The conference, themed “Application of science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation among farmers,” was convened by the Vietnam Farmers’ Union and the Government Office.
It brought together senior Party and State leaders, experts, scientists, and 150 outstanding farmers and cooperatives, with online links to 34 provinces and cities nationwide.
Delegates welcomed the Government’s recent actions in agriculture and rural development, saying they had delivered practical benefits. They called for continued policy support to accelerate technology transfer, strengthen science-based production and processing, and enhance training and digital transformation capacity for farmers.
Participants also urged stronger linkages between businesses, cooperatives, scientists, and farmers; expanded innovation programs; and additional measures on credit, taxes, and capital access to boost high-tech, organic, and circular agriculture. They requested policies to upgrade logistics networks and to stabilize the quality and prices of agricultural inputs. Several delegates emphasized the need to unlock land resources to sustain rural livelihoods.
In his concluding remarks, PM Chinh commended the democratic and candid tone of the dialogue. He directed the Government Office and the Farmers’ Union to compile all recommendations and issue an official summary of conclusions ensuring what he described as “six clarities”.
The Prime Minister instructed ministries and localities to continue reviewing and enacting open policies on land, credit, science, technology, and digital transformation in agriculture, while expanding programs that support farmers and rural communities. He called for solutions to long-standing challenges in agricultural insurance, aiming to develop a stronger market to protect producers against crop losses, price volatility, and natural disasters.
He encouraged provinces to tailor policies for each development stage in line with national orientations, stressing that farmers must remain the core actors, agriculture the economic engine, and rural areas the essential base of national growth.
He expressed confidence that a new generation of Vietnamese farmers, skilled, innovative, digitally capable and resilient, will help advance modern, prosperous agriculture, raise the profile of Vietnamese agricultural products globally, and build more dynamic and civilized rural communities.
