Abstract

Phú Thọ is a mountainous province in North Vietnam, and its Phuø Ninh is a typical district on low hills living on agriculture. The living standard here is still low: average personal income is VND7.6 million a year, 14% of families here are poor, and 20.5% of under-fives are undernourished. The situation shows that working out scientific measures to increase the personal income is really a challenge to policy makers. To achieve this aim, it's necessary to identify factors that affect the farming household income. Therefore the paper tries to address twos aspects: Scientific basis for income-affecting factors and suggested solution to farming household income.
