Structural impact of NL-VN Fruit Project: Introducing soil testing to farmers in Vietnam

6 February 2025

As published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature on 'Agroberichten Buitenland', Vietnam is listed as one of the most vulnerable countries when it comes to the impact of climate change.  Drought and salinization have negative impacts on soils and the agricultural production levels. Investing in a healthy soil is one the most effective measures to achieve resilient farming systems. High levels of ground water limit the aeration of the rootzone and reduce the biological activity, which can generate nutrient deficiency and bio physical stress of the crops. This can result in pressure pests and diseases. For that reason, control of groundwater levels is recommended to make the soil suitable for deep root growth and optimal uptake of nutrients.
