    The typology of agricultural holdings (AHs) aims to characterise different types of production structures and assess their relative importance. The dynamics of these different types allow the transformation of agriculture to be monitored over time to design pertinent support policies for agricultural production units. This paper presents the results of a typology of agricultural holdings in Vietnam that was carried out with a methodology discussed in the WAW initiative. The typology of agricultu ral households and commercial farms is based on rural household data from the 2010 Vietnamese Household Living Standard Survey (VHLSS) and on commercial farm data from the 2011 Agricultural and Rural Census (ARC).
