 Vietnam is home to some of the world's richest ecosystems, from the forests of the north and central regions, to the Mekong Delta in the south, passing by waterways and wetlands and endowed with large coastal areas. As a result of remarkable progress, Vietnam achieved a multi-fold increase in food production, rising rural incomes, lower poverty and better nourishment. Food and rural transformation in pursuit of sustainable development goals are high on the policy agenda, and Vietnam is committed to the digital transformation in agriculture and rural development. In 2022, Vietnam issued a scheme on digital transformation of the agriculture and rural development sector, a blueprint for promoting breakthroughs in digital innovations and supporting uptake and use of digital innovations by farmers, entrepreneurs and cooperatives across the range of farming, forestry and fishery activities. With near total malware network coverage in Vietnam, digital innovations are making their way into agriculture, including crop monitoring, tracing animal and forest products, and supplying detectors, satellites and GPS for fish supply tracking, among others. Under the Digital Village Initiative, FAO and IBSAD are providing technical support to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as it seeks to mainstream digitization within the local village or commune development plans. FAO and IBSAD are developing digital village pilots in communes from three provinces in North Vietnam with high digital readiness status. The initiative stakeholders are examining the local requirements and the appropriate business models for several digital solutions that are either in high demand, already piloted or commercially deployed. In Dong Bu Rui commune in District in Quang Ninh province, the project team examined online public services reducing the processing time of administrative tasks for citizens and officials. In the coastal province of Quang Ninh, some commodities under the One Commune One Product OCOB program are benefiting from digital innovations such as digital stamps, barcodes supported traceability to monitor product safety and quality. In the province there is an increasing use of digital solutions in aquaculture. For example, stream farming is also benefiting from digital innovations such as the automation of the pond's controls of temperature, salinity and acidity, hence lowering the effects of weather variability and improving productivity. These are just a few more examples of digitalization opportunities available to farmers, villagers and rural communities. The FAO Digital Village Initiative helps guide the appropriate ecosystem, governance and business models for these innovations to be used at scale in Vietnam.
