A national strategy for tree domestication is needed to guide efforts to promote conservation and use of priority indigenous tree species in Vietnam.
– Investment policies are needed to support breeding production and promote breeds quality management.
– Eco-physiological characterisation is needed to study a range of tree species that are well matched to varying environment conditions and climate change.
– Conservation efforts should be performed at both genebank and on-farm levels in order to support domestication.
– A set of criteria for prioritising species selection for domestication should include: National importance, Eco-regional importance, Domestic suitability for farm and plantation, Market demand, Product value, Gaps in collection, Level of Threat, and Adaptive traits.
