The Central Highlands province of Lam Dong will help local farmers to replace aging trees on an area od650 hectares including 565 hectares of robusta coffee and 85 hectares of Arabica coffee.
To this aim, local authorities have allocated the sum of 3.8 billion VND (US$170,400).
Most of the support will be given to localities with large coffee cultivation like Di Linh, Bao Lam and Lam Ha districts.
The money will be used to subsidise 60-80 percent of the prices of coffee seedlings.
The province is also holding training courses for farmers to improve production capacity, and facilitating their access to preferential loans to carry out the replantation programme.
Since 2013, some 25,000 hectares of coffee in the province have been replanted with the government-backed credit of 800 billion VND (36 million USD).
