Vietnam

Rikolto has close to 30 years’ experience working in Vietnam, focusing on promoting farmers’ food security and supporting the sustainable development of specific agricultural chains. In 2021, we reached 2,943 producers.

Our journey started in 1994, mainly in the fields of mangrove reforestation, microcredits and agriculture. Since then, we have worked in a wide variety of agricultural chains, including tea and rice. Currently, we are implementing our Sustainable rice programme in the Mekong delta, and our Good Food for Cities programme in Hanoi, Tuyen Quang, Ha Nam and Vinh Phuc.
