Mekong Delta farmers switch to other crops in response to climate change
More farmers in the Cửu Long (Mekong) Delta have restructured their crop cultivation to adapt to the effects of climate change.
The delta, the country’s largest rice, fruit and seafood producer, has faced severe drought and saline intrusion in recent years and local authorities have encouraged farmers to switch to suitable farming models. The delta’s 12 provinces and Cần Thơ City have promoted transfer of advanced farming techniques and effective models to help farmers improve production efficiency.
