During her visit she visited the potato fields in Tu Son district and Bac Ninh where she handed over the official certificates to farmers that successfully completed the three potato training modules introduced by the project and helped to harvest potatoes. These activities and direct discussion with Vietnamese farmers gave her a good impression of the positive impact the project is already having to vitalise the Vietnamese potato sector.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3><strong>Supply<\/strong><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:list -->\n<ul>\n<li>First 2 potato varieties passed phase 1 of the registration process and are now in final registration phase (commercial production of these varieties).<\/li>\n<li>Continuation of potato variety trials and registration of 6 more potato varieties.<\/li>\n<li>Potato production enhancing equipment, like irrigation systems and machinery to plant and harvest potatoes introduced to potato farmers.<\/li>\n<li>1,691 farmers (of which 72% female) received a training certificate after attending 3 potato training modules regarding potato production.<\/li>\n<li>Training of 27 potato production advisors was completed.
