Breakthroughs in IT, biotech and nanotechnology allow farmers to pilot a number of new models of production. High-yielding, high-quality, and food-safe plant varieties, watering efficiency models help farmers improve returns.

Many farmers have gone ahead with investing in high-tech machinery in production and processing to grow high-yield and high-quality seedlings and varieties.

Typical growing operations for the region include greenhouse and net house grown vegetables in Dao Thinh commune (Tran Yen district), Yen Hop commune (Van Yen district), sin co ginseng in Hoang, and grafting medlar in Xa Ho commune, Ban Cong (Tram Tau district).
