Digital transformation is becoming an inevitable trend in agricultural development. In Lao Cai, many localities have actively introduced technology into production, gradually changing people's farming methods.
In Bat Xat commune, the application "Bat Xat Smart Agriculture" is being effective after a period of implementation. This is considered one of the solutions to support people to access information and production techniques faster.
To bring the application closer to the people, the Bat Xat Commune General Service Center has sent officials directly to villages and hamlets to guide installation and use. Many elderly households or those with little exposure to technology are supported on the spot.
The "holding hands and guiding" helps people easily get acquainted with operations on smartphones, thereby gradually eliminating the psychology of hesitation when accessing new technologies.
The application is designed to be simple and easy to use but integrates many features for production. People can look up information about crops and livestock suitable for local conditions.
In addition, the application also provides information about market prices, production situation and new technical advances. People can also send questions to receive advice from professional staff and agricultural experts.
Thanks to rapid access to information sources, many households have become more proactive in production. The selection of varieties, seasons and care techniques is carried out based on updated information instead of just relying on experience.
Many households have boldly applied technical advances to production, thereby contributing to improving productivity, quality of agricultural products and minimizing risks due to weather and epidemics.
In parallel with the application deployment, the locality also organizes short training classes to improve technology skills for people. This is also an opportunity for people to exchange experiences and learn from each other.
From being still unfamiliar with technology, many people now see smartphones as a powerful support tool in production. The change in awareness is considered an important factor in helping digital transformation become substantive.
According to local assessments, the application of digital technology not only saves time and costs but also improves the ability to connect information and markets for people.
In the coming time, Bat Xat commune will continue to expand the application to more production households. This is expected to be an important driving force contributing to improving the value of agricultural products, improving income and promoting sustainable agricultural development in the area.
