Hà Nội boosts use of drones in agriculture production

HÀ NỘI — Many districts and co妹妹unes in Hà Nội have actively promoted the use of drones in agriculture production – the first step in boosting hi-tech farming and joining the global farm produce supply chain for the spring  二0 二 三 crop.

The Nicotex Hanoi joint stock company has introduced to farmers in Sơn Tây Town and Thạch Thất and Mỹ Đức districts a three-in-one drone which can spread seeds, fertilisers and spray pesticides.

The drone can spread seeds over four hectares of land in one hour and pesticides over  四0 hectares per day in good weather conditions.

The use of drones will significantly save labour and cut the amount of pesticides used.

This is expected to improve the awareness of farmers about the application of technology in agricultural production, helping to increase the productivity and the quality of the crops. — VNS
