Ten years after its establishment, HCM City's 90ha high-tech agriculture zone has been developed into an economic and technical zone, attracting domestic and international investment and mobilising advanced scientific and technological resources in agricultural production. 

The recognised zones are centralised production areas in which high technologies are applied to produce one or several agricultural goods which ensure high yield, quality and added values and be friendly to the environment, according to the Vietnam Government Portal.

Production and consumption activities are part of the value chain in which enterprises and co-operatives are indispensable.

Applied technologies must be advanced, biological, environmentally-friendly ones that help elevate added values to agricultural products.

The technologies must also be applied on an industrial scale to improve farming effectiveness, raise product values and elevate the productivity.

The hi-tech agricultural zones must have suitable natural conditions and technical infrastructure to facilitate production.

The Municipal and provincial People's Committees of centrally-governed cities and provinces are authorised to decide the recognition of hi-tech agricultural zones.
