1. INTRODUCTION

1. The Central Mekong Delta Connectivity Project (CMDCP) aims to promotesustained and equitable economic development by constructing high class transportinfrastructure traversing the Mekong Delta Provinces of Dong Thap, Can Tho and AnGiang.

2. The proposed project consists of 3 components with a total length of 29 km andincludes the construction of two large bridges to traverse the Tien and Hau Rivers whichare major branches of the Mekong River system and inter connecting road.

3. In Can Tho City, a detailed measurement survey (DMS) was carried out from Aprilto September 2012 covering the ROW, the construction yard and the 1.5 km link to NH80.The project will acquire 54.8 hectares (ha) of land (mainly agricultural land) and will affect219 households (HHs). A total of 134 HHs will be affected through loss of productive land(101 HHs through loss of agriculture land and 33 HHs through loss of garden land). It isestimated that 80.0% of the 134 HHs (107 HHs) will lose 10% or more of their productiveland.

4. A Resettlement Plan (RP) for Can Tho City has been prepared based on DMS data.This IRP is also based on DMS data. Therefore, the project area will not change and theaffected households have been identified through DMS.

5. The objective of the income restoration program is to stabilize, if not improve, thelivelihood and income of severely affected and vulnerable households entitled to theProgram. This objective will be achieved through a number of programs and activities: Improving the productivity of the remaining land through provision of

agricultural/husbandry training courses for affected households. Developing household economies through provision of support for inputs to

establish small businesses, agricultural or husbandry activities. Improving skills and employment opportunities through provision of vocational

training courses and vocational support

6. The AHs entitled to the IRP are the following: Severely affected HHs (SAHs). (i) HHs who are losing 10% or more of their productive

land1 and their main source of income is from agriculture (107 HH) and (ii) HHs whoconduct business or any other income generating activity in their house and the HHshave to be relocated (44 HH).

Vulnerable Households: People on account of their position in society and/or theirphysical and economic situation are less capable of re-establishing themselves thanthe others and, therefore, face greater risks of hardship or impoverishment (20 HH).

1 Productive land refers to the definition of agriculture land in the 2003 Land Law (Art. 13 Classification ofLand), which includes: a) Land for cultivating annual crops, including rice cultivation land, and for breeding,and land for cultivating other annual crops; b) Land for planting perennial trees; c) Production forestry land;d) Protective forestry land; e) Specialized forestry land; e) Land for aqua cultural cultivation and breeding; g)Land for salt production; h) Other agricultural land as may be stipulated by the Government.

7. SAH who are losing more than 50% of their total land holding and who have 3family members in the labour age or more will be entitled to additional support, as follow: Entitlement to agricultural activities and vocational training; or Entitled to 2 agricultural activities; or Entitlement to 1 agricultural activity but with additional inputs;

2. PROJECT AFFECTED HOUSEHOLDS

8. Based on DMS data for the right-of-way and the construction yard, the number ofHH losing productive land (agriculture and garden land) is 134 HH (101 HH losingagriculture land and 33 losing garden land mainly fruit trees). Among the 134 HH, 80% willlose 10% or more of their productive land (107 HH). The number of relocated businessand vulnerable HH is respectively 44 and 20. Therefore, the number of potentialbeneficiaries of the IRP is 171.

3. IMPACTS AND RISKS TO LIVELIHOODS

3.1 General Risks Associated with Loss of Livelihoods in theProject Area

10. Resettlement presents risks to livelihood. The adverse impact on income is one ofthe most significant effects of resettlement for men and women, the effects of which canbe long lasting with inter-generational consequences. For linear impact projects losses ofincome commonly result from either having to physically relocate (e.g. causing loss ofcommercial, farming or other livelihood operation site) or significant reduction inlivelihood base (as in partial loss of farming land).

11. In some cases the challenge is to re-establish pre-existing livelihoods in a newlocation while for others it may have to adopt new income generating practices. Thelatter often includes farmers who either need to diversify income generating activities(e.g. adopt small scale trade to supplement farming)or intensify productivity on reducedareas of land.

12. Restoration of income is one of the greatest challenges to successful post-resettlement rehabilitation. The success of resettlement planning in restoring livingconditions is thus inextricably bound to income restoration and effective incomerestoration in turn necessitates a clear understanding of livelihoods, capacities and risksfaced by those displaced.

13. In Can Tho City, the project area is under urbanization and industrialization andagriculture land is scarce. Employment opportunities exist in the nearby Thot NotIndustrial Park. In Vinh Thanh District, it is easy to buy replacement land for APs tocontinue their livelihood activities. However due to the number of new projects in thearea, demand for replacement land has increased and availability has become scarce ormore expensive due to the high demand.

14. In Vinh Trinh commune, the most severely impacted category of livelihoods arefarming, representing 56.1% of the AHs followed by small business (11.9%). In Thoi Thuanthe most severely impacted category of livelihoods are respectively, hired labour,agriculture and small businesses with respectively 28.5%, 26.9% and 22.3% of the AH.

3.2 Specific Risks for Women and other Vulnerable HH

15. The crucial role that women’s productive work plays in the socio-economicwellbeing of the household can often be overlooked when AH livelihoods are onlyexamined at the household level. The nature of women’s work can often be quitedifferent to that of men. The implications for resettlement are that contrasts in thegeneral characteristics in productive work means that women can experience differentrisks and impacts on livelihoods compared to men.

16. Work located in close proximity to the home tends to be the income sources most


Page 4 of 33

severely affected by resettlement impacts. Women’s separate incomes, while generallylower than those of men, are an important element for empowerment within thehousehold and make a significant contribution to household wellbeing. Overall lostincomes for women poses significant risks in terms of increased time poverty,disempowerment within the family as well as impoverishment of households.

17. The level of women’s participation in remunerated work is lower to that of men inmost the project area. There is a higher representation of women as non-working(meaning not actively seeking paid work) reflecting women’s lower retirement age fromthe formal sector (55 years compared to 60 years for men) and decision by women orhouseholds for women to tend to the care of small children or care of aged parentsinstead of engaging in paid work.

18. There were 31 female headed households identified through the census. One FHHis also poor. The rate poverty is not higher among WHH than among the total AH(respectively 3.2% and 3.8%).

19. Vulnerable HH face greater risks of impoverishment. They might also use theirfinancial resources (i.e. compensation and allowances) for non-livelihood relatedexpenses.

20. Vulnerable HH are also likely to have lower level of education. Choice of suitablerestoration activities adapted to their education background is essential.

21. As per project policy, agreed by the Prime Minister and included in the RP,vulnerable HHs include: (i) households that are headed by women with dependents, (ii)household heads with disabilities, (iii) households falling under the generally acceptedindicator for poverty, (iv) landless households and (v) households who benefit ofgovernment social policy.

4. NATIONAL AND LOCAL TRAINING PROGRAMS

22. The Project wants to avoid any duplicity of programs and that the Project will beable to link Government and local programs that already exist in the area. The nationaland local programs have been identified. Information on the various programs, status,progress are presented below.

4.1 Program 1956

4.1.1 Main Characteristics of the Program

23. On 27 November 2009, the Prime Minister approved the project 1956/QD-TTg forvocational training for rural workers.

24. The general objective of the Program 1956 is to provide vocational training forrural workers until 2020 to prepare them for industrialization, agricultural modernization,and to ensure that equalization of access to training programs for most people, whopreviously did not have access to vocational skills development.

25. The specific objectives of the decision are twofold. Firstly, it provides vocational training for rural workers (the budget allocation

for this accounts for 95% of the total financial resources). Secondly, it enhances capacity building and improves management skills for

communes’ leaders and staff.

26. According to a recent report2, Decision 1956 aims at annually providing training onagriculture and non-agriculture skills for one million rural workers that are considered tobe above the minimum age for active participation in the labour force until 2020.

27. Program 1956 explicitly envisages the development of a more industrializedeconomic structure than the one currently in place (where agriculture still dominates) andhence Program 1956 places explicit targets on non-agriculture training in relation toagricultural training.

28. This ratio of non-agricultural training is expected to increase from 65% of the totaltraining provided during the period 2011-2015 to 75% for the period from 2016 to 2020.

29. Program1956 first sought to create jobs for rural workers in their own localitiesbefore training workers who wanted to work in other localities or overseas. Program 1956targets to secure jobs for at least 70 per cent of trainees. Training courses are divided infour major groups of occupations:a) Cultivating techniques, animal husbandry, forestry, and salt-production.b) Processing agricultural, forestry, and aquatic products.c) Irrigation management, water supplies, and rural environment sanitation.d) Agricultural management and services.

30. According to a report prepared by OECD3, to implement the program a Central

2NEU & NIVT (June 2012) Improving vocational training for Vietnamese rural workers.3 OECD (20120 Skills Development Pathways in Asia: Chapter 9 Measures for skills development andemployment in Viet Nam by Hoang Ngoc Vinhhttp://www.oecd.org/cfe/leedprogrammelocaleconomicandemploymentdevelopment/Skills%20Development%20Pathways%20in%20Asia_FINAL%20VERSION.pdf

Steering Committee has been established with the participation of key ministries as wellas similar steering committees at local provincial, district and commune levels. Each levelof the administration has to develop a plan to implement the program.

31. The program has mobilized participation from Communist Party organizations, alllevels of government, political and social agencies such as the Farmers’ Union, Women’sUnion, and Youth Union. Skills training are provided using a voucher system. There aredifferent types of vouchers depending on the priority of the subject. Trainees are givenvouchers and use them to enroll in vocational training courses according to their needs.The state pays the training institutions for the number of vouchers obtained. Higherquality vocational training institutions and ones which meet the needs of many learnerswill receive higher revenue. The state voucher system has created competition amongtraining institutions for quality and efficiency, thereby giving trainees more options andmaking them more accountable for their own training.

32. According to a recent article4 in the first six month of 2012, only 135,397 ruralworkers received vocational training, accounting for 28.4 percent of the annual plan. Thatnumber was too small to match with the expectations. The project aimed to train 500,000rural workers and 100,000 commune officials this year. However 82% of the trained founda related employment which is a positive result.

33. Other problems identified were delay in the funding which was hindering theimplementation of the project and lacks of contracted teachers and curriculums. It wasalso mentioned in the report that a lot of rural workers attended training courses just toget subsidies from the project and were not eager to learn a trade.

4.1.2 Implementation of the Program in Can Tho City

34. In Can Tho City, implementation of Program 1956 on vocational training for ruralworkers began in October 2010 and will be implemented until 2020. The total number oftrainees since the start of the Program is 9,035. For the first 6 months of 2012, thenumber of rural workers trained was 3,112.

35. According to the Can Tho Vocational Training Center, after receiving training (non-agriculture training) 75% of trainees could find a job. For special training course linked tospecific demand from factories or companies, 100% of trainees got a job after training.

36. According to the VTC, in 2010, training was given to 3,750 persons; among them2,789 (74.3 %) find a job after training. In 2011, training was given to 5.320 persons,(5,180 for short-term vocational training 140 for long term training). After training, 4,144trainees (77.89%) could find a job. From January to July 2012, among the 3,112 trainees,there was 379 students and after completion of the training course, 305 students(80.47%) were employed.

37. Most of the trainees chose non agriculture vocational training. Among the totalnumber of trainees since 2010 (12,182 trainees) 1,795 trainees (14.73%) followedagriculture training and 10,387 people (85.27%) followed non-agricultural vocationaltraining.

Page 7 of 33

38. The total budget planned until 2020 is 48,73 billion (2.34 M USD). The centralGovernment part is 24 billion VND (49%) and Can Tho City part is 24,73 billion VND (51%).

39. The Can Tho VTC is satisfied with the results of the Program in term of number ofpersons trained and % of trainees who could find a job.

4.2 Training Program in Can Tho City

40. Can Tho City Peoples Committee Decision 12/2010/QD-UBND. Can Tho Cityissued Decision 12/2010/QD-UBND dated 4 February 2010(on Compensation, Supportand Resettlement when the Government recovers land in Can Tho City. Article 30 of thisdecision is related to: Support for occupational change and job creation. In this Article thefollowing support measures are proposed:

a. Cash allowance corresponding to 1.5 to 3 times the compensation rate foragricultural land for HH engaged in agriculture production;

b. Affected farmers are entitled to vocational training in the city and are exemptfrom tuition fees for a training course (including training levels: primary level,intermediate level and vocational colleges).

41. In Thot Not and Vinh Thanh District, both affected by the project, the level ofallowance chosen was 3 times the compensation rates for agriculture land.

4.3 Main Differences between IRP Program and Existing Programs

42. The main differences between the existing national and city training programsand the proposed IRP are:

- City training programs cover farmers only.- Existing national and city training programs proposes training or allowance only;- The existing national and city training programs are implemented through existing

staff;- No input (animals, equipment, material) is provided to trainees by the National

and City Programs;- The existing program have no specific gender approach;- The Vocational Training Centers which implement the program have to assist

trainees to find a job. This is done through job announcement and job fair.

43. The activities are specific to training only. There are no follow-ups to gauge thesuccess of the program.

44. The proposed IRP covers a larger number of HH (not only farmers. The proposedIRP also propose inputs to implement agriculture activities or small scale businesses whichare not parts of the existing national and city programs.

45. The following table presents a comparison between existing programs and theproposed IRP activities.


Page 8 of 33

46. To avoid any duplication with vocational training under Project 1956 or othertraining program proposed by local authorities, it is suggested that HH who participate inthe IRP for the CCMDP Project will not be entitled to the one proposed under Project1956 or to any other training program.

Table 4.3-1: Differences between Proposed IRP Activities and Existing National andLocal Training Activities

5. PROJECT’S INCOME RESTORATION PROGRAM

5.1 Need for an Income Restoration Program for the CMCDP

47. Given the limitation of the existing programs mentioned above and in line with theoverall objective to restore, if not improve, the livelihood activities and sources of incomeof HH who are severely affected and vulnerable, an income restoration program, focusingon diversified activities to bring immediate income such that they will be able to producefor their basic needs and long-term livelihood management capacity has been prepared.

48. The IRP aims to (a) maximize the use of remaining productive lands for foodproduction; (b) create career opportunities through vocational trainings and job creatingactivities; (c) provide technical advice or/and small business/service models for those whowant to venture into business.

Page 9 of 33

49. Based on the consultations carried out with various stakeholders and needsassessment, the specific activities of the IRP are to (i) provide funds and appropriatetechnique for entitled HH whose remaining land are still viable to implement agriculturalextension models (ii) organize training courses which are suitable to APs’ capacity;provide supplementary trainings, consultations, allowance and other supports toparticipants attending the courses; and (iii) provide technical advice, models on smallbusiness/services and training courses, study tours on efficient economic enterprises.

5.2 Income Restoration Measures as per Resettlement Plan

50. As mentioned in the RP, severely affected HH will receive, in addition tocompensation for lost assets the following cash assistance:

Severely affected Farmers will receive:- 3 times the compensation rates for agriculture land per m2;

Relocated business will receive:- Transport allowance (3 to 7 M VND/HH);- Business stabilization allowance (0,8 to 2M VND/HH);

Vulnerable HH will receive:- Poor HH will receive 2,4 M VND/Year/HH for 3 years;- Women Head of HH with dependent will receive 2 M VND/HH- Landless an disabled head of HH will receive 2,4 M VND/HH

51. Cash assistance, as described above, does not necessarily lead to stabilization ofAHs due to situation mentioned above (e.g. high demand for land in the area, increasecost of land etc.) Therefore the IRP aims to provide supplemental assistance to severelyaffected HH and vulnerable, enhancing opportunities for them to improve incomesthrough training and provision of inputs. Risks to SAHs have been envisaged, as stated insection 3 of the report.

52. Given the other programs implemented in Viet Nam which resulted to somesuccess (Loan No. 2451-VIE:Ho Chi Minh City-Long Thanh-Dau Giay Expressway Project,ADB Funded) it is essential that the Project designs a suitable and sustainable IRP for theAHs.

53. As AHs, the IRP participants can also use the grievance process identified in theagreed RP.

5.3 Consultations with various stakeholders

5.3.1 Consultation during PPTA

54. Consultations during PPTA consisted of: 1 consultation meeting with the Can Tho People’s Committee May 2010; 1 consultation meeting with Thot Not District People’s Committee May 2010; 1 consultation meetings with AHs in Thoi Thuan June 2010;


Page 10 of 33

Separate discussions with key Can Tho City departments(Dept Transport, Dept ofAgriculture &Rural Development, Centre for Land and Housing Development), theWomen’s Union and Commune People’s Committees during the preparation of theresettlement planning document

55. During these consultations incomes restoration measures have beendiscussed.Programs identified which are considered to be suitable were discussed as earlyas 2010. Short term vocational training course (up to 6 months) managed by DOLISA andmicro-finance fund (small loans from VND 5 - 10 million) for productive purposes from theSocial Policy Bank at low interest rate were proposed during PPTA.

5.3.2 Consultation during Detailed Design Phase

56. During Detailed Design, 2 public consultations, one in each of the affectedcommune/ward, were conducted. During these consultation meetings, the IRP wasexplained by the DDIS Consultant. A sample need assessment was also conducted afterthese explanations.

57. Extensive discussion was also conducted from June to July 2012 with variousstakeholders as presented in the Table below.

5.4 Needs Assessment58. The programs identified by the local authorities cannot be imposed to the HHs.Participation of APs is crucial in the success of any given IRP. To identify the needs andpreferences of APs in the IRP, a sample need assessment, using a structured questionaire,was conducted in Thoi Thuan ward and Vinh Trinh Commune in September 2012.

59. A detailed needs assessment will be conducted once the IRP will be approved.Section 5.6 presents the purpose and main steps of the needs assessment. This detailedneeds assessment will be conducted by the DDIS Consultant, in collaboration withpartners, from March to May 2013.

5.4.1 Results of the Sample Needs Assessment

60. The survey covers 172 HHs: (i) 37.8% of respondents are losing 10% or more oftheir productive land and 61.0% will have to be relocated; 34 HH (19.8%) were alsoidentified as poor. We should note that the sample includes HH located in the former CYarea (larger than the one finally approved). In the former area, a large number of HH wereincluded.

61. Agriculture activities is the main activity chosen by the participants wiyj 45.4% ofthe choice followed by business venture (37.2%) and vocational training (17.4%). Basedon these %, and extrapolated to the total number of estimated beneficairies (171), theestimated number of HH choosing agriculture activities in Can Tho City is 117; theestimated number of HH choosing vocational training and small business is respectively44 and 96.

5.4.2 Planning of the Detailed Needs Assessment

63. The purpose of the Detailed Needs Assessment (DNA) is first to establishhouseholds preference for income restoration activities. The type of training, of

5 The number of AHs has been reduced significantly with the reduction of the CY where a lot of houses willfinally not be affected.


Page 13 of 33

agriculture activities and small business will be determined for each HH. The results willconstitute the basis for the implementation of the IRP. These results will also be used tofinalize the budget. In addition, the detailed needs assessment will provide baseline formonitoring and evaluation purpose.

Organization of the Detailed Needs Assessment

64. Agriculture Extension Centers, Farmer’s Union, Women’ Union and VocationalTraining Center will be first met to plan the DNA. Every organization will have to prepareinformation on the activities to be proposed to the beneficiaries.

65. For agriculture activities in particular, proposed activities should be with minimumrisk (favourable market conditions, few risk of disease etc.) and with short generatingincome (1 or 2 years maximum). Training will also be job oriented and consistent with HHeducation background to ensure the best work opportunities. Therefore it will be madeclear that HH will have a limited choice for agriculture activities and training to minimizethe risks.

66. In parallel, CIPM and the DDIS, in collaboration with each CLFD, will prepare thelist of beneficiaries in each commune.

67. Once the activities to be proposed to the beneficiaries chosen and the list ofbeneficiaries known, workshops with beneficiaries will be organized at commune levelwith the support of AEC, Farmer’s Union, Vocational Training Centers and Women’sUnion. During these meeting, the types of activities proposed will be explained.Beneficiaries will have to fill a needs assessment form (see Appendix 5 and 6).Beneficiaries will receive assistance to fill the form.

68. Those who couldn’t join the workshop will be met individually and asssited to fillthe forms.

Results of the Detailed Needs Assessment

69. Following the detailed needs assessment the choice of each APs will be reviewedand a recommendation will be made for every HH. Following agreement between thebeneficiary and all stakeholders on the IRP activity choice, a database of beneficiaries willbe prepared by the DDIS. This database will include HHs’ choice and baseline data. Thisdatabase will be regularly updated and will be made available for the external monitor.

70. A work plan and a final budget will be prepared following the DNA. Staffing foreach stakeholders will also be reconfirmed. A contract will then be prepared with the AEC,DOLISA and WU.

6. SPECIFIC IRP ACTIVITIES OF THE PROJECT

6.1 Agricultural Activities

6.1.1 Agriculture Models

71. A number of agricultural extension models were designed in collaboration withthe Farmers’ Associations, Agricultural Extension Centers:


Page 14 of 33

a) Cow-raising, pig-breeding, frog-raising, duck/chicken-raising;b) Planting: sesame; soybean; vegetablec) Aquaculture: shrimp; fish; eel

72. In order to reduce risk of failure for affected household, only agricultural activitieswith great chance of success has been proposed. Experiences from other projects6 showscow and pig breeding were found relatively easy to implement and generating goodincome. Chicken and duck raising were also found generating quick and good income.These activities are also suitable with local conditions, being practiced by some localresidents and there is available market to sell the produce.

73. Beneficiaries will receive input in kind only (i.e. animals); no cash will be given tobeneficiaries. Responsibilities of beneficiaries are detailed in section 6.1.4.

74. Based on the sample needs assessment conducted in September 2012, thenumber of surveyed beneficiaries who opted for agricultural activities representing 45.4 %of the total of surveyed HH. Chicken/duck raising was the choice of 29.5% of beneficiarieswho choose agriculture activities while 35.9% wanted to raise pig and cow; 19.2% optedfor pig and cow breeding.

7. IRP RISKS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

99. The objective of the IRP is to provide opportunities for severely affectedhouseholds and vulnerable to improve, or at least restore, their incomes and livingstandards. The support to households provided in the IRP supplements the compensationfor assets, allowances, and other forms of support included in the Resettlement Plan.

100. The IRP recognizes that there are many variables that can influence theeffectiveness of income restoration measures. Some relate to the attitudes, skills andcapacities of the affected persons themselves. Many others relate to changes in marketconditions in which the program must operate, which may be unanticipated at the time ofprogram design.

101. The IRP incorporates features to encourage program flexibility, to ensure that risksto effective income improvement (or restoration) are identified, and that resources areavailable to formulate mid-program adjustments in response to changing conditions. Adetailed needs assessment will be conducted prior to initiation of program activities, bothto establish baseline data on incomes and livelihoods against which program effectivenesscan be measured, and to establish household preferences and priorities for participatingin program activities (see section 5.6). This will result in preparation of a work plan andagreements with supporting agencies. An evaluation workshop will be conducted prior tothe second year of program operation, culminating in adjustments to work plans for thesecond year as may be relevant. To ensure that resources are available for programadaptation, a minimum of 25% of the IRP budget will be withheld for allocation only afterthe evaluation workshop.

102. It has to be recognized that the ultimate implementers of the IRP are thehouseholds themselves; they must be active and responsible participants if their incomesare to be improved. The roles of CIPM, consultants and concerned government agenciesand organizations are supportive in nature.

103. Proper monitoring and timely guidance is just as important as provision ofmaterial assistance for the successful implementation of the IRP.

Risk Description Mitigation Responsible1. Affectedhouseholds usefinancial resources(e.g., compensation,allowances orloans) for non-livelihood relatedexpenses

Severely affected households oftenare tempted to use financial supportfor expenses not related tolivelihood improvement (i.e. purchaseof motorcycle, purchase of householdappliances, payment of debts, etc.)

- Advise households to refrain fromusing their money for non-livelihood related expendituresthrough public meetings, groupconsultations.

- WU will counsel HH in budgetmanagement (see See Section 1.1,Component 1, Activity 1).

2. Affectedhouseholds sellprogram-suppliedinputs (e.g.,livestock,equipment), or useinputsinappropriately.

Severely affected households may betempted to sell inputs/equipmentthey receive through the program toraise cash for other purposes.Program inputs also may not beoperated or maintained in anappropriate manner. Pests or diseasemay affect provided livestock.

- Recipient households must signstatements that they will not sellprogram inputs.

- Agencies providing inputs alsoprovide training on proper use andmaintenance, and veterinaryservices available for livestock.

- Program monitoring includesassessment of input use.

3. Affected personsreceivingagricultural trainingfail to improveproductivity asplanned.

Agricultural training may be largelytechnical in nature, but changes inmarket conditions may undermineimprovements to income. It ispossible that prices of productioninputs (i.e. feeds, veterinarymedicine, breeder stock, etc.) at thetime of purchase are higher thanexpected, and farm products get soldat the time prices are low. This willresult in higher production cost, lowersales and therefore lower or evennegative net income.

- Agricultural training to includeemphasis on evaluating marketconditions

- Program monitoring and follow-upsupport to include provision ofmarket information, includingchanges in supply of, and demandfor, market commodities.
