Despite the country’s rapid rate of industrialization in the last two decades, agriculture remains a major economic sector in Vietnam. It generates employ- ment and income for a significant part of the population.6 Climate change is expected to affect the sector significantly and in a number of differ- ent ways (Table 7). Much attention has focused on the potential impact of changes in temperature on rice yields, but any assessment of the impact of and adaptation to climate change on agriculture must take account of changes in land use due to salinization and flooding. Not all of the impacts will be negative because higher temperatures and/ or changes in rainfall may permit the cultivation of some crops in areas where they were previously not viable. Hence, it is necessary to examine the full set of adjustments to changes in crop yields, land suit- ability, market incentives and other factors in the context of a changing climate. One of the EACC sector studies (Zhu & Guo 2010) looked at these issues for a small number of crops.
