Agriculture Sector Research Priority Setting Workbook 2. PowerPoint Presentations Agriculture Sector Research Priorities i1 IntroductionThe Government of Vietnam’s (GoV) Socio-Economic Plan outlines the government’sexpectations for agriculture and rural development. The Agriculture Sector GDP in 2009 was220 trillion VND, approximately 18% of total GDP. Agricultures share of GDP has steadilydeclined GoV and while the GDP increased by 5.3% during 2009, the agriculture GDP increasedby only 1.8%. Never-the-less government expects GDP growth in the agriculture sector toincrease annually by 3 – 5 %.Research intensity1 in Vietnam is less than 0.2% which is lower that most developing countriesof 0.5% and much lower than developed country average of 1.5%. GoV has targeted a 12%increase of central government funding levels from 2006 – 2011 and to date total fundingincreases in agricultural research funding have exceeded that level. MARD research fundingprovides approximately 65% of all forms of local funding in Vietnam. Provincial budget providethe bulk of the remaining 35%, but as GoV policies of decentralistion are further implemented itis expected that both the total funding (Central & Provincial) will significantly increase and theproportion of total funds sourced from Provincial budgets will also increase.In spite of these increases, in real terms the budget has effectively kept pace with inflation.Currently the use of Cost Norms for determining research project budgets is a major constraint.Although these norms perhaps enable support for a greater number of research projects they haverestrict the scope, size and impact of research. Planned reforms in research funding are likely tosee research costs becoming more market related and the cost of salaries included in the budgetsof research proposals. Both these factors mean that even if funding continues to grow at 12% peryear, research intensity will not change much and funds for agricultural research will remainvery scarce and still well below that of other developing countries.At the moment research fund ...
