The Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) is the Australian Government’s specialist agricultural research for development agency, within the Australian aid program. It contributes to the program’s objectives of helping partner countries reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development.
Since 1993, ACIAR has collaborated with Vietnam to broker and fund research partnerships consistent with jointly agreed priorities. The relationship between ACIAR and Vietnam has evolved from donor-recipient to partnership and co-investment. The current program covers 6 key research areas: agribusiness, fisheries, forestry, livestock systems, soil and land management, and social systems.
