  • Binasia National Workshop
  • 27-28 January 2005 Hanoi Vietnam
  • Some information about agricultural
    Biotechnology in private sector in Vietnam
  • Assoc.Prof. Le Thi Anh Hong

I. introduction
  • Vietnam is situated in the Indochina peninsula
    with a total land surface area of 330,000 square
    kilometers and coast line of proximately 3,200
    kilometers. The country is divided into three
    plains. The northern, central and southern
    plains.
  • With around 70 of the labor force working in
    agriculture and forestry, Vietnam remains an
    agrarian society. although the share of
    agriculture in GDP is diminishing. In 1997,
    agriculture accounted for only 26 of GDP (Gross
    Domestic Product) compared to 42 in 1989 which
    means that the share of agriculture in GDP is now
    lower than both industry (32) and service (43).

I. introduction
  • Vietnam has limited but very fertile agricultural
    land. On average, the cultivated areas amounts to
    only 0,1 ha per capita. Which is among lowest in
    the world. Rice. Which occupies 80 of the
    cultivated areas, is by far the most important
    crop for both subsistence and export, although
    the export earnings from coffee are of a similar
    magnitude. Over the last decade, however,
    agricultural production has diversified and today
    industrial crops account for around 2000 of the
    production

I. introduction
  • Vietnamese government recognized the importance
    of biotechnology for the country. Since 1994,
    biotechnology has been identified as priority is
    for funding. it has been ranged the second in
    importance after information technology. Despite
    the limit of total funding capacity for science,
    hut funding for biotechnology is increasing from
    year to year. However, development of
    agricultural biotechnology is still far from
    expectation. Among the number of existing
    reasons, the poor participation of private sector
    in research development of agricultural
    biotechnology could be important one. This has
    historical origin. Only in recent year, Vietnam
    has the Mo cua and entered market economy
    system and since then, private sector start play
    more and more important role in economy. This
    situation happens in the area of research and
    development as well as in the area of
    agricultural biotechnology.

5
I. introduction
  • Private sector starts to have share in this area
    since early 90, and shared ratio become slowly
    but constantly higher in recent years.
  • The ultimate goal of agricultural biotechnology
    in Vietnam is to create scientific basis for
    development of agriculture in the country. Which
    could satisfy the demand in food and row material
    for industry and export.
  • Priorities orientations of biotechnology in
    agriculture development to the year 2010 of
    Vietnamese Government are (cite from MOST 1998)

6
I. introduction
  • 1. Selection and breeding high quality varieties
    for the development of forestry, medicine herbs
    and crop plants (including cell and gene
    technologies.)
  • 2. Producing bio-fertilizer.
  • 3. Producing biopesticides used in plant
    protection and product conservation.
  • 4. Producing vaccine for animals and striving to
    have new generation one.
  • 5. Producing KIT for diagnosis of plant and
    husbandry animal diseases.
  • 6.Human resource training for biotechnology.

7
I. introduction
  • in Main scopes of agricultural biotechnology
    activities have been approved to aim at
  • Mass propagation of healthy material for plant
    and animal production.
  • Creating of new varieties of plant and animal
    having higher yield or better quality, better
    resistance to insect and diseases
  • Promoting the use of biological methods in plant
    and animal protection to minimize the amount of
    polluted agrochemical
  • Developing biofertilizers.

II. PRESENT STATUS OF PARTICIPATION OF PRIVATE
SECTOR IN AGRICULTURAL
  • II.1. Plant propagation
  • This is the most intensive area of agricultural
    biotechnology with which agricultural
    biotechnology has been developed in Vietnam. A
    net of micro - propagation laboratories has been
    developed by both government and private
    companies. It has been calculated that every year
    these factories provide to production 20-30
    millions healthy seedlings. Among them forestry
    plants shared 17 millions seedlings. The rest
    part come to flower, ornamental, potato, cassava,
    medicinal, fruit plants and other plants.

SECTOR IN AGRICULTURAL
  • II.1. Plant propagation
  • In the area of micro - propagation private sector
    plays important role. Exist here two types of
    factories. Private and government funded
    factories. In private factories all investments
    for establishing of the factories, running
    expenses includes technology development are
    fully carried out by companies or private
    persons. Private factories react very quickly to
    specific demand in planting material of certain
    plants and provide to farmer millions of
    seedlings in the locations every year. This type
    of factories are usually mall, poorly funded. but
    they are very operative. Most of them are
    non-registered until recent years. Recent
    tendency revealed that a number of private
    biotechnology companies has been registered. They
    are

  • functioning efficiently. answering quickly on
    demand of production in the area of seedling
    production.
  • In government funded factories, government pays
    for the establishment of the factories and
    training of staffs, technology transfer. Running
    expenses are taken by the companies. These
    factories are better equipped, production scale
    are larger. The purposes of these factories are
    to meet demand of provinces or government
    programs in larger quantity of healthy seedlings.

  • II.1. Plant propagation
  • It is useful to mentioned about role of private
    sector in providing of seedlings of fruit plants
    like citrus, litc/hi, Logan by grafting and
    Forestry. This part of work is carried out
    exclusively by private sector.

  • II.2. Bio - products
  • Bio - products are an area of intensive activity
    ol private sector. It includes two types of
    production bio-fertilizers and products for
    plant protection- bio -pesticides and bio -
    insecticides.
  • a. Bio - fertilizer until 2001 registered 34
    types of bio - fertilizers. They are produced in
    all ecological regions of the country with
    different scales. The producers are as followine
  • 1. Sugar companies this a type of state company.
    There are 35 sugar companies. All of them have
    bio - fertilizer processing factory with
    following production capacity.

  • II.2. Bio - products
  • These sugar companies are funded by the
    government, but running expenses are covered by
    them- self. For production. they received
    technology transfer from universities or research
    institutions. At the present time they produce
    70.000 ton of bio - fertilizer equal 30 of their
    production capacity. It is going tendency to
    privatize these sugar companies. Part of them
    became shared holder companies.
  • 2. Private bio - fertilizer Factories These
    numbers of private bio - fertilizer producing
    factories that are listed below

  • II.2. Bio - products
  • These companies in the most cases are to utilize
    the waste of production. return it to useful
    products to meet local demands in fertilizer.
  • Parts of Bio - fertilizer are produced by
    research institution and universities in join
    venture with production units in provinces.
  • Products for plant protection

  • II.3. Biotechnology for crop improvement
  • This area of activities is covered entirely by
    governments. State companies. private sectors do
    not yet take part in these activities. Meanwhile
    this is the most important and larger area in
    agricultural biotechnology, which requires
    enormous efforts from both government and private
    sectors.

  • II.4. Biotechnology in Plant Diseases Control
  • All of activities on quarantine procedure are
    organized by Government. But in recent years.
    some private companies and area of plant disease
    diagnosis are emerged for eliminating important
    diseases before multiplication of some kinds of
    flower, potato, citrus, bananas and forestry
    trees.

21
II. PRESENT STATUS OF PARTICIPATION OF PRIVATE

  • II.5. Biotechnology for cattle breeding
  • Requirement of cattle breeding in funding is
    higher than plant breeding. for propagation
    technology of animal breeds, all of technologies
    in this area are very expensive. So that it is
    very difficult for every private companies to
    take part in this area (for example vegetative
    propagation of animal breeds). However, many
    private companies try to apply advance
    technologies to create the new varieties
  • of animal breeds in Vietnam condition to meet
    demands of domestic market.

22
II. PRESENT STATUS OF PARTICIPATION OF PRIVATE

  • II.5. Biotechnology for cattle breeding
  • The activities on Animal disease diagnosis on
    shrimp- Fish, Beef, Pig also emerge in the
    private sector. Beside, the farmers also applied
    Biotechnology in taking care animal such as
    chicken, shrimp, fish ... in collaboration with
    some private companies from Thailand in
    Vietnamese condition from sanitary animal house
    in each household to nutrition region.

23
III. PERSPECTIVE OF PRIVATE SECTOR IN
AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
  • III.1.Importance of private sector in
    agricultural biotechnology in Vietnam
  • Vietnam is country with divers agro-ecological
    regions. each region has specific needs in
    planting material, specific plants varieties,
    specific animal breeds. All these need should not
    be covered by government programs. Private
    sector, especially small and medium size
    companies are flexible and quickly reacting could
    fulfil these needs. Private sector could mobilize
    all human and material resources on all levels to
    meet specific demands in the locations.

24
III. PERSPECTIVE OF PRIVATE SECTOR IN
AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
  • III.1.Importance of private sector in
    agricultural biotechnology in Vietnam
  • On the other side, funding for biotechnology,
    especially in the area of improvement of crops
    and animal breeds are very expensive, even for
    developed, rich countries. In those countries
    private sector covers of total expenses for RD
    in biotechnology. Vietnam is poor country,
    involvement of private sector for development of
    biotechnology is of extreme importance

25
III. PERSPECTIVE OF PRIVATE SECTOR IN
AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
  • III.2. Privatization tendency in agricultural
    biotechnology
  • We can note following tendency in the area of
    agricultural biotechnology
  • A number of newly funded private companies
    working in the area of Agricultural biotechnology
    increased remarkably in recent years.
  • Number of State owned enterprises become shared
    holder is increased. These enterprises
    consequently will he act as private company

III. PERSPECTIVE OF PRIVATE SECTOR IN
AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
  • III.2. Privatization tendency in agricultural
    biotechnology
  • We can note following tendency in the area of
    agricultural biotechnology
  • Government funded laboratories (factories)
    presently are working on self funded base. To
    increase efficiency of these factories it is
    beneficial to return them in to shared holder
    enterprises.
  • The private sector in the most important area
    biotechnology for improvement of crop varieties
    and animal breeds still do not exist. There must
    be created favorable conditions for these
    companies to come.

27
IV. CONCLUSION
  • Ultimately, biotechnology is more than just a new
    and useful agricultural tool. It could also be a
    hugely important instrument of economic
    development in many poorer regions of Vietnam.
    The participation of the private sector is
    essential to the further development of the seed
    and biotechnology industries in Vietnam, we would
    like help us to prepare appropriate policies be
    adopted to encourage the private sector, both
    domestic and international, to engage in private
    seed and other biotechnology enterprises in
    Vietnam

28
IV. CONCLUSION
  • This, in turn, would be an important step in the
    journey toward genuine food security. But as a
    report published contends ills critical that the
    potential benefits of biotechnology (especially
    gene technology) become available to developing
    countries, it is also critical that biotechnology
    (especially gene technology) become available to
    private sector.

29
IV. CONCLUSION
  • Because the participation of the private sector
    is essential to the seed and biotechnology
    industries in Vietnam, Can you BINASIA support
    for prepare an appropriate policies be adopted
    to encourage the private sector, both domestic
    and international, to engage in private seed and
    other biotechnology enterprises in Vietnam.

30
IV. CONCLUSION
  • Because policy makers, scientists, farmers, and
    the public have limited access to information as
    a basis for informed decision making, and because
    this limitation is exacerbated by the fact that
    most information related to biotechnology is in
    English, the Panel recommends support for the
    establishment and operation of a biotechnology
    outreach and communications program that would
    disseminate information in the local language and
    help train agricultural biotechnology
    stakeholders in biotechnology communications.
