The Department of Agriculture and Environment of Dak Lak Province held a working session with Netafim Group (Israel) to discuss potential cooperation on precision agriculture solutions.
During the meeting, Netafim presented a range of solutions including irrigation and fertigation technologies, crop knowledge systems, integrated services, greenhouse cultivation, and digital tools and platforms. The discussion also covered community-based agriculture initiatives and sustainability measures.
Netafim’s leadership highlighted that effective solutions require detailed field surveys and assessments. Importantly, they emphasized that expert support and knowledge transfer—helping local teams and growers build skills—will be one of the most critical contribution areas, alongside providing equipment and machinery where relevant.
