Title: Prospects for Postharvesting of Fruits and Vegetables in Vietnam
Funded by: Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit (BMZ)
Period: 1999-2000
Collaborators: Postharvest Technology Research Institute (PHTRI), Research Institute for Fruits and Vegetables (RIFAV), Department of Agricultural Policy and Rural Development (DAPRD), Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
Summary: This project, which began in August 1999, seeks to ascertain the potential for postharvesting of fruits and vegetables in Vietnam by assessing the current state of food processing and by recommending policies and strategies to promote its development. It will identify product groups for in-depth study and constraints to their development; characterize household and community management of PHS/AGI activity; identify institutional mechanisms to lower the transaction costs rural households and small firms face; and empirically analyze alternative strategies for development.
