Strengthening research–market linkages for agricultural transformation in Southern Viet Nam
The conference on “Developing science, technology, innovation and digital transformation to support growth in Southern Viet Nam’s agricultural sector,” held on November 2 in Can Tho City, highlighted the need to reform how scientific and technological resources are organized and utilized in agriculture. Despite the region’s considerable advantages in production, research and investment, the commercialization of science and technology products remains limited, while agricultural value chains are not yet adequately integrated. Addressing these shortcomings is essential to making science and technology a genuine driver of productivity, added value and the competitiveness of agricultural products.
