Agricultural development and poverty pockets survey
Commercialization of agricultural production and access to markets are vital for smallholders and growth in developing countries. Even though, positive growth is recorded in market-oriented agricultural regions, social differentiation still occurs and poverty prevails in certain geographically concentrated areas, i.e. in poverty pockets. The study investigates poverty changing dimensions of agricultural growth and diversification process that unfolds in the Mekong River Delta (MRD), through the conduction of surveys for 640 households in 4 provinces of MRD.
A scoping study on private sector resilience to disaster and climate risk in Vietnam
Oxfam in Asia has identified that the Private Sector, especially the agri-business and financial service providers for agricultural production and services, including insurance companies, play a crucial role in building resilience to disaster and climate risks for their businesses, for small-scale food producers and processors. This project is aimed to provide Oxfam a better understanding of the nature of work and current practices of businesses and support services in agriculture as well as their link to building disaster and climate resilience; in order to inform their decisions for future interventions.
