The plan encourages producers, firms, and cooperatives in concentrated agricultural areas to embrace high-tech economic models, such as smart agriculture and electronic farms while taking part in systems for product distribution and quality control.

The city expects to develop a high-tech agricultural center, dozens of high-tech agricultural zones, and at least 10 recognized high-tech agricultural enterprises.
To achieve the goals, Hanoi plans to enhance research and application of science and technology, as well as advanced techniques and high-tech production processes while promoting the use of digital technologies in smart agriculture.
The department will also develop infrastructure for high-tech agriculture and focus on improving workforce productivity.
In addition, it will raise awareness of the role of high technology in agriculture while supporting high-tech applications in agricultural production.
The Management Board of High-Tech Zones and Industrial Parks will lead efforts in the establishment of high-tech agricultural zones in an effective manner.
