Agriculture is one of the three economic pillars of Binh Thuan province. The focus of development is ecological agriculture, applying high technology.
In recent times, the agricultural sector has promoted the development of high-tech agricultural production and smart agriculture associated with trade promotion and consumption of agricultural products to build a sustainable and modern agricultural production.
According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Binh Thuan province, effective high-tech agricultural models are being replicated. Among them, 100% of dragon fruit areas use compact light bulbs and LED lights to process off-season flowering; 42,090 hectares of rice apply advanced, water-saving farming methods and 9,050 hectares of dragon fruit are cultivated according to safety standards (VietGAP, GlobalGAP, organic).
In addition, the agricultural sector has deployed a model of tracing the origin of dragon fruit products using 1-touch technology at Hoa Le Clean Dragon Fruit Cooperative, Ham Minh 30 Dragon Fruit Cooperative, Trinh Anh Farm... All production processes of farms and cooperatives are transparent, combined with stamps and labels to identify the brand through electronic diary recording on Binh Thuan agricultural digital transformation software.

However, in recent years, high-tech agricultural models have been applied to many types of crops on a large scale and in large areas. It can be mentioned that the synchronous application of machinery in rice production with an area of 183 hectares from the sowing stage using transplanters, cluster seeders to the care process using a pesticide spraying system using unmanned aircraft in Tanh Linh district.
