Tran Ngoc Hoa Science-Technology and Environment Department, National Assembly Abstract: Science and technology (S&T), with large contributions to agricultural growths in recent time, is considered as breakthrough move in agricultural production. Even with exceptional growths during more than 30 years, Vietnam agriculture really did not develop as its potentials and advantages could make. The question is what to do to make S&T develop and produce more contributions to Vietnam agriculture. This paper shares some solutions of driving nature for S&T development in this sector. Keywords: Science and technology in agriculture; Driving forces for development. Code: 14051601 1. Actual status of science and technology in agriculture of Vietnam . Remarkable achievements of science and technology in agriculture During more than 30 years, S&T made considerable contributions to agriculture growths of Vietnam. It could not only meet domestic consumption needs but also export ones. Actually the export volume of agricultural, sylvicultural and aquacultural products comes up to billion with USD10 billions of export surplus (figures of 2013). Some commodities pass the level of USD1 billions of export volume1. In 20012010, S&T was estimated to have made contributions of 35% of the total growths of agriculture sector, 30-50% of increased values of agricultural products [3]. It also contributed to increase the competitiveness of agricultural products. Some achievements can be listed such as many varieties of high quality and productivity were developed and applied in production. Namely, rice varieties of ton/hectare per crop, corn varieties of 12 ton/hectare per crop, mango varieties of 14 ton/hectare, Holstein Friesian cows of 6,5001 They include: rice (USD3 billions), rubber ( billions), .
