Recent years have seen numerous positive results from technological applications in Da Nang’s agricultural production in a flexible and innovative manner in a bid to enhance the productivity and the quality of agricultural products.

In particular, various advanced animal husbandry and cultivation techniques have been introduced to farmers in an attempt to enhance their livelihoods, and thereby partly promoting the upgrade of rural areas.

Hybrid seeds, mainly edible and medicinal mushrooms, many types of flowers and medicinal herbs, have been provided for farmers from the Ngu Hanh Son, Cam Le and Hoa Vang districts.

Thanks to the efficiency of the technological applications in agriculture, many of the made-in-Hoa Vang District agricultural products have won the strong trust of local consumers. 

Most notable amongst them are Hoa Tien Commune’s breed rice, Cam Ne and Tuy Loan organic vegetables, plus La Chau and Nhon Phuon mushrooms.

For instance, the Nhon Phuon Mushroom Cooperative earns an annual revenue of hundreds of million VND from the sales of various types of mushrooms.

In an attempt to further the development of hi-tech agricultural production, many dedicated organic vegetable growing areas, meeting the Viet Nam Good Agricultural Practices (VietGap) standards, have been established in a bid to satisfy the growing demand for healthy and fresh food products.

Such agricultural products as red-skinned dragon fruit with red flesh, guava, green-skinned pomelos, and straw mushroom, have also affirmed their position in the city’s market.

In particular, greenhouses which feature automatic irrigation systems and protecting expensive type of flowers from excessive sunlight and rain have been developed, and this model has proved very effective.

It is common to see that the application of advanced technologies has resulted in higher productivity and value than traditional cultivation methods.

In the coming time, the municipal Department of Science and Technology will concentrate on using advanced cultivation techniques to produce a variety of robust, disease-free, high-yielding products.

Accordingly, such techniques will be applied in growing such types of fruit as green-skinned pomelos and avocado, along with medicinal herbs with a high economic value.

Beside, heed will be paid to developing the value chain of biotechnology in environmental protection, clean and hi-tech agriculture, and healthcare.
