The use of motorbikes is very common in Vietnam

http://thefactfile.org/vietnam-facts/

In the 1990s, http://www.loncinindustries.com/ brought

suppliers into its co-creation initiative and asked for

ways to reduce the cost of manufacturing.

The resulting ideas helped Loncin cut costs by more than 70% and gain 60% of the Vietnamese motorcycle market within 4 years. With strong capabilities in co-creation, Loncin since has branched out into engines and cars.

Growing rice

https://www.vayable.com/experiences/6302-memories-faming-time-with-cu-chi-tunnels

In agriculture, reforms have led to higher yields and turned Vietnam into the

world’s 3rd largest rice exporter.

http://www.mckinsey.com/insights/asia-pacific/sustaining_growth_in_vietnam

Vietnam can help to improve the quality of its

fish farming - and the quality of its seafood exports - by more actively promoting internal control systems in which international train local farming cooperatives to inspectorganisations for quality among their own members.
