The significant achievements of the partnership include capacity building, enrichment of genetic and breeding resources, crop nutrition, plant
protection and production technology. OP1 has developed/released many improved
varieties of grounclnut (VD}, VD2, VDj , VD6 and VD7) and commercialized a substitute of natural coconut ash (AGA, alternative coconut ash) which is'extensively used as fertilizerin groundnut. It has also taken a lead procuction to ensure availability good quality seed of improved varieties to the fanners. The future resarch needs of groundnut production and trade in Vietnam are development of confectionery varieties vvith high O/L ratio and containment of aflatoxin contamination. OPI has potential to address to these issues.
