The northern province of Bac Ninh has set a target of raising the proportion of hi-tech agriculture in the province’s total agricultural output value to 35 – 40% by 2025, with the awareness that hi-tech agriculture is the inevitable direction of agricultural development.
To realize this goal, Bac Ninh is rolling out a series of measures to attract resources for the sustainable development of hi-tech agriculture.
The hi-tech production model at the Liem Anh Hi-tech Organic Agriculture Cooperative in Viet Doan commune, Tien Du district, is a dream of many farmers. The cooperative, with director Nguyen Thanh Liem at its lead, generates around 1 billion VND (41,135 USD) in profit each year. The success is attributable to Liem’s resolve to study and apply scientific-technological advances to production.
Liem graduated from university with a degree in biology technology and got a job at a clean food in Hanoi to gain experience. He realized that farmers mostly use traditional farming techniques and rely on experience. As a result, the production value is low, and products do not meet food safety standards. In 2015, he decided to quit his job and return to his home village to start his own business in clean agriculture production.
