Abstract

It is essential to understand the farmers’ views on VietGAP when they adopt VietGAP in farming beef cattle. However, few empirical studies have assessed the beef cattle farmers’ perception on VietGAP. Data were collected from 305 farmer households through a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The results show that most farmers (51.1–99.7%) are aware of VietGAP requirements when farming beef cattle. Young male farmers with a higher education level, a high income, communicating with extension officers, and possessing ICT tools for marketing have a greater tendency to adopt VietGAP.
