| Summary: | Vietnam has achieved remarkable economic
development over the last few decades, realizing major gains
in productivity and output and contributing to national
goals related to poverty reduction and economic
transformation, including an increase in per capita income.
While Vietnam has become a major international player in
global food markets, there remains a segment of the rural
population that has not benefited much from the
country's success in terms of economic growth,
particularly the success of the agricultural sector. The
main objective of this analytical work is to recommend
improvements to some of the agricultural interventions under
the new National Target Programs (NTPs). There are
significant gaps in agricultural incomes between the
regions, and between the poor and non-poor within the
region. This suggests that agriculture transformation is yet
to be completed, and there are untapped opportunities to
further increase agricultural incomes of the poor. This
report thus focuses on closing this gap in agriculture, as
another pathway for out of poverty. Although this work
started when the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic was not
fully pronounced in Vietnam and around the globe, the
pandemic has had significant influence on the national
economy as well as the performance of the agricultural
sector. The implementation of the recommendations
highlighted in this report could help strengthen the
strategies for post-COVID-19 (Coronavirus) economic recovery. |
