VIETNAM (cont.)

Although food production in Vietnam hasincreased continuously in recent years, riceconsumption per capita has been falling. In 2006food consumption per capita was 136.8 kg,down to 116.4 kg in 2010.

Vietnam rice export has increasingly asserted itsposition in the global market. Currently, Vietnamis the second largest rice exporter afterThailand. In 2005, Vietnam exported 5.25 milliontons, and 6.88 million tons in 2010 and 7.11million tons in 2012.


15/17

III. CONCLUSIONS

Food production in Vietnam has achieveda great success in recent years. However,food security is still limited; especiallyaccess to food is still limited and unequal.

Due to the limited ability to access to foodof the households in practice today, about11.76% households in Vietnam are still

poor and over 20% of children under 5year old are malnourished.


16/17

III. CONCLUSIONS

The average consumption of food is still

low compared with other countries the

world.

There is about a small part of population

with low food consumption of less than

2100 kcal per day, uncertainty and

disparities between regions, between

urban and rural areas.
