Project Budget: $109,849Project Duration: 01/01/2008 - 30/06/2008ACIAR Research Program Manager Dr T K Lim Project Background and Objectives The north-western provinces of Vietnam are characterised by upland agricultural systems, relatively high levels of poverty and high ethnic diversity. Although many large donor organisations are targeting these poorer provinces with community-based development projects, so far only limited research results suited to the region's agroecological and socioeconomic conditions are available to provide farmers with options for improved practices. This study will investigate the constraints and potentials for improvement of the agricultural sector, including enterprise diversity, crop and livestock production systems, and marketing mechanisms for these remote, culturally diverse communities. The outcomes will assist planning for a coherent set of mutually supporting research activities to aid the advancement of the north-western region.
