This research starts with the unstable food situation in Viet Nam and morning glory, which is a famous type of vegetables of Vietnamese people, becomes the object of this study.

Observation, in-depth interview and questionnaire used for understanding the chain and examining problems cause to stakeholders. Additionally, Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) is then operated for exploring the system of the mutual relationships of barriers that exists in morning glory VC. The results show predominant role of cooperatives beside contributions of traders, transporters, traditional and modern markets in the value chain in the mission of spreading reliable morning glory from farmers to consumers, and so far unfair competitions as well as low quality of production inputs directly create negative links with quality of morning glory in CLD besides the other factors. In order to make positive changes, author proposes actions related to four pillars of SUD should be exaggerated in the framework of the CLD for better vegetable production effectiveness as well as working environment inside the chain, by then, contributes to sustainability |
