Hanoi’s Agricultural Extension Center will continue to organize training courses, communication and provide financial support for the application of hi-tech in farm production.
To speed up the application of high technology in farm production, the Hanoi Agricultural Extension Center has launched 14 models of hi-tech farming in the 2016-2020 period.

The 14 models included four in cultivation, two in husbandry and eight in fish farming. The center also organized 643 technical training courses for extension staff, farmers, members of cooperatives and farms with the participation of 14,300 people. It is expected to carry out 77 training courses with 5,110 participants in the near future.
So far, high tech farming models have received positive response from farmers, according to Hanoi’s farm extension authorities. The center will continue to organize training courses to improve farmers’ skills and expand promotion activities relating to hi-tech application in production. It will also give financial support to build a pilot model for high tech farming quality and efficiency demonstration and improve training quality.
In late 2018, the city’s authorities issued Resolution No.10/2018 on policies to encourage cooperative development, link production with consumption of farm produce and build infrastructure in rural areas. Accordingly, from January 1, 2019 a series of mechanisms such as support for vocational training, hi-tech agricultural production, organic agriculture, trade promotion and market development, have been implemented.
The city will focus on removing obstacles to attract investment in high-tech agriculture in the city as a main solution to foster high-tech farming. The city’s agricultural authorities also continued accelerating the restructuring of the industry towards large-scale production in line with advantages and markets; promote preservation, processing and consumption of agricultural products in the value chain.
Targeting average growth in agricultural production of 3.5-4% per year by the end of 2020, Hanoi focuses on developing modern agricultural production models, applying high technology, striving for the proportion of product value to reach 25-35% or more of the city’s total agricultural output value.
