Education and Training

In 2005, the Institute has deployed the PhD program in Genetics and Plant Breeding.

The Institute is engaged in a broad range of education and training activities. It conducts in-house training, as well as for government employees in the agricultural sector, for farmers and farmer groups, for industry, and for trade and graduated secondary school students. It hosts workshops and conferences in all its research fields. It undertakes extension activities for farmers and government employees throughout the Mekong Delta region. Many of its scientists are involved in lecturing and course design at numerous universities in southern Vietnam, and supervise postgraduate students.

Since 1997 the Institute has taken responsibility for the Southern Technical School for Engineering and Agriculture. The School teaches the latest trade and farm skills needed to manage a farm profitably. A College of Agriculture is now being planned to train technicians and researchers.
