Abstract:
In the context of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), the development of high-tech agriculture has become an indispensable development trend to address the challenges which the agriculture is facing. To develop the high-tech agriculture in the current context, promoting the linkage between enterprises and farmers plays an especially important role. Enterprises and farmers are two important links in the linkage among “the parties” in the development of high-tech agriculture and in the value chain of high-tech agricultural products. Among them, enterprises play a central role, and are the “motive force” to lead farmers and farmers’ representative organizations in the value chain of agricultural products. Farmers are the forces that directly produce high-tech agricultural products, especially produce in accordance with the standards to meet market requirements. Based on the reference to experiences in high-tech agriculture development in some countries throughout the world and based on the current linkage between enterprises and farmers in high-tech agriculture development in Vietnam today, the author proposes some solutions to promote the linkage between enterprises and farmers to develop high-tech agriculture in Vietnam nowadays.
