In this paper, we analyzed the case of government failure of the Compensation Program for Farm Closure, which is being promoted as part of the domestic supporting measures against FTAs. We identified the causes and suggested several ways to improve the program. The Compensation Program for Farm Closure is one of the policies implemented by the government to enhance the competitiveness of domestic agriculture and stabilize farm household income in the process of FTA implementation. However, during the course of the operation of the program, the government failed. The main reason for government failure is information asymmetry and lack of information among policy stakeholders. As a result, it is necessary to resolve the problem in order to overcome the government failure and improve the effectiveness of the Compensation Program for Farm Closure. As a concrete alternative, it is necessary to improve the accessibility of stakeholders to production, price, and income information, and provide management consulting services at the same time. Only farmers who prove the damage caused by the FTA should be supported through the program.

The adoption of organic fertilizers is one of the measures of sustainable agricultural production in Vietnam. This research evaluates the effectiveness of organic fertilizer application and the factors affecting adoption of organic fertilizers in rice production. The data of 3,972 rice farmers from the 2014 Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey dataset are used in the analysis. The results show that yield, revenue, and cost of rice production for farmers using only inorganic fertilizers are greater than those forf farmers applying organic fertilizers. However, there is a consistent profit between the two groups of farmers. Use of organic fertilizers improves the financial efficiency of rice production for farmers. The amount of inorganic fertilizers required decreases when farmers apply organic fertilizers. Farmers who are Kinh people, have loans for rice production, or have large land areas tend to use less amount of organic fertilizers. Meanwhile, farmers with higher education, who join the Farmer's Association, or have more household members, are more likely to use organic fertilizers for rice production. This study implies that farmers should apply organic fertilizers to increase the financial efficiency and sustainability of rice production. The government needs to design policies to motivate the production and utilization of organic fertilizers.
