Born and raised in a farming family, Nung ethnic man Hoang Van Canh currently works at Loc Ninh Rubber One Member Limited Liability Company (Vietnam Rubber Industry Group) in Loc Ninh commune, Dong Nai province. As a professional specialist of the Construction Investment Management Department and Secretary of the Company's Youth Union, he is known by many people for successfully applying the solution "Building a sustainable forest management map system at Loc Ninh Rubber Company" and successfully building and deploying the model "Application of artificial intelligence and digital technology in Youth Union work".
Digitize from paper maps
After graduating from Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry, Mr. Hoang Van Canh (born in 1990) started working at Loc Ninh Rubber One Member Limited Liability Company in 2015. During his work, he realized that most of the land management data was still done manually on paper. Realizing the potential of technology, he boldly proposed and built a digital map system applying GIS technology for all of the Company's more than 10,000 hectares of production land. The digital map not only simply shows the boundaries but also integrates detailed information about tree age, growth, productivity, etc. This helps the company's leaders easily monitor the details of each plot of land and each rubber garden right at the office; thereby optimizing management, production and planning.
Sharing about his initiative, Mr. Hoang Van Canh said: “Through the process of working and learning about the profession, I realized that the field I am in charge of has some issues that need to be improved. After researching and learning, I have implemented the digitization of all paper maps onto the software system. From this system, I can update annual inventory information such as planting year, variety, lot, planting supply and total number of trees in each lot on the software. From that software system, we can create many different thematic maps. For example, orchard planning maps, liquidation and replanting planning maps, orchard status maps, and company variety distribution maps in teams”.
Currently, with the growing demand for technology and increasingly strict requirements for tracing the origin of goods from the European market, digital maps have become a powerful tool. “From digital maps, we provide and demonstrate clear legal documents on the origin of the garden, ensuring that there is no deforestation for rubber plantations. At the same time, we can trace the origin of each shipment down to each latex tapping batch, each batch of raw latex supply, helping to make the goods more transparent and meet high European standards,” Mr. Canh shared.

In the near future, Mr. Canh also has some ideas about applying technology in orchard management, especially using satellite images to monitor changes. Specifically, Mr. Canh wants to use satellite images to monitor the liquidation and replanting process and also monitor the health of the orchard through in-depth analysis.
Ms. Vu Thi Thuy Trang, Chairman of the Trade Union of Loc Ninh Rubber Company, highly appreciated the contribution of Mr. Hoang Van Canh. She said: “It can be said that Canh is a typical young man of the company. Although he has just started working, Canh has made great efforts in his work and has many initiatives and solutions that have been applied in practice, bringing many advantages to the company in management work. In particular, Canh has proposed and successfully applied the digitization of maps in the company's management. This brings many benefits, especially in technical management and agricultural management in the garden”. The digitization of maps helps the company's leaders access the garden area more conveniently. From that convenience, the management of varieties, land and product traceability using new technology will become easier. Thanks to that, we can improve product quality, enhance brand and product reputation in the market, and at the same time help the company access many international markets according to global standards.
Improving digital capacity, innovating Union activities
Mr. Hoang Van Canh is also an exemplary youth leader in the role of Secretary of the Company's Youth Union. He is bold in innovating Youth Union activities and applying digital technology in the unit. In 2024, Mr. Canh implemented the initiative "Flexible application of digital technology and artificial intelligence in Youth Union work and youth movements at Loc Ninh Rubber Company". This initiative has brought about clear results, helping to raise awareness of youth union members about the 4.0 technology revolution, helping union members access the application of technology in both Youth Union work and professional work, contributing to the completion of assigned tasks, reducing operating costs and improving the effectiveness of propaganda and education work.
He shared: “Regarding the work of the Youth Union, in the era of digital technology 4.0, there are many convenient technology applications that can be deployed. For example, artificial intelligence technology can help create programs, plans and scenarios quickly. From AI software, I myself have flexibly applied some online game applications for children to have fun in extracurricular activities such as: Mid-Autumn Festival, children's commendation sessions, holidays... to attract and create excitement".

In particular, Mr. Hoang Van Canh is not only the pride of the Youth Union, but also makes the Union and the Company very excited to have such an outstanding and outstanding cadre, worker and union member.
In early 2025, Mr. Hoang Van Canh was nominated by the Company's Trade Union as an Outstanding Vietnamese Rubber Worker.
