Vietnamese agro-scientists
sell seeds to earn a living
VietNamNet Bridge Most research
institutes and agronomists have unwillingly
become marketing experts or seed
sellers to earn money to live and conduct
scientific research.

Council of the Agricultural Genetic Institute,

the

said.
Meanwhile,

and
hereditary
characteristics have been ignored. This
explains why Vietnam can create many
varieties,
but

Vinh, in an interview given to Dat Viet
newspaper recently, noted that when
scientists have to spend time to advertise
their inventions and sell products, they
would not have time and energy to create.He
warned that the unreasonable pay for
scientists had led to lower quality of
scientists. The low pay does not allow
research institutes to attract talent.Professor
Nguyen Van Hieu has said in the past that
he fears that Vietnamese scientists may be
issueless.A report shows that rice yield in
Vietnam has increased by 95 kilos per
hectare, and rice varieties make up 30
percent of the increase. Thus, Vietnamese
scientists created $66 million from new rice
varieties alone.

Vietnams cashew import from Nigeria is

Vietnam produces starch and the raw

The number of geese wintering on Texas'
coastal prairie and marshes more than
doubled this year from last year's record
low, with the largest increase seen along the
upper coast, where rice production also
boomed.
Downward trend
Hunters and birders noticed that changing in
the 1960s as the tens of thousands of large
Canada geese - birds weighing 9-12 pounds
- that had wintered along the Texas coast
began stopping far up the flyway, where
increased corn production and permanent
open water in new reservoirs gave the big
geese no reason to migrate farther south. By
the 1970s, only a handful of the large
subspecies of Canada geese wintered on the
Texas coast.But snow geese, white-fronted
geese and smaller subspecies of Canada
geese continued pouring into Texas each
autumn.
