Abstract
The Mekong River Delta (MRD) is the largest rice producing area and one of the most densely populated areas of Vietnam. However, farming is very risky because it is climate dependant. The variation of climate from year to year leads to a considerable variability in crop production. Water deficiency and water excess associated with seasonal climate variability have a significant consequence on rice production.
