Queen Farm, a 55-hectare high-tech durian farm in Phuoc Son Commune, is currently cultivating specialty durian varieties, including Dona, Musang King, and Ri6. The farm applies high technology in a coordinated manner across technical processes, operational management, quality management, plant identification record-keeping, and orchard management through electronic maps. Specifically, it uses technologies such as smart irrigation, automatic fertilization, UAV drone remote-sensing technology to help detect and promptly treat pests and diseases, NBIoT, and measuring sensors to control key indicators, and product traceability. In addition, Queen Farm applies advanced processes to produce its own organic microbial fertilizers and microbial technology for green, circular production.

Linh Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Binh Phuoc Ward) is producing and supplying a wide range of machinery for agricultural production. Its products are selling well in provinces and cities across the country and are also exported to several countries in the region, including Laos and Cambodia. The company's products have contributed to mechanizing agricultural production, helping reduce labor, cut costs, and significantly improve production efficiency for farmers.

The program aims to introduce high-tech agricultural models to farmer members, connect with and contribute to forming a value chain from production to consumption and export, and support sustainable development.
