Vietnam Digital Agriculture Association (VIDA) Launched to Revolutionize Agriculture with 4.0 Technology

Hanoi, Vietnam – On the morning of September 29, the Vietnam Digital Agriculture Association (VIDA) officially launched and held its first Congress for the 2019-2024 term. This new association aims to be a crucial platform for transforming Vietnamese agriculture through digital integration.

Mr. Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of FPT Corporation and Chairman of VIDA, shared his optimism for the sector. "Vietnam's agricultural sector is witnessing the most significant positive changes with immense prospects, promising to be one of the breakthrough industries in the future," he stated. Mr. Binh's assessment is based on the positive impacts of the Industry 4.0 revolution and the tireless efforts of a new generation of agricultural entrepreneurs.

A Unified Front for Digital Agriculture

Developing from the High-Tech Agriculture Club (DAA) under the Vietnam Young Entrepreneurs Association (VYEA), VIDA's establishment aims to strengthen collective power, foster solidarity, and consolidate resources to propagate and advance Vietnamese agriculture towards digitalization. Its ultimate goal is "Prosperity by Agriculture."

"The Steering Committee for the establishment of the Vietnam Digital Agriculture Association earnestly seeks the concerted efforts of entrepreneurs from all agriculture-related fields, including production, processing, trade, investment, technology, farming, fertilizers, plant/animal protection, and logistics," Mr. Binh appealed.

The Association is set to support large-scale projects aimed at modernizing Vietnam's agriculture. This includes:

• Introducing high-quality agricultural product centers worldwide.
• Developing a global online agricultural product exchange platform.
• Implementing a digital agricultural vocational training system for Vietnam and the region.
