties to increase economic value per hectare; despite a decrease in total cultivation area, average rice productivity rose by 2.6% in 2026, with high-quality varieties accounting for approximately 82% of production. In the maritime sector, experts are advocating for a green seafood value chain to manage organic waste and plastic, noting that roughly 30% of the 1.3 million tons of seafood processing by-products could be repurposed into high-value materials like fish oil and collagen.

Modernization efforts include the adoption of IoT technology in Bac Ninh greenhouses, where sensors and automated irrigation allow for remote monitoring. In Tuyen Quang, the Sang Nhung Safe Food Production and Processing Cooperative has implemented a 3F (Feed-Farm-Food) model, integrating breeding, feed production, and processing under VietGAP standards to ensure traceability. These advancements reflect a broader movement toward high-value, knowledge-based, and closed-loop agricultural systems.
