Famous names in the market include Keppel Land and CapitaLand, with the first high-end real estate projects in the country such as The Estella and The Vista. The total supply of high-end apartments in Ho Chi Minh City as at the end of 2007, at approximately 1,700 units, of which about 1,000 units were from FDI projects, was a very small proportion compared to the city's population of 6.85 million at that time. “Since the market share of FDI projects is not high, the average price of high-end primary stocks in 2007 was at US$2,800 per sq m (at an exchange rate of VND16,112), representing an increase of 86 percent compared with sales launches in the previous year,” according to Khanh Nguyen, Associate Director, Capital Markets of Vietnam, at JLL.  “This created a supply-demand imbalance that pushed prices beyond the affordability of homebuyers with real demand.

Digital technology is indeed being used in agriculture but is insufficiently widespread. The application of digital technology in agriculture varies greatly in Vietnam. In some sectors, digital technologies are used everywhere, while in others there is still much possibility for improvement. The dairy sector in Vietnam is a great example of where digital technologies are used. Even small-scale dairy farmers use digital technologies. In other sectors, though, their application remains limited. For example, in the small-scale production of vegetables, spices and fruit, it is not yet common to use digital technologies.  The use of digital technologies in agriculture is a great way to improve farming. There are many benefits and improvement possibilities, for example lower production costs, less waste, less water consumption, and better quality.  In other agricultural sectors, such as vegetable farming, high technologies could also improve the sustainability of farming. For … [Read more...] about Broader digital application needed in agriculture

  The association said shrimp output of major global producers was predicted to reach 3.5 million tonnes in 2018, marking the highest output over the past decade. The increase in world shrimp production was due to the growth in major suppliers such as India, Ecuador, China, Vietnam and Indonesia. In that situation, importers would create pressure to reduce prices, leading to declines on the global and domestic market, it said. Truong Dinh Hoe, VASEP’s general secretary, said the global shrimp supply had risen sharply in the first few months of this year, while shrimp inventories in the US and among local businesses remained high. VASEP reported that the US had a high inventory after US shrimp imports increased by 10 per cent in 2017 and 15 per cent in February this year. The drop in prices hit not only Vietnam but also other shrimp suppliers such as Ecuador, Thailand and Indonesia, causing problems for many farmers, Hòe said. Nguyen Thi Hai, a shrimp trader in Binh … [Read more...] about Farmers should reduce areas farming shrimp
