Đề tài Study on economics and socioeconomics of small scale mango farming and cooperatives in the Mekong River Delta, Vietnam

The average population growth rate in Vietnam in the early 1990’s was 3.5%, but it is now slowing to 1.35%. This may be due several factors; a decreasedin fertility rates and better education provided to the ethnic minority groups who traditionally had large families and an increase in living standards. The Mekong Delta population growth rate is 2%, 0.65% above the average for Vietnam. The implementation of “doi moi” and poverty reduction policies by the Vietnamese Government have made significant progress in reducing poverty. The average poverty rate in Vietnam is now 19%. The poverty rate in the Mekong Delta is still at 13.3% with a further 20% of households living just above the poverty line. This economic recession could see a change in poverty rates, people are migrating from the cities back to their families in the country due to a downturn in employment opportunities. The Mekong Delta Economic Cooperation stated that the Mekong Delta provides90% of rice exports, 70% of fruit production and 60% of aquatic products exported from Vietnam. Therefore, whenever people mention to the Mekong Delta, they usually mention its advantages. People usually consider the Mekong Delta region as a "rich food but poor knowledge" region. Education and training of people is low. For example, the number of regional students studying in the vocational schools is at the lowest rate. Because of its low intellectual standard, compared with the whole country, the Mekong Delta has not reached its full potential and regional agricultural production is unsustainable and the poverty rate will increase if this continues. Farmers with higher education levels appear to be able to understand problems and apply new technologies to solve those problems, whilst farmers with lower education levels implement traditional farming practices and hope the problems that they face will be solved by someone else. About 40% of the Mekong Delta is affected by acid sulphate soils (ASS). Disturbance of ASS through land clearance, drainage, tillage and mounding can cause acid runoffs into the aquatic and marine environment, either killing fish or increasing the incidence of disease in the marine population. Saline soils also present further constraints to agricultural development and are located primarily in the coastal zone. Development of new, and re-establishment of existing orchards will require soil to be either moved or disturbed, and a management plan will be needed to eliminate the runoff of acid or nutrients trapped in the soil into the environment Good farm and orchard design is essential to ensure any water, fertiliser, chemicals and soil runoff is trapped on farm. This is an essential element of GAP. This element is often overlooked or neglected due to the cost of re-establishing an orchard or loss of viable producing area to ensure the environment is protected. There are no incentives or subsidies and farmers are forced to provide these costs out their own pocket, reducing their viability even though there are wider social, ecological and environmental benefits, such as reduced incidences of contractible diseases, cleaner environment, fewer pollutants and a healthier life for the community from such practices.
