Abstract
Following the reforms of doi moi, household farms in Vietnam are being affected by policies
which are implementing land, financial and trade reforms. The nature of agriculture in Vietnam is
such that household farms operate within and are constrained by the activities of their location
within a village. Modelling household farms to analyse the effects of changing policies needs to
account for the spatial links between farms in relation to labour, inputs and produce, and the
constraints that operate on production decisions in the context of a village. In this paper we
develop a conceptual household model of Vietnamese farms at the village level, to develop a
simple economic model of a village.
