The Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) is the Australian Government’s specialist agricultural research-for-development agency, within the Australian development program. ACIAR helps deliver the knowledge and technology that underpins more productive and sustainable farming systems and more resilient food systems for the benefit of developing countries and Australia.
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 key research areas, including agribusiness, fisheries, forestry, livestock systems, horticulture and crops, soil and land management, and social systems.
