Comments/Constraints Up to now, there are 27 ISPMs were published by IPPC and several specifications are also developed accordingly. These are key documents for member countries implements their standard harmonization. The implementation of ISPM in many countries are facing difficulties. Particularly, developing countries like Viet Nam. In general, requirements and regulation of ISPMs is normally higher than national standards. After comparative assessment between ISPMs and phytosanitary legal documents the main gaps indicated that the awareness of stake holders in respect to ISPMs is limited and there is not yet legal framework for some ISPMs so that the implementation of ISPMs could not apply at present condition of Viet Nam. Furthermore, human resources, technical capacity and technical information are big gaps in question, particularly exiting capacity of PPD do not meet yet adequately requirements of these standards such as ISPM No. 4, 10, 11 and others. |

Progress and Constraints
Main Progress in Recent Years (legislation, policies, infrastructure, investments, training, etc.) | ||
• |
IPM Training: 2 620 Trainers (Training of Trainer); 5 918 farmers trainer (training of farmer trainer); 31 185 FFS; 944 119 trained farmers (FFS). | |
– | Farmer analysis skills and critical thinking improved. | |
– | Farmer have become more independent in decision-making. | |
– |
Positive impact on human health and environment. Farmer trainers play important role in developing district and commune agricultural development plans. |
|
– | IPM field studies have had significant impact on provincial decision-maker in determining policy regarding recommendations on pesticide management, seed rates and nitrogen application. | |
• |
Impact of IPM: insecticide (-60%); all pesticide (30%); Seed rate (-16%); Nitrogen (-15%); Yield (+8%); input cost (-8%); income (16%). | |
Main Constraints (personnel, infrastructure, administrative, operational, training, etc.) | ||
• |
It is difficult to control pests in the field. | |
• |
There is no method for controlling effectively BPH and stunt disease in practical conditions of Viet Nam. |
