In the livestock sector, we have applied a sensor system to control the microclimate of the barn, automatic feeding and water supply; managed and monitored livestock and the origin of animals using software; and sold products online through electronic transactions. In the fisheries sector, we have applied a voyage monitoring system in fisheries exploitation to manage fishing vessels and support fishermen during fishing at sea; at the same time, automation technology has been widely applied in the seafood processing stage from classification, steaming, packaging, production lines, etc., thereby helping to reduce production costs and ensure the quality of seafood products.

Statistics from localities show that currently, the whole country has more than 2 million agricultural production households trained in digital skills, nearly 50,000 agricultural products have been put on e-commerce platforms and thousands of electronic transactions have been carried out; this shows the initial effectiveness of the digital transformation of agriculture.
In terms of difficulties, the current human resources for digital transformation are still limited , especially the level of people.
