The Director of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD)’s Southern Plant Protection Centre, Ho Van Chien, said that under the 84,000 USD project, the FAO’s specialists will run two courses for 70 farmers from the central province of Ninh Thuan and the southernmost province of Ca Mau who will teach other farmers the skills they have learnt at a later date.
The first course will begin later this month and the second is scheduled to start in November this year.
During the three-month course, the trainers will learn about IPM, which was first introduced in the country almost 15 years ago, for other crops as well as rice. They will be equipped with knowledge of the Vietnam and ASEAN’s Good Agricultural Practices and the Global Partnership for Good Agricultural Practices.
They will also learn about the consequences of climate change on plants and intensive farming techniques to build up sustainable methods of cultivation./.
