🌱 Lack of “Locomotives” Leading High-Tech Agricultural Enterprises Vietnam currently has only about 50 enterprises recognized as “high-tech agricultural enterprises” and fewer than 300 agricultural enterprises applying high technology. These numbers are modest given the need for Vietnamese agricultural products to increase value in the international market. 🚜 Challenges Faced At the 2024 Agricultural Forum, Mr. Dang Kim Son, Permanent Vice President of the Association of High-Tech Agricultural Enterprises, highlighted that the main force in Vietnam’s agricultural production consists of around 10 million small-scale farming households and several million agricultural business households. However, less than 3% of the total number of agricultural enterprises apply high technology. Mr. Ngo Minh Hai, Chairman of the Board of Directors of TH Group, emphasized the benefits of applying high technology in agriculture, citing TH true MILK's advanced technological investments that have led to a production capacity of 1 million liters/day, a record in the dairy industry. 📈 Case Studies According to Thaco Agri’s Q2 2024 financial report, the company’s profit after tax in the first 6 months of 2024 reached nearly 4.9 billion VND, reversing a loss of nearly 383 billion VND from the same period last year. Thaco Agri has a large-scale agricultural investment strategy over 84,000 hectares in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, aiming to significantly increase outputs of bananas, rubber latex, cows, and pigs. Mr. Tran Ba Duong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Thaco, emphasized the need for integrated circulation in agricultural production, covering construction, machinery, industry, investment, human resources, and organizational structures. 🌾 Barriers for Smaller Enterprises Despite the successes of large corporations, most Vietnamese agricultural enterprises are small and micro-sized, often cooperatives or households. They face numerous challenges such as: ▪ Lack of land for large-scale production ▪ Insufficient capital for investment ▪ Lack of support from research institutions ▪ Limited access to information and technology ▪ Scarcity of qualified consultants Meanwhile, international markets are imposing increasingly stringent demands on imported agricultural products. 📊 #Agriculture #HighTech #Innovation #VietnamAgriculture #BusinessGrowth #Sustainability #Agribusiness #TechInAgriculture #TradeInt #BKE #BrianKnowExim

In the USD 140 Bn Indonesian agriculture market – What differentiates the laggards from the leaders?   Following up from our previous #Agritech post, let’s look at the factors and dimensions that are at play in Agritech along with the typical approach adopted by the successful player:   🌾Aim for full stack offerings as a long-term goal with financing being a part of it.    🍌Focus on select crops and develop capabilities within that sphere before pivoting to other crops.    🚚 B2B (supplying output products to Horeca, export houses, and processing centers) is more profitable compared to the simple B2C farm-to-fork model.     🚢Export and private label are also more margin additive and good to have in the product portfolio.   Check out our latest newsletter on Indonesia’s immense agritech potential for more: https://lnkd.in/dMiwcMrt or reach out to our in-house experts:   Roshan Raj | Yash Rathi | Aayush Gupta | Rizky Bayuputra   Follow Redseer Southeast Asia for more specialized insights.
