Promoting technology transfer for high-tech agriculture

Hue City outlines its development priorities for high-tech agriculture and the need to apply and adopt new technologies in production and processing

The workshop aimed to connect the practical needs of businesses, cooperatives and local authorities with research institutes, universities and technology providers. It also sought to promote the application of scientific and technological advances in agricultural production and processing, increase the value of agricultural products and develop agricultural value chains.

At the workshop, representatives of the city's agricultural sector outlined its priorities for developing high-tech agriculture, highlighting the need for technological applications and innovation in production, processing and value chain development. The Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology introduced technologies available for transfer and proposed solutions suited to local conditions. Business representatives also discussed their production needs and shared experiences in applying and transferring scientific research findings to practical operations.

Businesses seek opportunities to access and adopt modern technologies for production

Through the discussions, participants sought to identify specific technology needs and select solutions that are sufficiently developed for practical application and wider adoption. This would enable businesses, cooperatives and local authorities to access suitable technologies, while providing research institutes, universities and technology suppliers with more opportunities to bring their research outcomes to market.

Following the workshop, relevant agencies will compile information on technology needs and available solutions, identifying those ready for immediate transfer and those requiring further assessment or trials before adoption. They will also designate coordinating units and develop plans for further discussions among the parties involved. These steps will lay the groundwork for specific cooperation programs, promote the application of science and technology, and help improve the productivity, quality and competitiveness of Hue's agricultural products.
