This ecosystem will help connect industry players, thereby reducing production costs and increasing the price of agricultural products when they reach consumers through e-commerce platforms. This is also a tool for developing the agricultural sector in the 4.0 era.

The Farmer Network is a digital environment and integrates many system tools to help cooperatives, farmers, farms, and businesses in the agricultural sector manage effectively, grasp scientific knowledge promptly, optimize input materials, and create conditions for access to credit capital.

In particular, it helps farmers to be proactive in buying and selling, planning production and monitoring financial plans. Current applications on the market mainly focus on solving one step, one stage or one problem of farmers. With the Farmer Network platform, we aim to create a space for sharing and connecting farmers and experts, planning productivity forecasts, and accessing capital effectively.

The Farmer Network platform has all the features of a “social network”, integrating planning tools such as: Forecasting output/services, work diary, connecting credit institutions, forecasting selling price/profit margin, forecasting all input costs. This is also an agricultural product distribution channel that is suitable for consumer trends, easily connecting with IoT smart agricultural devices.
