World Bank-funded study showed that implementing climate change adaptation measures in Viet Nam’s agricultural sector has the potential to increase their agricultural value-added by 10 percent (World Bank, 2010). Potential adaptation measures reviewed include modifying sowing schedules, planting drought- , flood-, and/or salinity-tolerant crops, increased research and development related to climate adaptation in the agricultural sector, improved agricultural extension services, or increasing the share of irrigated land.
