OUR PURPOSE
To introduce best practices for sustainably improving
crop yields and quality for fruits and vegetable farming
via the establishment of an experimental farm in
Lamdong province. The farm will demonstrate best
practices and provide education and will measure the
impact on local farmers in terms of yields and quality.
Initial focus will be on potato, if the model is successful
it can be replicated and scaled up for other crops and
locations.

CURRENT PROGRESS
SouthSouth North North
- Harvesting is on progress with average yield of approximate 21 tons a Ha
- Expanding the sprinkler irrigation to 80% PI direct farmer contract; saving 763,000m3 water compared to conventional irrigation
- FL2215 wet-season yield at 19 tons a Ha in average. Trial report for MARD approval on commercial production; can growth commercially both dry and wet season
- The bacterial wilt hit on the late stage of 25 Ha Atlantic commercial production in Dak Lak made an average yield drop at 15.2 tons a Ha.
- Average processed yield at 16.3 tons/Ha
- Poor Village Projects in Son Dong, Bac Giang, and Cai Kinh, Lang Son delivered 436 tons to PI factory.
- Lang Giang, Bac Giang turns to commercial production for exporting to Indonesia after 2 year experience “Poor village project”.
- Exporting 500 tons to Indonesia
- Tan Nong is on progress of Criss4All trial and registration for commercial production.

LOCAL POTATO VOLUME GROWTH
- Exploring potatoes exportation to nearby countries – No available CIPC (sprout inhibitors) prevent stored potatoes exportation
- Exported 500 tons from the North (Tan Nong Co.) to Indonesia

Facility for Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Food Security (FDOV) potato project
Vietnam to benefit from the Dutch expertise in potato:• To:
– Increase food security in Vietnam– Promote sustainable potato production– Increase farmer incomes – Create new job opportunities– Establish a strong potato sector– Improve livelihoods:
• Women empowerment • Mechanization• Nutrition
Objectives of the project
Where in Vietnam
The project will focus on the Red River Delta and the Central Highlands regarding potato production activities
5 provinces were selected to initially focus on:
Nam Dinh, Thai Binh, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang and Lam Dong
The project is not confined to these provinces
Marketing activities will focus on Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City
Potato trials and potato variety registration
5 potato varieties (3 table, 1 multi purpose, 1 processing) selected to start potato variety registration procedures
Markies - table
Erika – table
Rosagold - table
Destiny – multi purpose
Arsenal - processing
Potato trials and potato variety registration
Started with first season potato variety trials in North-Vietnam and Central Highlands:
VCU tests
Commercial potato production trials
Contract signed with NCPT and FCRI for North Vietnam and with PVF center for Central Highlands
37,500 kg seed potatoes imported from the Netherlands to facilitate all trials
In North-Vietnam trials completed and data being analyzed
Feed back from farmers and local extension is very positive
In Central Highlands trials will be completed in April/May
Field days organised
For trials in North Vietnam several potato field days organized to share project activities and first trial results
Visited by extension officers from provinces, representatives from MARD ( CPD), traders and farmers
Field days organised
Field days organised
Potato preferences are taken into account
Appearance (in- and outside), taste, structure, etc.
Important to know to develop the market
Started training of 2,500 potato farmers
Vietnamese potato training materials developed
Module 1: Potato seed preparation, planting, bed structure and irrigation for table and processing potato production
Module 2: Potato fertilizer requirements, harvesting and potato quality for table and processing potato production
Module 3: Potato diseases, disease prevention and management for table and processing potato production
Trained so far > 300 farmers in North-Vietnam on potato production
Consumers preferences for potato identified
Completed consumer survey in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to identify:
How consumers perceive potatoes
What are the key characteristics for purchasing potatoes
Adaption curve of new potato varieties
