VIETNAM - 175 - Nguyen Thi Thuy Senior Expert Membership and Training Department Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry Hanoi PRODUCTION AND TRADING OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS, AND PROBLEMS FACING AGRIBUSINESS ENTERPRISES IN VIETNAM After 15 years of restructuring, the socio-economic situation of Vietnam has undergone many positive changes. Agricultural production and trade, in particular, has attained relatively strong growth and now contributes an important share of the national economy. In the year 2000, the total volume of agriculture increased by 4.9 percent compared with the target of 3.5-4.0 percent. Agriculture continues to achieve good results in foodgrain production, the breeding, planting and cultivation of nut-trees, the development of the farming sector, preserving and expanding forestry production, and fisheries production. The agriculture sector accounts for 25 percent of total annual exports (the major commodities are rice, coffee, rubber, tea, fruit, seafood, pepper and cashew nuts), thus playing an important role in the export extension strategy of Vietnam. Rice Rice is the main food commodity of Vietnam. In recent years, the agriculture sector of Vietnam has recorded great achievements. From being an importer of foodgrains, Vietnam is now not only self-sufficient but has also built up national reserves. Also, in recent years, Vietnam has been exporting large quantities of food. However, apart from advantageous elements that have made possible the intensive development of agriculture, the sector in general and rice in particular still face big challenges that include: (a) many difficulties, ranging from inadequate and outdated infrastructure to the lack of processing technology, which hamper production. The development strategy and policy regarding such aspects as financial, marketing and export support do not correspond with the scale of demand and development trends; (b) extensive demand for training that will provide employment opportunities for the rural workforce. Rural labor accounts for 75 percent of the national workforce, but those who receive specialized training only account for 15 percent of the total skilled labor of the country; (c) a relatively small portion of rural land is suitable for agriculture, thus making extensive application of modern technology very difficult; (d) poor and inadequate infrastructure and transportation; (e) low capacity for post-harvest processing; (f) poor availability of consistently high-quality seeds; and (g) a lack of modern equipment, requiring farmers to largely resort to manual labor and resulting in low harvest output. In some cases, harvested rice is of very poor quality.
