Improving productivity of famers
Improving the productivity of smallholder farmers can make a large difference in meeting the ever-growing demand for healthy and nutritious food around the world. In the last four decades, Dutch tropical vegetable seed company East-West Seed (EWS) has provided millions of smallholder farmers in Southeast Asia with high-quality hybrid seeds, improving their productivity and standard of living
Agriculture in Vietnam
Smallholder farmers are the backbone of Vietnam’s agricultural sector, responsible for the large majority of the agricultural production. In the Mekong Delta, Vietnam’s main rice producing region, agriculture is impacted by drought and salinisation and food loss is high. Boosting the productivity of small-scale farmers is vital for meeting the food demand of Vietnam’s growing population now and in the future.
