In recent years, in the face of unpredictable weather and climate change, provinces in the Mekong Delta have adopted actions to adjust agriculture production to make it more adaptable. Farmers in the Mekong Delta have been growing rice for 50-70 years and rice cultivation is a strong economic sector. Does the MARD have scenarios on how to respond to climate change to help farmers in agriculture production? Under the Government's Resolution 120 on sustainable development of the Mekong Delta, agriculture production here will be organised according to ecological regions. Last but not least, if we want to increase land areas for fruit trees and aquaculture, we must reduce areas under rice cultivation.
