A review of food research in Vietnam, with emphasis on postharvest losses.

Vietnam is rapidly emerging from a long period of economic isolation from the rest of the world. While the country has a long tradition in agriculture, in order to expand into international markets it will need to adopt and adapt new technologies at both production and postharvest level. This report identifies where development assistance agencies such as the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) might best provide help to the postharvest subsector. It reviews the needs for research into postharvest treatments to improve the quality and quantity of food in Vietnam. Background information is provided on production, utilization and methods of postharvest storage in Vietnam and how these methods could be upgraded to minimize loss of food and deterioration of quality. Recommendations on the main priority areas for research and development include: horticultural postharvest technology; horticultural products marketing; rice handling, drying, storage and processing; industrial crops processing; dairy farm development to generate a fresh milk industry; artisanal fisheries infrastructure, postharvest handling and processing; packaging; and improving quality control to produce consistent uniform products.
