Vietnam’s agriculture sector is entering a period in which technology is playing a growing role in improving productivity, supporting more sustainable production and helping producers access international markets. Although agriculture remains an important part of Vietnam’s economy and supports millions of people, many farmers still grapple with issues such as volatile weather, rising production costs, labour shortages and stringent export regulations. For this reason, agritech innovations in Vietnam are moving out of the experimental phase. Startups are now developing technologies that address financing, farm management, irrigation, aquaculture and controlled-environment agriculture.
Investor interest is also becoming more visible. Although the ecosystem remains relatively young, the combination of investment interest and Vietnam’s agricultural scale is creating a stronger foundation for the next generation of agricultural technology.
We explore why Vietnam’s private capital rebound needs more than investor optimism
TechCoop
TechCoop has emerged as one of Vietnam’s more prominent agritech companies because it addresses problems at all stages of the agricultural value chain instead of just one specific farm technology. It connects agriculture SMEs, cooperatives and farmers with funding, technologies, traceability and market access, which enables them to engage more effectively in both domestic and export-oriented supply chains. Access to finance remains a significant challenge for smaller agricultural businesses, making TechCoop’s combination of technology, financing and market access particularly relevant. TechCoop integrates digital technologies with financial solutions, making it easier for smaller firms to upgrade production processes and connect with bigger markets.
The company attracted significant attention in February 2025 when it secured a US$28 million Series A equity investment, alongside US$42 million in debt financing, bringing the total financing package to US$70 million. The capital is being used to strengthen its technology platform, agricultural supply chains and export infrastructure. This remains one of Southeast Asia’s largest recent agritech funding rounds.
Enfarm
Enfarm is tackling smart farming in Vietnam starting from the soil up. It has created real-time soil nutrient sensors to enable farmers to make precise decisions in fertilisation, irrigation and crop management.
The sensors monitor indicators such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, pH levels, moisture, temperature and electrical conductivity. The data is fed into digital tools that provide AI-powered recommendations, helping farmers understand what their crops need rather than relying solely on conventional practices. This is critical because inefficient usage of fertilisers and water not only increases expenses but also leads to the degradation of the soil and puts additional pressure on the environment. Enfarm says its technology can help improve yields while reducing fertiliser use. This makes precision agriculture commercially relevant as well as environmentally beneficial.
MimosaTEK
MimosaTEK is another established company operating in Vietnam’s precision agriculture sector by utilising IoT technologies to provide farmers access to real-time information about the environment and crop conditions. The company creates connected systems for irrigation and nutrient management, enabling farmers to continuously monitor conditions such as moisture, temperature, humidity and crop needs. MimosaTEK’s IoT system can automate the process of irrigation while providing farmers with the necessary information about the quantities of water and fertilisers that need to be used.
Its strength lies in its practical approach to farm management. Instead of forcing farmers to change their entire business model to adapt to innovations, IoT sensors and automatic irrigation systems can gradually introduce data-based decision-making into existing farming practices. Its work demonstrates how precision agriculture can move beyond pilot programmes and become part of day-to-day farm management.
Tepbac
While most agritech startups focus on traditional farming activities, Tepbac focuses on aquaculture, a particularly important sector for Vietnam. The company employs software, IoT devices and farm-management technologies that help shrimp and fish farmers manage their operations. The Farmext system allows farmers to manage operations remotely, monitor variables such as oxygen concentration and automate aspects of farm management.
Aquaculture is especially well suited for the use of technological solutions for monitoring because the condition of the water can change rapidly and directly influence the yield. Tepbac’s approach allows farmers to respond to these changes quickly while reducing labour costs associated with farm management. The company also developed an e-commerce system that connects shrimp farmers with input providers, illustrating how agritech can extend far beyond monitoring and into supply-chain management as well.
Hachi
Hachi represents another direction in Vietnam’s agritech sector: controlled-environment agriculture. Hachi specialises in developing agricultural technologies in areas such as greenhouses, hydroponics, organic cultivation and indoor agriculture. Controlled-environment facilities enable farmers to better control elements like temperature, humidity, irrigation and lighting.
Hachi says it has delivered more than 250 greenhouse projects across Vietnam. The company also exports greenhouse solutions to markets including Australia, Thailand, Laos and the United States. Its projects span hydroponic farms, indoor smart farms and advanced greenhouse systems, demonstrating how Vietnamese agritech companies are increasingly looking beyond the domestic market.
Can agritech move beyond pilots?
The growing number of Vietnamese agritech startups reflects a market with significant potential, but adoption remains the bigger test. Developing a sensor, software platform or automated farming system is only the first step. Startups must make these solutions affordable, easy to operate and scalable across farms with widely varying levels of scale, technical capability and financial resources.
That challenge is becoming more urgent as climate change, rising productivity demands and increasingly stringent export requirements put additional pressure on Vietnamese agriculture. These forces are strengthening the case for technologies that can improve efficiency, traceability and resilience.
Ultimately, the companies worth watching may not be those with the most sophisticated technology, but those that can put finance, data, market access and productivity tools within reach of farmers at commercially viable prices. As climate pressures and export requirements intensify, the real test for Vietnam’s agritech sector will be whether these technologies can become part of everyday farming rather than remaining confined to demonstration projects.
