Description
This opportunity, offered by the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, funds a two-year cooperative agreement to advance the Fertilize Right Vietnam (FR Vietnam) program. The program’s goals are to increase fertilizer-use efficiency, promote innovative biofertilizer solutions, and develop alternatives to traditional chemical fertilizers in Vietnam, thereby supporting U.S. biofertilizer exporters. Projects should include collaborative research, outreach, and evaluation activities between U.S. and Vietnamese partners, with a focus on measurable increases in the adoption and import of U.S.-manufactured biofertilizers.
