Typically, rice with many quality varieties, combined with the SRI intensive farming method, has brought about a yield of 60 - 70 quintals/ha, an average income of 40 - 45 million VND/ha/crop, an increase of 15 - 20% compared to mass production. Vegetable models applying science and technology have brought about an income of 60 to over 100 million VND/ha.

Vegetable production according to the VietGap model is also proving its economic efficiency for farmers. The integrated economic models of farms, shrimp, crab, and tilapia farms have brought in an income of over 200 million VND/year. Some traditional occupations such as making vermicelli, growing mushrooms, and clean salt production groups have also applied science and technology in production, contributing to improving productivity and value for people.

The conference also discussed solutions to replicate the model of applying scientific and technological advances in the period of 2015 - 2020, focusing on market demand, policy mechanisms and loans to support farmers to replicate the model, contributing to increasing the value per unit area, meeting the income criteria in the new rural construction program in Dien Chau.
