Building climate resilience in Vietnam

In Vietnam, we have implemented initiatives designed to improve the climate resilience of the Robusta supply chain in two of the main producing provinces in the Central Highlands. Actions taken include the following:

• • Promoting and distributing grafted clones of Robusta, ensuring pest-resistance and higher productivity levels
• • Implementing intercropping and agroforestry models, along with the distribution of fruit trees and forest trees, to support income diversification and higher carbon sequestration rates on farms
• • Implementing soil conservation practices, with distribution of organic fertilisers, soil amendments, cover crops and mycorrhizae products, supported by the development of nutrition programmes on a large scale, with up to 4,000 farms provided with soil analysis
