Study Mission on Improvement of Productivity in Greenhouse Vegetable Production

With the support of a special cash grant from the Government of Japan, the APO initiated a demonstration farm project in October 2022 on Improvement of Productivity in Greenhouse Vegetable Production. This project aims to demonstrate microclimate control systems used by Japanese greenhouses and help farmers in Vietnam utilize the systems. This will promote labor productivity and sustainability in vegetable production in Vietnam. The Garden Mountain Joint Stock Company was selected as a demonstration company under the project.

Study missions are conducted for the beneficiaries to understand the mechanisms of control and microclimate data collection and analysis by referring to selected farms and plant factories in Japan. The first study mission was held from 8 to 10 February 2023, and participants learned about and observed best practices before installing microclimate control systems. The system was installed after the mission and is currently in operation. This project is the second study mission after the installation of the equipment where participants consider how they could enhance the use of microclimate controls in greenhouses. They will also learn about additional systems in Japan.
