More efforts will be made to turn science, technology and innovation into a breakthrough to strongly develop Vietnam's agricultural economy; transform to a green and environmentally sustainable growth model; and improve productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness of the industry.

At the same time, it will create conditions for enterprises and economic sectors to participate in research, complete technology and transfer or purchase technology inside and outside the country.

It is based on the Vietnamese practice of ancestor worship and dates back to the period of the 18 Hung kings who ruled northern Vietnam from 2879-258 BCE.
