In step with digital transformation

In the special meeting of the Steering Committee for Digital Transformation of Tuyen Quang province in October 2025, Comrade Hau A Lenh, Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee emphasized: Localities and units must be more proactive, creative and flexible in applying technology and digital transformation to operations. Only then will digital transformation truly become the backbone and core of life.

Gradually approaching the digital economy , in recent times, Tuyen Quang farmers, with the support of the government, have opened a channel to consume agricultural products in the digital space. This is a new direction that not only shortens geographical distance but also increases production efficiency and economic value. Vang Thi Dinh, a H'Mong girl in Ma Hong village, Nghia Thuan commune, quickly packs goods and introduces the uses of each item to customers via her smartphone. Dinh and her husband once left their hometown to work in Bac Ninh with the hope of changing to a more stable life for themselves, their children, and their parents. However, things did not go as expected. The couple returned to their hometown and were attached to the fields, herding buffalo and cows. With the support of the government, Dinh opened a booth on TikTok Shop... Vang Thi Dinh's products focus on local herbal and agricultural products: Liver-cooling leaves, Gynostemma pentaphyllum, blood grass tea, purple ground gourd... Dinh's regular customers gradually increased. Every day, Dinh's family regularly delivers 40-50 orders. When Dinh did not livestream to sell products, people in the area had to ride motorbikes to the city to sell wholesale. Now her house has become a purchasing address. On average, each month, Dinh and her husband purchase over 1 ton of agricultural products and herbs for people in the area.

It can be seen that the initiative of people, businesses and cooperatives is promoting the development of the digital economy faster, stronger and more effectively.

Realizing that if local businesses do not quickly access and apply artificial intelligence, they will be left behind in increasingly fierce competition, Chairman of the Provincial Business Association Nguyen Huu Thap has proactively turned concern into action. Not only initiating, Mr. Thap directly participates in teaching, sharing, training, bringing the spirit of "the one who goes first holds the hand of the one who goes after". Accordingly, the Provincial Business Association has organized 11 AI popularization classes with 1,200 officials and businessmen at businesses and cooperatives in the area.

However, with the characteristic of being a province with a majority of ethnic minorities, there are still many villages and communes with no mobile phone signal and no national grid power, so digital transformation, especially the transformation of the digital economy in Tuyen Quang, still faces many difficulties.

To overcome the lack of skills and knowledge in applying e-commerce, the science and technology sector is coordinating with relevant agencies to focus on training, helping businesses and people to apply technological solutions to their business activities. In particular, mass organizations and local authorities proactively develop training plans, instruct farmers and cooperatives to access solutions to optimize Zalo, apply ChatGPT and AI in building production and business plans, promote and introduce agricultural products and community tourism. At the same time, instruct people to use smartphones to look up techniques, update information, and guide them to build sales channels on Fanpage, Tiktok, Youtube... for OCOP products and key agricultural products in the area; have access to livestream sales skills, write product promotion content on digital platforms; Participate in markets, fairs, participate in e-commerce platforms, expand markets, introduce local agricultural products on cyberspace...

According to the report of the Steering Committee for Science and Technology Development, Innovation and Digital Transformation, in the first 9 months of 2025, postal enterprises focused on training and supporting the introduction of typical products and OCOP products to e-commerce platforms. Up to this point, 100% of agricultural production households with accounts participating in e-commerce platforms have been trained and coached; 100% of OCOP products are posted on e-commerce platforms. The province has deployed the 4.0 market model with cashless payment services at commune and ward markets, and applied electronic invoices to 100% of operating businesses. The rate of population aged 15 and over with electronic transaction accounts (including e-wallets and bank accounts) is about 85%. Banks in the province are providing over 1.3 million active payment accounts for customers.

From online stalls of local people to AI classes of local businesses, the digital economy is having a huge impact on the thinking and habits of people in the far North of the country. Each technological “touch” is a step forward for local goods and agricultural products to reach out to the vast market. When people, businesses, and the government join in the transformation, Tuyen Quang is writing the story of a borderless economy, where technology and the spirit of daring to think and dare to do create strength.
