OUR PURPOSE
To introduce best practices for sustainably improving
crop yields and quality for fruits and vegetable farming
via the establishment of an experimental farm in
Lamdong province. The farm will demonstrate best
practices and provide education and will measure the
impact on local farmers in terms of yields and quality.
Initial focus will be on potato, if the model is successful
it can be replicated and scaled up for other crops and
locations.

New Development and ChallengeNew Development and Challenge
- Registration: long process; hard to apply new, and advanced varieties or products in to Agriculture to tackle the challenge of supply chain, i.e lower the cost (can we leverage the test results from other countries where it applicable to our country?)
- Seed technology: provide advanced variety as well as low cost seeds to farmers locally (Government supports)

LOCAL POTATO VOLUME GROWTH
- Exploring potatoes exportation to nearby countries – No available CIPC (sprout inhibitors) prevent stored potatoes exportation
- The dry season in Vietnam is also a good season on nearby countries
