Abstract

This article evaluates the current state of developing the linkage between production and consumption of key and potential agricultural products in Dak Nong province. In the area, there are three types of association organizations: the horizontal, vertical, and regional linkage. The province has a total of 65 organizations that are linked to product value chains in 9 agricultural product sectors, and approximately 9,660 households involved. The linkages focused on key and potential products like coffee, pepper, cashew, macadamia nuts, rice, fruits, pork, and poultry. Linkage has been beneficial for all parties, but there are also various challenges. Specially, aiding farming households in overcoming constraints and risks in capital and technology, attaining steady outputs, and decreasing spontaneous production for farmers. Supporting policies are still hindered by many barriers, including limited access to scientific, technical and market information; passive households participating in linkage; limited scale, capacity, and qualifications; and untight linkage contracts. Parties are likely to violate the contract, and farmers are often at a disadvantage. Production is mainly carried out in small-scale households that are fragmented, dispersed, and spontaneously developed. In order to develop linkages in production and consumptions of agricultural products in Dak Nong, it is necessary to implement solutions in a synchronous manner, including adjustment of some related policies.
