Soil nutrient measurement and consulting technology is a product of Technology Company Limited. Agriculture Farming. The origins of the platform came from a handshake between urban planning expert Nguyen Do Dung and environmental science doctor Ho Long Phi.
Enfarm is with farmers 24 hours a day.
Nguyen Do Dung, co-founder and managing director of enfarm, expressed confidence and pride in the existing technology. The technology helps farmers become agricultural experts with a thorough understanding of their soil.
They have a firm belief in the smart fertilization process as a platform connecting farmers with markets and an important solution for increasing farmers’ income. At the same time, it ensures environmentally friendly and sustainable agricultural development.
Mr. In his conversation with us, Dung shared his concerns about soil, fertilizers, green agriculture and sustainable development. teens online.
Enfarm is researching and developing smart fertilizer technology equipment solutions that combine the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI). Currently, Enfarm produces two types of equipment: portable sets and equipment sets for farms of more than 10 hectares.
Enpharm is focusing on research and development of smart fertilizer technology equipment solutions by combining the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI).
talking numbers
– Fertilizers account for: 35% Agricultural costs to farmers (according to USDS, Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, 2022).
– 60 % The amount of fertilizer used is not absorbed by the plants (Xing Yu et al., 2022).
– for $12 billion Inefficient fertilization causes waste worldwide (Zion Market Research calculations, 2022).
– 34 % Global cropland area is degraded primarily due to excess fertilizer (Study Gebremedhin et al., 2022).
– 2,6 Gigatons of greenhouse gases are emitted from fertilizers, accounting for 5% of the total global greenhouse gases (Gao and Serrenho study, 2023).
The device integrates sensors to collect information and is embedded deep in the ground. Recorder – Sends data to a server system every 15 minutes.
AI is responsible for assessing criteria for four components: soil, water, plants, and fertilizer. From there, we provide specific solutions, complete over the phone, including what fertilizer to apply, how much to apply, when to apply it, and how much to water.
“We leverage machine learning and user data to transform sensor signals into NPK metrics. The accuracy is the same as in the laboratory,” said Dung.
However, land availability in each region may be different. Therefore, the nutritional components also vary. Not to mention the types of plants that grow there are not the same.
These are issues that Enpharm predicted. In order for the device to measure, calculate, and make accurate diagnoses and recommendations, everything must be based on a scientific foundation and the huge data warehouse that Enpharm has been collecting and building for a long time.
Enfarm can correct soil characteristics and perennial industrial crops such as coffee, durian and dragon fruit, which are widely grown in Vietnam.
It is a Vietnamese technology produced by the Vietnamese people and is the only technology that provides advice to Vietnamese farmers to date. This is also the reason why many people liken Enpharm to ‘an AI doctor who accompanies farmers 24 hours a day.’

Increases the economic value of agricultural products despite low prices.
Mr. Dung is proud that very new and different features have been successfully integrated into enfarm as they can provide essential advice to help farmers increase their income.
This is real data on 1,000 hectares of coffee collected by Enfarm from 2 cooperatives and 10 farms. Đắk Lắk. The result is a 50% increase in productivity with the same or up to 20% less fertilizer, AI pest diagnostics, and market price predictions.
“Increasing productivity by 20% for the same investment cost can bring a lot of money to the gardener. On the other hand, if the land environment improves, it will be less polluted, greener and will give the world a different perspective on Vietnamese agricultural products,” said Mr. Dung.
Enfarm also integrates a variety of uses, including weather forecasting, providing information on humidity, pH, irrigation levels and plant health, and farm management.
NPK measures 7 soil indicators, including 3 indicators including fertilizer, moisture, pH, conductivity, and temperature, and reports them to the host phone.
In addition, Enfarm can even identify pests and diseases using AI. Specifically, all you have to do is take a photo of a tree’s leaves and stem, and the application will tell you what pests and diseases the tree is facing and how to deal with them. This is one of the positive things created by Vietnam’s own technology.
In the future, farmers will be able to use this tool to register green, clean and organic farming certificates.
Products from different countries in the same line with similar features are available at reasonable prices: 1.500 USD (China), 3.000 USD (USA), 9.000 USD (Malaysia).
Enfarm alone rents equipment for approximately 5.1 million VND/ha per year. In return, you will get information about three soil indicators, including NPK fertilizers, moisture, pH, conductivity and temperature.
