The National Agricultural Extension Center’s representative to the signing ceremony was Mr. Le Quoc Thanh, Director of the Center, on the other part, the True Digital Vietnam representative was Mr. Nguyen Manh Long, Director of the company's digital division.

According to Mr. Le Quoc Thanh, the National Agricultural Extension Center is currently the unit assigned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to develop the application of new technologies in production with a new perspective that is to promote public-private cooperation, especially from international groups such as True Digital.

“In order to be able to take shortcuts and take the lead, we must rely on the most advanced technology. Therefore, the National Agricultural Extension Center is constantly looking for suitable partners to develop the application of technology in agricultural production through public-private partnership programs", said Mr. Le Quoc Thanh.

In the opinion of the Director of the National Agricultural Extension Center, PPP is the optimal method to make use of the socialization resources and technological potential of the private side as well as improve the operational efficiency of the nationwide agricultural extension system.

“With the cooperation agreement signed today, we think that the technology solutions that True Digital offers are very suitable for the development strategy of bringing high technology into production, especially at the farm and farming household level, directly to farmers”, shared the Director of the National Agricultural Extension Center.

To clarify more about his technology background, Mr. Nguyen Manh Long, Digital Director of True Digital elaborated that the company's main platform is in the agricultural sector.

“True Digital is gradually bringing its technology products into the agricultural production process in Vietnam. Along with that, the testing and verification stages are carried out regularly”, said Mr. Long, adding that the first two areas that True Digital wants to develop in Vietnam are dairy and broiler farming, expands more on shrimp, pig and cultivation in the future.

Particularly, regarding technology solutions for dairy farming, True Digital will apply technology to maximize the reproductive process of cows, control the health of each cow individual and control the herd through transceivers.

As for broilers, True Digital's technology will solve problems related to flock weight, control microclimate and disease in the barn, connect to the supply chains through a system of cameras and sensors mounted in the barn.

According to the True Digital representative, if advanced technologies can be applied to production, farmers can both save costs and improve the operational efficiency of their models. However, to make the best use of this effect, it is necessary to have the participation of the National Agricultural Extension Center.
