Title of document: Resource Guide for Farmer-Trainers _ Based on: Organic Farming - Organic Agricultural College, Denmark IFOAM Training Manual for Organic Agriculture in the Tropics Authors: IFOAM Journal’s name if any: Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: IFOAM Year of publication: Geographic focus: Vietnam Main issues / topics addressed (for example: Introduction; The Living Soil; Soil and Water Management; Farm Nutrient Balance; Plant Nutrition - Keeping the Balance…) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): Summary: Organic farming tries to work with nature as much as possible. This applies both to the crops and animals, which provide the basis for our survival, as well as the surrounding natural environment Organic agriculture constitutes only a small portion in the world's agriculture, rarely constituting a few percent of a country's farming sector. Governmental support for research, extension or marketing in organic farming is still very low in most countries. Nevertheless, organic farming at present has promising growth rates all over the world Read MoreSamphanh LATHSAKID 16 downloads -
A win-win situation for both farmers and private companies “A case study of tea marketing in Phu Tho, Vietnam”
Title of document: A win-win situation for both farmers and private companies “A case study of tea marketing in Phu Tho, Vietnam” Authors: Vredeseilanden/VECO Journal’s name if any: Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: Vredeseilanden/VECO Year of publication: 2013 Geographic focus: Vietnam Main issues / topics addressed (for example: Tea sector Vietnam; The tea chain in Yen Lap district; Towards a business organization, high quality and good price; Results and future perspectives…) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): Summary: Tea is the second most popular drink in the world, after water. For a number of developing countries, including Vietnam, tea is an important commodity in terms of jobs and export earnings. However, as with many other agricultural commodities, real primary producer prices have fallen dramatically over the last three decades. VECO is active in Yen Lap district, Phu Tho province, where tea is a major crop, often accounting for over 40% of family income. Chain development is seen as an approach which can improve the quality of the tea by developing strong market linkages and collective actions, resulting in a better income for farmers.

Income Distribution in Vietnam’s Rice Value Chain
Title of document: Income Distribution in Vietnam’s Rice Value Chain Authors: Tran Cong Thang Journal’s name if any: Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: IPSARD Year of publication: 2017 Geographic focus: Vietnam Main issues / topics addressed (for example: Introduction; Distribution of profits in the domestic rice value chain; Distribution of profits in the value chain of rice export ; Conclusion…) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): Summary: The main actors in the Vietnamese rice value chain are farmers (paddy growers), traders, processors (drying, milling, polishing), and food trading and export enterprises. Of these, many export enterprises have owned milling and polishing systems to meet the conditions of rice export in accordance with Decree 109/2010/ND-CP. In this case, the export enterprises have also played the role of processors as well as exporters in the value chain Read MoreSamphanh LATHSAKID 4 downloads

What limits agricultural intensification in Cambodia? The Role of Emigration, Agricultural Extension Services and Credit Constraints
Title of document: What limits agricultural intensification in Cambodia? The Role of Emigration, Agricultural Extension Services and Credit Constraints Authors: TONG Kimsun, HEM Socheth and Paulo SANTOS Journal’s name if any: Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: CDRI Year of publication: 2011 Geographic focus: Cambodia Main issues / topics addressed (for example: Introduction; Literature review; Data; Empirical approach and estimates; Conclusion …) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): Summary: This paper attempts to define the factors which determine emigration and rice doublecropping, i.e. rice cultivation on the same plot twice per year, by rural households in Cambodia, and investigates whether these decisions influence each other using data from a two-period panel survey of 231 households in three provinces in rural Cambodia. In the analysis, we take into account possible correlation between these decisions (through estimating a seemingly unrelated bivariate probit model) and unobserved heterogeneity among farmers (through estimating a random-effects probit model). It is found that rice double-cropping and emigration decisions are not closely inter-related. We can also conclude that the availability of water and agricultural land are the key determinants of rice double-cropping. Households which rely on animal draught power for agricultural production are unlikely to engage in rice double-cropping. Policies aimed at increasing irrigation and providing socioeconomic land concessions in rural areas may play a critical role in improving agricultural production.

Current Use of Pesticides in the Agricultural Products of Cambodia
Title of document: Current Use of Pesticides in the Agricultural Products of Cambodia Authors: Visarto Preap and Kang Sareth Journal’s name if any: Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: MAFF Year of publication: Geographic focus: Cambodia Main issues / topics addressed (for example: Introduction; Pesticide use; Feature actions; Conclusion…) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): Summary: Lack of law enforcement to farmers especially those who greatly depend on using pesticides created a big challenge for pesticide management in Cambodia; banned and restricted pesticides are widely available in the local markets. Counterfeit and illegal pesticide products are often found in unregistered pesticide shops/retailers. To fight against these challenges Cambodia shall take priority actions: improve border inspection on circulation of pesticides, and strengthening pesticide management law.

Integrated Nutrient–Weed Management under mechanised Dry Direct Seeding (DDS) is essential for sustained smallholder adoption in rainfed lowland rice (Oryza Sativa L.)
Title of document: Integrated Nutrient–Weed Management under mechanised Dry Direct Seeding (DDS) is essential for sustained smallholder adoption in rainfed lowland rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Authors: Pheng Sengxua, Tamara Jackson, Phetsamone Simali, Leigh K. Vial, Khamsouk Douangboupha, Elizabeth Clarke, Dome Harnpichitvitaya and LEN J. WADE Journal’s name if any: Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: Cambridge University Press Year of publication: 2018 Geographic focus: Lao PDR Main issues / topics addressed (for example: Introduction; Materials and Methods; Results and Discussion; Conclusion…) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/experimental-agriculture/article/integrated-nutrientweed-management-under-mechanised-dry-direct-seeding-dds-is-essential-for-sustained-smallholder-adoption-in-rainfed-lowland-rice-oryza-sativa-l/9BF9B05F08CFE5505AC994E5F1234274 Summary: In rainfed lowland rice-based systems, increasing labour scarcity due to off-farm employment is encouraging farmers to switch from transplanting to dry direct seeding (DDS). To assure stable productivity at a level comparable with or superior to transplanting, DDS management must ensure rice seedlings have access to nutrients in order to be competitive with weeds, which must also be suppressed. This paper examined farmer perceptions of DDS using a farmer survey, and used on-farm experiments to examine responses of rainfed lowland rice to integrated nutrient–weed management, based around mechanized DDS. In the survey, weeds were the biggest problem faced by farmers in using DDS (61%). In 90% of cases, farmers reported that weeds had increased under DDS, with most farmers (78%) controlling weeds by hand. All farmers said they would use DDS in the following season (100%), due to labour savings (47%), timeliness of operations, improved productivity, low investment or a combination of these (44%). In on-farm experiments, banding nutrients with the seed at sowing enhanced early dry matter of rice, while early weed dry matter was reduced. Early weed control using ducklings or hand weeding reduced weed competition and increased rice growth, with ducklings providing additional yield benefits over hand weeding. Early increases in seedling vigour of rice, and in weed suppression, carried through to greater dry matter and yield of rice at maturity. Integrated nutrient–weed management in mechanized DDS increased DDS yields, reduced DDS yield variability and contributed to sustainability of DDS rice systems.
