Lam Dong invests in high tech agriculture

Central Highlands province of Lam Dong is now Vietnam’s largest agricultural high tech zone (AHZ), after an investment of 13 trillion VND ( 611 million USD) since 2011.

Of which, 7.4 trillion VND (347 million USD) was contributed by the people.
 
 
At present, the province has nearly 40,000ha of arable land where advanced agricultural technology is being applied, with 14,600ha used for fruit and vegetable production, 15,300ha for coffee production, and 5,600ha for tea production.
The production value per unit in the province’s AHZ reached approximately 255-300 million VND per ha in 2013, more than double that of regular arable land.
Meanwhile, around 120 organizations and individuals throughout Lam Dong have been recognised as fulfilling international high tech agriculture production standards.
Moreover, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has officially licensed 4 enterprises as high tech agricultural firms.
