Abstract. Previous studies have highlighted relationships between socioeconomic factors and farmers’ participation in agricultural development program but have not found it under minority people contexts. The aim of the study is to quantify the participation levels of minority households and identify the determinants of their participation in farm development policies and programs (FDPAP). Methods. To achieve this, both primary and secondary sources of data are used. The data are gathered through survey 438 farmers from the 5 most populous ethnic groups (namely Jarai, Bahnar, E De, Tay, and Nung) in 10 communes and towns in 8 districts of study area by a questionnaire that was designed on a five-point Likert scale. Content analysis is used to determine the participation extent to which the research model includes five groups of factors (Perception of the householder about the farm economy; Mechanisms and policies of the government/state agency on agriculture; Household characteristics; Economic benefits; Production capacity) corresponded to the identified 24 criteria. Results. The findings indicate that their participation is only at a manipulative or passive level. The main factors tending to deter their participation are households’ characteristics and production capacity. In contrast, specific policies and tangible economic benefits are the factors that motivate them to participate more deeply. Scientific novelty lies in reliable information on the livelihoods and culture of minority farmers based on these results, plays an extremely important role in the success of agricultural policies as public officials push to integrate them into the national agenda.
The real context of climate change and pandemic has emphasized the enormous significance of agriculture to society and paved a path to digitization. Each country's agricultural digitalization strategies must not only focus on the technological aspects of the production system but as well present an overview of how this field of study is establishing and developing. To address this issue, a research was carried out to identify priority research questions concerning digital agriculture in Viet Nam, but with a view to also informing international contexts. The study applied a combination of methods including descriptive statistics, review of related researches reflecting the application of digital technology in agriculture, as well as systematic and institutional approaches to create the conditions for the development of digital agriculture. Concurrently, taking into account the readiness limitation of economic actors' for digital transformation is also presented in this study. Viet Nam is in the early stages of digital transformation in agriculture. Digital readiness is critical to grasping and implementing existing technologies and transforming agriculture. In order for the digital transformation to come into play in a positive way, the institutional decisions of the authorities are crucial to the major challenges facing Viet Nam's agriculture, such as digital inequalities, human resources, financial, and infrastructure constraints and inadequate awareness of existing technologies.
