Determinants Influencing Vietnamese Farmers’ Intention in Applying New Technologies in Agricultural Farming

Abstract

This paper used survey data from 273 farmers planting fruit trees in 23 provinces to assess the impact of some factors on the intention of applying new technologies to agricultural production of Vietnamese farmers. Research results have identified and measured a number of factors that have a positive impact and some negative factors hinder farmers' intention to apply new technologies. These findings are the basis to recommend policies and solutions to promote Vietnamese farmers to apply new technologies.
