This report analyses the effect on yield and economic return of salinity-tolerant rice varieties and good farming practices, and suggests strategies for food production to adapt to salinity intrusion in the coastal Mekong delta. Official statistical data and primary data from recent projects in the Mekong delta were analyzed. Results showed that for areas with salinity level of up to 4%, the growing of salinity-tolerant rice varieties and the application of appropriate agro-chemicals could help farmers maintain their rice production and income. For salinity levels exceeding 4%, the conversion of rice culture to rice - shrimp rotational farming is an adaptation strategy. For national food security goals, rice production could be given to upper and mid-delta areas.
