Synopsis (short abstract) This paper explores whether there are systematic differences in decision making between those who regularly allocate public resources, and those who are more frequently the intended recipients. To test for differences we sample across farmers and policy makers in Vietnam who vary by the responsibility they have over making public policy decisions. Our findings suggest that preference parameters such as fairness, risk, discounting and control systematically differ between these individuals, and are predictors of the likelihood that an individual is in a position of allocating public resources or receiving them.

    The changing patterns of value chains in agriculture affect equity between producers and buyers and equity among producers themselves, alter the allocation of resources in agriculture and have implications for domestic as well as international policy. This set of workshop proceedings is published to assist in the understanding and analysis of the implications of these developments, particularly the development of market power among the participants in these markets.

    Policy change requires support from all levels of stakeholders, starting from the grassroots level to the decision-making authorities. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (FAO-ECTAD) are supporting the Department of Livestock Production (DLP) of Viet Nam to improve risk management along the market chain by closely collaborating with all levels of stakeholders. The project is supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Bac Giang is one of the provinces with the highest poultry population in Viet Nam. However, the biosecurity conditions of hatchery and poultry households are still very poor, contributing to low production efficiency and increasing risk of animal and zoonotic diseases. Although the legislations of Viet Nam regarding auditing on veterinary hygiene conditions are available, they are not suitable for the small-scale production, which is widely popular in Viet Nam. In this context, DLP in collaboration with FAO is implementing the project “Evidence-Based Risk Management along the Livestock Production and Market Chain” in Bac Giang to improve farmers’ and local authorities’ capacity on good husbandry and biosecurity practices and to support registration, auditing and certification system of hatcheries.
