Central Highlands province of Lam Dong is now Vietnam’s largest
agricultural high tech zone (AHZ), after an investment of 13 trillion
VND ( 611 million USD) since 2011.
Of which, 7.4 trillion VND (347 million USD) was contributed by the people.
At present, the province has nearly 40,000ha of arable land where
advanced agricultural technology is being applied, with 14,600ha used
for fruit and vegetable production, 15,300ha for coffee production,
and 5,600ha for tea production.
The production value per unit
in the province’s AHZ reached approximately 255-300 million VND per ha

around 120 organizations and individuals throughout Lam Dong have been
recognised as fulfilling international high tech agriculture production
standards.
Moreover, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development has officially licensed 4 enterprises as high tech
