Technical transformations in rice production: Uneven gains across Vietnam

Research output: Other contributionLongreads, DIIS Q&A, DIIS Interview and DIIS BlogCommunication

Abstract

In-depth interviews with farmers in rice-producing areas of central Vietnam illustrate uneven gains in technical developments across the country. Farmers in the central regions are witnessing widespread mechanisation and novel technical solutions in large-scale rice producing areas in the Mekong Delta. Despite gains in Central provinces, where small combine harvesters have become the norm over the last 10 years, smallholder farmers still feel they are lagging behind.
