Seminar on Farmer economics analysis

Dr. Uchiyama Katsuyoshi – short term expert on “ agricultural economic analysis” was assigned the project from 30 May to 27 July, 2007. During the term, he carried out the series of surveys on milk market and by-products from milk as well as dairy farmer situations including their income. He once had carried out a survey on the markets in Ho Chi Minh city, Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Ha Tay, and so on.

Based on his experiences and these surveys, he held a seminar to analyze the real situation of dairy farmers in Vietnam, their common consumption habit, the cause of their low income and possible solutions.

Farmer economic analysis was a new field in this project. However, it had shown direct effects to the farmers’ situations, so this seminar attracted a great number of dairy farmer participants.
