The development objective of the Sustainable Agriculture Transformation Project for Vietnam is to improve farming practices and value chains in the targeted project areas, and promote institutional strengthening of relevant public agencies to effectively support implementation of the agricultural restructuring plan. The project comprises of four components. The first component, institutional strengthening to support agricultural transformation will support three activities: (a) capacity development for ministry of agriculture and rural development (MARD); (b) capacity development for the provincial level; and (c) capacity strengthening for value chain partners. The second component, supporting sustainable rice-based systems will support some 30 key rice producing districts in eight Mekong Delta (MKD) provinces in a cluster approach. It will consist of three activities: (a) supporting a large-scale program on improved agronomic practices and management; (b) supporting private sector investments in upgrading rice processing technology and facilities for high value and quality rice; and (c) improving public services delivery. The third component, supporting sustainable coffee production and rejuvenation will support the transformation of a substantial portion of Vietnam’s coffee sector to sustainable practices. This component has three activities: (a) supporting an intensive coffee program on improved farm agronomic and management practices; (b) supporting sustainable coffee rejuvenation and replanting; and (c) improving public services delivery.
