Many concentrated commodity production areas have been formed and developed, creating a volume of goods as raw materials for the processing and export industry. Among them, many agricultural, forestry and fishery products are highly competitive, occupying an important position in the domestic and international markets.

Up to now, Nghe An has applied high technology in the agricultural sector and achieved initial results. However, the development of high-tech agricultural production has not been commensurate with the province's potential and advantages.

At the conference, delegates said: To produce crops that meet high-tech standards, the first problem to be solved is the seed stage, followed by fertilizers, pesticides and care processes. It is recommended that the Provincial People's Committee create conditions for businesses to soon build high-tech orange seed production farms to serve the demand for high-quality orange seeds for orange growers.

The province needs to implement specific planning in each region to effectively apply production equipment, with priority given to medicinal plants applying high technology; build and implement technical training for professional staff on CNC production processes; have a mechanism for businesses to lease land for long-term production (currently 5 years) as well as build brands and find outlets for safe fruit and vegetable products...

Sharing experiences in CNC agricultural production in Lam Dong province, Mr. Nguyen Van Son - Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Lam Dong province said: Farmers are the main subjects in CNC agricultural production, along with production is the connection to the consumption market. In particular, Lam Dong has built 9 brands of vegetables, flowers, and coffee products. Using and transferring high technology focuses on production from the seed stage, production, preservation... To develop CNC agricultural production, the most important issue is the seed stage.

Comrade Pham S - Vice Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee proposed: Nghe An needs to implement specific planning for concentrated production of crops in each region, calling for attracting investment in smart agriculture. Each region needs to prioritize businesses investing in CNC applications. Nghe An needs to focus on key products: dairy cows, tea, oranges, rice...; linking production and processing with the market. It is necessary to determine the roadmap for CNC agricultural production to have appropriate investment support policies...
