Agriculture, Flowers, and Biotechnology
Speaking of agriculture, Da Lat is one of the few cities in the world capable of efficiently cultivating various types of crops, both temperate and tropical, serving as a center for high-tech agriculture with international stature. Among them, the production of flowers and the production of plant tissue culture (In Vitro cultivation) must be mentioned.
Da Lat is considered the leading fresh flower production center in the country. Flower production is one of the key industries with great development potential, playing an important role in promoting the economic development of the agricultural sector in Lam Dong province.
Lam Dong province is at the forefront of applying biotechnology, especially tissue culture technology for plant breeding. Da Lat accounts for 83.4% of the province's production, with 60 million seedlings produced annually. In addition to accelerating the supply of high-quality seeds for domestic production, Lam Dong's tissue culture facilities have gradually increased their capacity and exported seeds to markets in countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, Indonesia, China, Japan, and Israel.
