enfarm Agritech

Enfarm Agritech is a Vietnamese agriculture technology company founded in 2023 by Nguyen Do Dung and Ho Long Phi. Nguyen Do Dung, with a background in regional planning, and Ho Long Phi, an expert in water resource management, established the firm to address the challenges farmers face from a lack of data-driven cultivation methods. The company's mission is to leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve farmer livelihoods and promote sustainable agriculture.

The core of Enfarm's business is its proprietary soil sensing technology that provides real-time, lab-precision data on soil conditions. The system, which launched in December 2022, integrates IoT sensors with an AI-powered mobile application to deliver actionable recommendations on fertilizer and water use. It measures seven key soil indicators: pH, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), temperature, humidity, and electrical conductivity (EC). This technology is designed to help farmers optimize resource use, reduce costs, and increase crop yields. Field trials on coffee farms in Vietnam's Central Highlands demonstrated a 30% reduction in fertilizer use while simultaneously increasing yields by 30%. The primary clients are smallholder farmers, initially focusing on coffee and durian growers in southern Vietnam.

The business model centers on selling its smart nutrient monitoring system, the Enfarm Smart IoT set. The company has received an undisclosed amount of seed funding from investors including Touchstone Partners, AiViet Venture, and Conservation Vietnam. Enfarm aims to expand its technology to other crops and enter broader ASEAN markets. Future plans include creating a complete agricultural ecosystem by supplying tailored fertilizers, offering financial assistance, and providing market access for farmers' products. The company also plans to offer certification services for clean produce and help farmers generate income from carbon credits.
