Ha Tinh’s Department of Science and Technology Drives Local Economy with High-Tech Agriculture: A Success Story

The Department of Science and Technology in Ha Tinh has achieved significant success in increasing the value of local products through the application of technology. Research tasks have enabled the department to master the technology of selecting and creating high-yield, good-quality plant and animal varieties that are well-adapted to production needs.

Phalaenopsis orchids, Panax notoginseng, and high-tech shrimp farming have all benefited from technological advancements. Phalaenopsis orchids and Panax notoginseng have shown promising yields using various models, while giant freshwater prawns have been raised using artificial intelligence technology.

Deputy Minister of Science and Technology, Tran Hong Thai, recognized the success of a high-tech agricultural model producing Phalaenopsis orchids during a visit to Thach Khe commune, Thach Ha district, Ha Tinh province. The program supporting the application and transfer of scientific and technological advances in rural and mountainous areas has played a crucial role in these advancements.

The Department of Science and Technology is also focusing on an experimental planting model for Bo Chinh Ginseng in Thach Ha district. This project aims to create a platform for expanding ginseng cultivation and replacing ineffective crops in the area. The application of technology has led to significant improvements in growth potential yields.

High-tech intensive shrimp farming has also been successful in various districts in Ha Tinh, with new technologies being used to improve farming efficiency. Models such as farming in floating round tanks, farming indoors, and biosafety farming have shown promise in improving productivity while reducing disease rates in shrimp populations.

In conclusion, the Department of Science and Technology’s efforts have driven economic growth and development in Ha Tinh through the application of science and technology. Their initiatives have not only increased product value but have also contributed to restructuring the agricultural sector towards higher added value products.
