The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development of Viet Nam (BIDV) have signed a 250 million USD financing package to support sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture, while enhancing access to finance for women-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Viet Nam.

PepsiCo Foundation has officially launched the Harvesting Potential  project, focusing on regenerative agriculture and climate resilience. Implemented over three years in the provinces of Dak Lak, Gia Lai, and Thanh Hoa, the project is set to directly support around 13,000 smallholder farmers, including 8,160 women and 5,440 men, with an indirect impact on over 73,000 people.

A workshop on Viet Nam’s development in economy, politics, society, environment, and agriculture over the past year was held on August 8 at the Crawford School of Public Policy under the Australian National University (ANU).
