Accordingly, the credit will directly benefit for 200,000 rice-growing households with about 1 million people in the Mekong Delta and another 50,000 coffee producing households of about 250,000 people in the Central Highlands.
The project will assist rice farmers in the Mekong Delta provinces of Kien Giang, An Giang, Tien Giang, Can Tho, Soc Trang, Dong Thap and Long An to adopt improved farming practices and improve basic production and processing infrastructure for producing high-quality rice by linking them to agribusinesses.
