    Abstract


    Van Duc, Gia lam, Hanoi is one of the first selected communes to pilot and pioneer in the application of the VietGAP standards in cabbage production. By the qualitative and quantitative information was collected by various tools, the study focused on analyzing the current status and behavioral differences between VietGAP and traditional farmers in pesticide use. The results showed that VietGAP farmers' behavior had positive changes compared to that of the traditional group leading to a significant decrease in the amount of pesticide in the crop but the level was not still really high as required. The main reason is that farmers' qualifications and knowledge are still limited, the inspection and supervision are not regular, theconsumer market is not stable. In order to promote and create motivation for farmers to strictly implement the regulations, it is necessary to enhance training, supervision, and the expansion of the market.
