Realizing that the trend of high-tech agriculture is growing strongly, after researching the market and preparing the necessary conditions for land fund, capital and human resources, Ms. Tran Thu Trang in Vinh Giang commune, Vinh Linh district decided to invest nearly 4 billion VND to open the high-tech agricultural farm Dfarm Quang Tri in Dong Soi village, Kim Thach commune, Vinh Linh district.
After nearly a year of construction and land improvement to ensure organic standards, in 2020, Dfarm Quang Tri was formed with a system of 10 greenhouses with a total area of 5,000 m2 designed and built according to Japanese standards from steel frames, nylon membranes, insect screens, automatic irrigation systems...
Ms. Trang said that the highlight of the farm is the automatic irrigation system using Israeli technology. With just a push of a button, all 10 greenhouses will be supplied with drip irrigation water. The nutrients delivered to the plants at each stage have also been pre-programmed.
Currently, from February to September every year, Dfarm grows melons, cantaloupes, and watermelons according to orders from consumers in Hanoi , Hue, and Da Nang, and partly sells them through retail channels with a total output of 25 tons of various melons. From October to December, Dfarm grows vegetables, tomatoes, and apples to serve the Tet market. All are certified organic standards. Annual revenue reaches over 2 billion VND. "Currently, many stages in the care process at Dfarm have been automated," said Ms. Trang.
The whole province has more than 30 greenhouses and net houses with an area of 3 hectares applying high technology - Photo: LA
Head of the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection (PPP) Bui Phuoc Trang informed that recently, the field of PPP has had many positive changes in applying achievements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Many units, organizations and individuals have applied digital technology to production, direction and management, changing the appearance, methods of operation and management, creating quality and clean products to supply to the market.
For example, the whole province has more than 30 greenhouses and net houses with an area of 3 hectares applying high technology; more than 5,000 hectares of crop area applying water-saving irrigation technology. Many models applying high-tech processes, Internet of Things (IoT) to the production of Phalaenopsis orchids, lilies, strawberries, super sweet tomatoes, and melons have brought about practical results.
Many new technologies and equipment have been applied to rice production such as: motor-driven transplanters with a capacity of transplanting 3 hectares/machine/day; motor-driven machines for fertilizing and sowing rice. Up to now, more than 95% of rice production areas have applied mechanization in land preparation, 50% of areas have applied row seeding tools and transplanters, and 95% of harvesting areas have applied mechanization.
In particular, the application of drones in crop care and pest control on rice, rubber, and cassava with an area of over 10,000 hectares has brought high efficiency in pest control, environmental protection, safety for producers, and towards building footprint-free fields.
Technology 4.0 has also become a powerful means and tool serving the agricultural sector. Accordingly, not only does it help farmers and local officials easily access knowledge about information and plant protection, digital transformation also helps at least 50% of agricultural households apply smartphones to manage production, exchange, buy and sell agricultural products online.
About 70% of commune agricultural officers, cooperative directors, and heads of agricultural production cooperatives use smartphones to connect with groups (Zalo, Facebook, etc.) of the department's departments/stations to manage, direct, and exchange agricultural production on the network. Thanks to that, local officers can update and exchange information on crop development, care measures, and pest control measures quickly, promptly, and effectively.

In the aquaculture sector, automatic devices have been used to replace humans in shrimp farming such as automatic shrimp feeding machines, oxygen warning devices, power warning devices, etc.; application of water environment monitoring and warning systems connected to the internet with smartphones; application of VMS technology to monitor fishing vessel journeys to manage fishing vessels; horizontal sonar scanners in purse seine fishing; VX 1700 communication device integrated with satellite positioning; radar scanner system in gill net fishing and automatic steering system on offshore fishing vessels.
In the field of irrigation, a system of 35 automatic rain gauge stations and automatic, visual natural disaster monitoring, warning and monitoring stations have been installed, exploited and effectively operated to effectively serve the work of warning, forecasting, directing and responding to natural disasters in the province.
At the same time, share information for free to the community through the website and Vrain software application installed on phones or computers to ensure proactive production and disaster response requirements. Apply WebGIS technology, Google Earth software, Map info to create current status maps, build information and data bases on irrigation systems, rural clean water, dikes, landslides and disaster prevention, exploit and promote efficiency, improve the quality of management, direction and operation.
Up to now, over 95% of OCOP entities have participated in sales on e-commerce trading platforms such as shopee, lazada, postmart... Through e-commerce sales channels, OCOP products and Quang Tri's typical products have the opportunity to reach consumers across the country faster; the quality of goods is positively responded and evaluated, helping the products gain a firm foothold in the market, motivating entities to continue to have more new product ideas and upgrade old products.
On the other hand, through digital platforms, online trade fairs, trading floors... the department has coordinated with the Department of Industry and Trade to promote agricultural products to domestic and international markets.
Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hong Phuong said that in order for digital transformation in agriculture to bring more practical results, based on the achieved results, the department has been and is continuing to develop database software in the fields of plant protection and quarantine, animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, and agricultural, forestry and fishery quality management to exploit and use in state management, forecasting and developing consumption markets.
At the same time, strengthen propaganda and raise awareness of localities, businesses and especially farmers about the role and importance of digital transformation in agricultural production. Upgrade and move towards building modern and synchronous digital technology infrastructure; improve access to telecommunications services, support farmers in using information technology equipment; train, improve qualifications, capacity to access and apply digital technology to agricultural production for farmers; upgrade infrastructure to facilitate access and application of digital technology in the agricultural sector.
