The Department of Crop Production of Vietnam and the National Agricultural Extension Center, together with CCAFS Southeast Asia, International Center for Tropical Agriculture, and International Rice Research Institute, has implemented the TFCC project in three selected communes in MRD, such as Hoa Chanh (U Minh Thuong district, Kien Giang province), An My (Ke Sach district, Soc Trang province), and Tan Phuoc (Go Cong Dong district, Tien Giang province)
