German Cooperation has been supporting Viet Nam to restructure its agriculture sector to ensure sustainable rural development, particularly in the Mekong Delta. In continuation of this support, a central element of the projects in the current portfolio is to increase the ability of smallholder farmers and upstream/downstream companies to adopt climate-smart and sustainable innovations that increase incomes, employment, quality of produce while reducing the environmental footprint. Through capacity development, the promotion of innovations and novel business models along the agro-food value chains we contribute to farmer’s climate resilience, stable and competitive production, increased incomes through higher product quality and compliance with standards. Businesses up- and downstream of agricultural production improve farmer’s access to diverse services, and stable access to markets.
