On 12/8, Thanh Thanh Cong - Bien Hoa Joint Stock Company (AgriS) and its ecosystem company, Global Mind Australia (GMA), partnered with the People's Committee of Tay Ninh province to organize the "High-Tech Agriculture Promotion Conference" in Queensland, Australia. The event, themed "Promoting High-Tech and Sustainable Agriculture", marked a step forward in fostering multilateral cooperation in high-tech agriculture between the two countries, with AgriS playing a key bridging role.

Nguyen Minh Lam, Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the Tay Ninh Provincial People's Committee, emphasized Tay Ninh's desire to learn from Australia's advanced agriculture, particularly in efficient water resource management, modern farming techniques, and sustainable development strategies. "Our goal is to create a green, smart, and circular agricultural model in the near future, bringing high added value to agricultural products and improving people's lives," he said.

Dang Huynh Uc My, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of AgriS, stated that the conference benefited from strategic collaboration with the Tay Ninh provincial government and the state of Queensland, along with support from the Queensland Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ). "This support provides a solid foundation for AgriS to continue its mission of promoting high-tech agriculture, research, development, and technology transfer, while acting as a bridge in agricultural trade relations between the two countries," she said.

According to Ms. My, Queensland, Australia, is a leading global agricultural science center, with diverse climates, fertile land, and outstanding research and development capabilities. Tay Ninh province, a long-standing partner in AgriS's development, is a major agricultural and industrial center in southern Vietnam, possessing abundant resources and significant development potential. Tay Ninh province and AgriS share a common vision with Queensland for smart and sustainable agricultural innovation.

In Australia, AgriS and its ecosystem company, Global Mind Australia (GMA), are implementing several collaborative projects with Queensland agricultural technology partners to promote research, technology transfer, and commercialization. Key activities include: collaborating with Farmacist on agricultural solutions for the sugarcane industry and developing a farmer service management platform; partnering with Mort&Co to build a circular agriculture model to improve soil health; working with AgroVision AG on drone farming technology and liquid fertilizer production from by-products; and collaborating with Main Engineering on the research, development, and production of high-tech agricultural equipment in Tay Ninh.

These partnerships are expected to promote the development of high-tech, sustainable agriculture and facilitate the transfer of advanced technology between Australia and Vietnam in general, and between Queensland and Tay Ninh province in particular. Furthermore, the activities aim to expand connections with Southeast Asian countries, where AgriS serves as a strategic bridge. Through coordination with GMA, connections with Vietnamese scientists working in Australia will also be strengthened, contributing to the effective application of scientific and technological achievements in sustainable agricultural development in Vietnam.

Ms. Dang Huynh Uc My shared that AgriS not only affirms its leading position in the high-tech agriculture sector but also commits to acting as a strategic bridge in promoting agricultural cooperation between Vietnam and Australia, with the goal of implementing a "5 houses" cooperation model based on the three pillars of AgTech, FoodTech, and FinTech. "We aspire to develop smart, sustainable agriculture and create long-term value for the community," she affirmed.

AgriS is a leading high-tech agricultural corporation in Vietnam, headquartered in Tay Ninh province. The company aims to become a leading provider of high-tech agricultural solutions in the region, deeply involved in the global food and beverage value chain. This is achieved through developing a circular trade value chain model, integrating three technological pillars: agriculture (Agtech), food (Foodtech), and finance (Fintech) on the ESG platform. AgriS currently owns a circular agricultural value chain ecosystem with nearly 91,000 hectares of sugarcane and 30,000 hectares of coconut in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Australia.

AgriS began investing in Australia in 2022, strategically focusing on Queensland and establishing extensive partnerships with DPI, TIQ, and the state's agricultural technology ecosystem. In the Agtech field, AgriS has built the Agritech Hub platform to promote technology transfer and commercialization between Australia and Southeast Asia following the "One Platform - Multi Country" model, currently deployed at three model farms in Australia, Vietnam, and Cambodia with a total area of 3,200 hectares, of which 2,500 hectares are in Australia. In the Foodtech segment, the company invested 1.5 million AUD in East Forged (Brisbane) to research and develop natural cold brew tea products, contributing to product diversification and increasing value chain.
