Tel Aviv (VNA) – Israeli agritech companies can help Vietnam increase the productivity and quality of agricultural exports, thus sharing profits, said Vietnamese Ambassador to Israel Ly Duc Trung when attending a seminar held on March 24 to promote the Middle Eastern country's agritech in Vietnamese market.

They presented various types and advantages of agricultural technologies applicable in Vietnam, including remote sensing, imaging, sensors, automation, drones, and data analysis models.
Notably, a representative from Zemach introduced technologies that support cultivation such as those monitoring soil quality, moisture, nutritional needs, pests, and automated management process. The AgreTech company suggested some sustainable farming solutions using renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources.
A representative from the Kinneret Innovation Centre said that Israel, from a very low starting point in agriculture, has achieved success thanks to four main factors – promoting cooperation between farms and agricultural businesses, establishing a common vision for the country and its regions, supporting innovation, and valuing talent.
