The purpose of this case study is to assess the status and challenges of agricultural machinery services of 60 households of two communes in the Central Coastal Area of Vietnam. Decision No.48/NQ-CP aiming to reduce governmental postharvest losses promoted the development of machinery services and contributed to the owner’s income structure by 36.2%. Due to low local demand for machinery services, Phong Binh owners had to expand their services to nine other provinces in hope to increase the income. The lack of information about customer demand made it challenging for the farmers to achieve the goals.
