Synopsis (short abstract) In line with its economic achievements, there has been significant progress in Viet Nam’s agricultural production, in particular yielding and productivity performance. Over the last three decades, the country has advanced from a genuine food shortage, with approximately 60 percent of people living below the poverty line in 1990, to being a major exporter of key staple foods and commodities such as rice, cashew, black pepper, coffee, cassava and fisheries. However, there remain fundamental challenges facing Vietnamese agriculture, including low competitiveness, pests and diseases, environmental sustainability and climate change.

In line with its economic achievements, over the last three decades, Viet Nam has made considerable progress in food security and poverty reduction. The country has advanced from a genuine food shortage, with approximately 60 percent of the population living below the poverty line in 1990, to becoming a major exporter of key staple foods and commodities such as rice, cashews, black pepper, coffee, cassava and fisheries. Nevertheless, critical gaps persist, challenging the achievement of zero hunger. High malnutrition rates, especially among children in rural and mountainous regions, remain a significant issue.

Feasibility Studies for GCF Saint Lucia Proposal in Support of the Fisheries Sectoral Adaptation Strategy Action Plan (SASAP) - TCP/STL/3802 2025

Saint Lucia is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its small geographical size, high-risk location in terms of volcanic and seismic activity, tropical cyclones, oceanic forces, and economic dependence on agriculture and tourism. The impact of climate change on the country‘s marine and coastal ecosystems includes: (i) increased intensity of tropical storms, posing risks to fisherfolk; (ii) a projected decline of over 40 percent in fish catch-potential in tropical oceans by mid-century; (iii) negative effects on coastal ecosystems and aquaculture due to rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification and marine heatwaves; (iv) damage to fisheries infrastructure from rising sea levels and storm surges.
