The participants discussed a number of issues such as energy and agricultural machinery, post-harvest technologies, bio-energies and other non-traditional energies, information technology in agriculture and issues related to policy and management. 

Like many other countries around the world, Vietnam’s agricultural sector is facing a lot of difficulties in production, including a low level of mechanization. Thus, it is essential for the country to increase the application of scientific and technological advances in agriculture, especially in agricultural engineering and bio-systems, specialists said. 

The seminar gave Vietnamese scientists and others the chance to exchange ideas on how to develop bio-systems, look at how to access agricultural machinery and seek research partners.
