On the morning of December 27th, the Western Highlands Agro-Forestry Science and Technology Institute (WASI), in collaboration with enfarm Agricultural Technology Company, organized a workshop to announce the research results on smart fertilization technology and introduce the enfarm F smart fertilization equipment set (for farmers) and enfarm F+ (for cooperatives and businesses).

Attending the workshop were Dr. Nguyen Quoc Toan, Director of the Center for Digital Transformation and Agricultural Statistics ( Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development ); representatives from relevant departments, agencies, and units; and a large number of cooperatives, farmers, experts, and managers.

Dr. Nguyen Quoc Toan, Director of the Center for Digital Transformation and Agricultural Statistics, spoke at the workshop.

According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, fertilizer efficiency in Vietnam is very low, only reaching 40%, meaning that about 60% of the fertilizer is not absorbed by plants and remains in the environment. The annual loss is equivalent to 60 trillion VND, based on current fertilizer prices. Wasteful fertilizer use increases production costs, reduces the competitiveness of agricultural products, causes environmental pollution, and disrupts the ecological balance.

In the context of Vietnam's strong commitment to environmental protection in the international market, enfarm Agricultural Technology Company has developed the enfarm F and enfarm F+ smart fertilization equipment sets to address fertilizer challenges, helping farmers save on cultivation costs, increase crop yields, prevent soil degradation, and ensure the maintenance of a sustainable ecosystem.

Enfarm Agricultural Technology Company signs cooperation agreements with several organizations.

The enfarm F and enfarm F+ equipment consists of two components: a sensor that collects information about plant growth and soil nutrients, and a device that records and transmits data to enfarm's server system for analysis and provides information to farmers via a mobile application. enfarm's AI system simultaneously evaluates the criteria of the four closely related components (Soil - Water - Crops - Fertilizers), comparing them to recommended thresholds from plant science. This allows it to provide the most suitable solution, recommending to each farmer when to apply fertilizer, what type, and at what dosage, in order to improve economic benefits and protect the environment. This creates a foundation for farmers to easily achieve carbon credits according to the Environmental Protection Law.

Furthermore, the enfarm application integrates many other features such as providing information on humidity, pH, GPS, irrigation water quantity, and optimal irrigation days for crops… helping to address soil degradation issues and maintain a sustainable ecosystem. In particular, GPS is a crucial feature for Vietnam at present, supporting farmers in tracing the origin of agricultural products and proving the origin of cultivated land in accordance with the European Union's anti-deforestation regulations.

Speaking at the workshop, Dr. Nguyen Quoc Toan, Director of the Center for Digital Transformation and Agricultural Statistics, emphasized that the application of technology in the digital transformation of agriculture is crucial in production. This is the foundation for the agricultural sector to move towards the goal of developing green and sustainable agriculture that Vietnam is pursuing.
