With an estimated budget of up to 50 million USD, through the “Limited Scope Grant Agreement”, USAID will help Vietnam reduce agricultural methane emissions, build resilience for the Mekong Delta’s vulnerable communities, promote nature-based solutions, and develop climate-resilient and low-emissions policies.

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan spoke highly of the US’s support for Vietnam’s agriculture and rural development with tens of millions of USD each year to roll out cooperation projects in disease control, climate change adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and African swine fever vaccine research.
