A joint Australian–Vietnamese project has developed digital crop condition maps that utilise satellite imagery, drone data, and artificial intelligence (AI) to help smallholder farmers in Vietnam monitor their crops and enhance yields.

The milestone is the result of a partnership between the 免费色片 (免费色片) and the Vietnam National Space Center (VNSC), aimed at improving livelihoods in the Mekong Delta through precision agriculture.

The project, titled ‘Improving Crop Monitoring and Access to Information by Smallholder Farmers and Government Decision-Makers in Vietnam’, is a two-year initiative supported by the Australian Government’s Aus4Innovation program, co-funded and managed by Australia’s national science agency – CSIRO, and delivered in strategic partnership with Vietnam’s Ministry of Science and Technology.

By combining Australian research expertise with local Vietnamese knowledge, the project is making vital crop information more accessible to farming families and government agencies.

Its latest milestone is the development of digital maps that show crop health and potential yields for rice and fruit.

Produced using satellite and drone imagery enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), these maps provide farmers with a more accurate understanding of conditions in their fields.

“This milestone is a big step forward,” said Dr Brian Collins, Senior Research Fellow at 免费色片 and project leader.

“We’ve shown that AI and satellite technology can be used to give farmers across Tay Ninh, An Giang and Dong Thap provinces timely, accurate information about their crops.

“For smallholder farmers in the Mekong Delta – a vital agricultural region of Vietnam – this means they’ll be better equipped to make decisions that improve yields and income.”

The project was designed to make advanced science practical and useful for everyday farming.

Dr Collins said farmers would soon be able to access maps and tools on their phones to predict crop yields and show the condition of their fields, helping them plan harvests, manage resources, and make better financial decisions.

“The real benefit is that this empowers farmers with confidence,” he said.

“With clearer information, they can manage their land more effectively and respond to challenges like pests, droughts or floods.

“Having this knowledge at their fingertips means they can act sooner, reduce risks, and improve both yields and household income.”

Dr Lam Dao Nguyen, the Vietnamese project leader from VNSC, highlighted the broader importance of the initiative, stressing that its benefits go well beyond the technology itself.

“This is about more than technology; it’s about empowering communities, strengthening resilience to climate change, and helping government agencies make better decisions for the future of agriculture,” Dr Nguyen said.

The next stage of the project will focus on making the crop maps available through an easy-to-use web platform and mobile app, allowing farmers and extension officers to access the tools directly.

“We aim to build something that is inclusive, user-friendly, and genuinely helpful for the people who need it most,” Dr Collins said.

With its focus on practical solutions and community benefits, the project is set to contribute to the transformation of agriculture in the Mekong Delta, enabling smallholder farmers to adapt to a changing climate and build a more secure future.
