Abstract

The aim of this article is to assess the importance and development of high-tech agriculture in Vietnam under the context of industrialization and urbanization. Due to pressure from international economic integration and climate change in recent years, high-tech agriculture seems to be an affordable direction for Vietnam to renovate the agricultural sector. Although high-tech agriculture has existed in different locals and sub-sectors of agriculture such as crop, livestock, and aquaculture, and Vietnam has obtained initial achievements in adopting high-tech agriculture, this country has to face a number of challenges related to land, credit, information technology, and human resources in the process of developing high-tech agriculture. Lastly, policies are recommended to facilitate the development of high-tech agriculture in Vietnam.

Keywords: High-tech agriculture, industrialization, urbanization, Vietnam
