Information Center for Agriculture and Rural Development Connecting research to practice
The agricultural sector of Vietnam is integrating into the world economy characterized by new orders of competition, technology and quality. In this increasingly challenged environment, information is the basis for the success of every actors from policy makers, business communities and even each farmer. Currently, information provision in the field of agricultural and rural development in Vietnam posed new challenges and contradictories.
The fast changing in IT technology versus slow adoption in agricultural practice;
The bias toward too much investment in hardware installation versus little consideration in software development;
The rising number of private sector in providing valuable information to targeted buyers with service charge versus the sluggishness of public agencies in providing out of dated information to the mass;
Too much information on technology versus few on market outlook;
Full of daily news versus lack of information in tendency and commentaries;
Passive information provision versus active information provision.
The vision of AGROINFO is to become a well-known and reliable institution providing consistent, useful and timely information to support different stakeholders such as farmers, leadership, expertise, business sector. Within the ministry, its target is to provide policy-makers the strategic and policy advisory information which are vital to the overall formulation, awareness and acceptance of MARD's programs and policies, and serves as the principal IPSARD contact point for the dissemination information.
