SNV Netherlands Development Organization continues working with government partners at central and provincial levels to design and implement the project
<b>“Transforming Rice Value Chains for Climate Resilient and Sustainable Development in the Mekong Delta (TRVC)” (“TRVC Project”
</b>or<b> “Project”)</b>. The TRVC project is expected to be implemented in three (03) key rice-growing provinces in the Mekong Delta, including An Giang, Dong Thap, and Kien Giang, from 2023 to 2027. SNV, as the TRVC Project Manager (Project Manager), holds
ultimate responsibility for the implementation and management of the Project's activities and resources. SNV, coordinating with the Department of Crop Production (DCP) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), the Provincial People’s
Committee, and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) of 3 provinces An Giang, Dong Thap and Kien Giang, will co-deploy and supervise the Project activities. The international verifier recruited by SNV (<b>Verifier</b>), along with the

the TRVC Project will incentivize and attract the participation of private enterprises in the Rice Value Chain, aiming to scale up innovative technologies to achieve higher economic outcomes for smallholder farmers (SHFs) and all Rice Value Chain actors, improve

SNV Netherlands Development Organization continues working with government partners at central and provincial levels to design and implement the project
<b>“Transforming Rice Value Chains for Climate Resilient and Sustainable Development in the Mekong Delta (TRVC)” (“TRVC Project”
</b>or<b> “Project”)</b>. The TRVC project is expected to be implemented in three (03) key rice-growing provinces in the Mekong Delta, including An Giang, Dong Thap, and Kien Giang, from 2023 to 2027. SNV, as the TRVC Project Manager (Project Manager), holds
ultimate responsibility for the implementation and management of the Project's activities and resources. SNV, coordinating with the Department of Crop Production (DCP) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), the Provincial People’s
Committee, and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) of 3 provinces An Giang, Dong Thap and Kien Giang, will co-deploy and supervise the Project activities. The international verifier recruited by SNV (<b>Verifier</b>), along with the
