Applying digital transformation in management and sales for agricultural production cooperatives.

BTO - This is the content of a training course organized by the Provincial Agricultural Extension Center on the morning of May 22nd for farmers, farm owners, cooperative members, and agricultural extension officers in the province.

During the training course, participants gained a better understanding of digital transformation. This included in-depth study of digital transformation in agriculture , through information related to the roadmap for implementing digital transformation, such as solutions for traceability, data collection and analysis in crop and livestock farming, and proposing appropriate adjustments.

*The training course commenced on the morning of May 22nd in Phan Thiet City.*

The trainees also gained information on multi-channel sales solutions with diverse payment methods, supporting the connection between sellers and buyers. In addition, the instructors conveyed to the trainees the government's policies and the agricultural sector's direction on digital transformation. The goal is to regularly access relevant, green, clean, and focused information in the future, developing and enhancing knowledge for officials. For businesses, cooperatives, and individuals, this knowledge can be applied to production, increasing economic income for families and society.

According to the Provincial Agricultural Extension Center, with the support of the UNDP program, the Center has developed a software for production logs and carbon footprint tracking for dragon fruit products. After a pilot implementation period at four cooperatives, positive results have been achieved. Currently, the Provincial Agricultural Extension Center has developed the "Production Management and Traceability Software for the Crop Production Sector" to implement an electronic log and traceability model for all crop production products. This aims to support producers in accessing markets, enhancing product value, and promoting digital transformation in the province's agriculture sector.
