The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) will continue to assist northern mountainous areas of Vietnam in the research of improved rice varieties and other support programmes to ensure food security.
FAO Chief Representative in Vietnam Andrew Speedy made the pledge at a review meeting on the two-year implementation of a project on building capacity for mountainous farmers to produce high quality seeds of conventional rice varieties in Phu Tho on October 17.
With a FAO-provided finance of US$257,000, the project has been implemented by the Northern Mountainous Agriculture and Forestry Science Institute since October 2007 in eight communes of 8 districts of four provinces of Ha Giang, Bac Kan, Yen Bai and Phu Tho.
The focus is on building capacity for researchers, agricultural facilitators, local authorities and farmers, transferring farming methods to improve the yield and quality of crops as well as preservation measures and providing technical assistance and production tools.
