They plan to convert 112,000 hectares of low-yielding rice farms into other crops or fish farms from 2014-2015.
Cultivation of other crops like maize, soybean, peanut, sesame, watermelon and vegetables have profited farmers more than rice, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The State will give farmers VND 2 million (US$95) per hectare to buy seeds for new crops.
