Value Chain Inefficiencies At the farm level, very inefficient (and generally excessive) use of fertilizer, chemicals, and other inputs A very small proportion of exported commodities is aggregated by cooperatives or other formal entities serving commercial purposes Contract farming is much less well developed in Vietnam than in other countries where smallholders play a prominent role in commercial value chains The mixed record of Vietnam’s agricultural exports with major expansion in trade volumes yet significant shortcomings in quality and sustainability
