Five-year Synthesis Report Part 2: Challenges to Rural Poverty Reduction in Viet Nam 7. IMPROVING ACCESS TO AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE Agriculture, Forestry and Aquaculture extension services (called “agricultural extension services” in general) can help reduce poverty in rural areas. This section part presents feedback on extension services from the monitoring points at the end of 2011, based on a quantitative survey in combination with group discussions and in-depth interviews with agricultural extension services agencies and beneficiaries. 111 7.1. Level of access to agricultural extension services A significant number of households have access to basic agricultural extension services, although the number accessing in-depth services is not high. About half (52%) of the interviewed households accessed at least one agricultural extension service in the previous 12 months, a similar proportion to 2007. The three most popular services were “Training” (77%), “monitoring and dealing with diseases, immunization for animals” (41%) and “providing subsidized plants, animals, fertilizer” (40%). However, the number of households participating in “demonstration model” or “agricultural extension services clubs, groups of community support” is low (11% and 16% respectively). Women from both poor and non-poor households participate less in extension services (Table 7.1). Nevertheless, the proportion of women participating in agricultural extension services has increased over past five years. However, in ethnic minority mountainous communes many still believe that men will benefit more from extension services than women because they “get technical knowledge” better and “have better social contacts”. In low-lying areas with Kinh domination, such as Thanh Xuong - Dien Bien and Duc Huong - Ha Tinh, there are sometimes more women than men participating in agricultural extension services as there is less of a gender bias and many men are migrant workers.
