Abstract: Understanding farmers awareness of applied agri-technologies is critically important for policy development, training, xtension, and trade. This study was conducted by a survey of 248 households in 89 villages of 20 communes in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. Farm households were aware of technologies including plant varieties, animal varieties, drip irrigation, sprinkle irrigation, handy irrigation, greenhouses, semi-processing, fertilizer, and chemicals, etc. Most farmers utilized simple technologies because of a long-time adoption, but other new or high technologies were poorly understood by the households. Based on the results, a gap has been identified, and recommendations have been given to policymakers, training organizations, extension, and traders regarding household capacity building, and providing new technologies of farming materials and requirements. Furthermore, understanding farmers’ perceptions can likely help governance regarding the recent goal of net zero emissions in agriculture and land-use section in Vietnam.
