14. Develop basic research approaches that conserve and effectively utilize plant and animal genetic and other agricultural resources. Agro-biotechnology. Selection and development of varieties with high productivity, good quality, high resistance/ tolerance to biotic and abiotic conditions. Implementing Integrated Crop Management (ICM) and Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) to reach maximum productivity and economic effectiveness for each crop or cropping system. This approach is designed to maximize the natural, economic, social potential of each agro-ecological area. Climate change, sustainable agriculture and food safety VAAS R & D STRATEGIES

15. Reduce postharvest losses, Effective use of natural resources: soils, water and biodiversity. Develop agro-systems using an integrated socio-economic approach taking into account current household farming production institutions, types of co operations in rural areas, and the policy of agro & rural economic transitional reforms. Enhance S&T research & development for various ecological areas: research on effective use of available agro. land; developing agro, forestry, livestock production with an ecological sensitive agro-approach... VAAS R & D STRATEGIES

16. Challenges and Opportunities • Objectives for 2012 • Strengthen crop intensification, high quality and yield, ensure food safety and food security for local consumption and export; enhance commodities values in line with the restructuring agricultural sector and sustainable development, contributing to protect inflation, macro economic sustainability, ensuring public welfare. • Target figures: • GDP in agriuculture: 2.5-2.6 % (2012) • Value in agri-commodities increase: 4-4.5 % • Export values: 25.5-26.0 B$ • Forest coverage: 40.8%

17. Proposal for further research collaboration • Develop joint research project • Capacity building • Insect pests and diseases diagnisis and management - Training for academic degree (MSc, PhD, diploma, international and in-country training courses in specific areas • Invasive species management • Biodiversity: bio-resourse survey, database management, revise collection of arthropods, vertebrate, invertebrate composition, collection of diseases. • Knowledge Database and exploitation

18. For stress condition & climate change • Testing stress tolerance varieties/ lines against different conditions (drough, heat, salinity). • Cultivation practices ( crops rotation, SALT techniques, intercropping system, pest and disease management, nutrien management, etc) • Seed sertification and producing at farmer level • Extension • Manpower training • Pilot demonstration fields with farmer participation (IPM, FFS, TOT) • Commercial production

19. International Cooperation • Exchange and collaborate with many countries as well as int’l organization in the world • Jointly carry out projects • Host and join in many int’l workshop/ conferences • Receive many foreign senior delegates for exchanging/ sharing experiences • Send staff abroad to study & share experiences/ skills

20. Training • Post-graduate training: Have trained 346 PhD & 627MSc. They have since become some of the most respected professional researchers and administrators • Short training: Annually, organize numeral of short training course trained local researchers as well as foreigners
