Rice-rice and rice-shrimp production: a gender perspective on labour, time use and access to technologies and services in Southern Viet Nam
Within the framework of supporting sustainable production in a context of rural transformation, this study focuses on smallholder farms in Soc Trang, southern Viet Nam. Its purpose is to highlight and compare women and men’s contributions to two integrated, rice-based farming systems and explore how gender norms affect labour and access to productive inputs, technologies and services: the first is a more traditional production system centred on double rice cropping, while the second adopted an innovative practice which integrates rice and aquaculture (shrimp farming). The conclusion introduces a set of key findings and research, policy and project implementation recommendations.
