Vietnamese rice is in high demand.

In the context of increasingly severe and unusual climate change, with 7 million hectares of rice cultivation land, Vietnam is playing an important role in ensuring world food security and the quality of our rice is increasingly appreciated. This is reflected in the export price of rice, which is currently maintaining the highest level in the world.

The average export price of Vietnamese rice in the first four months of this year reached more than 514 USD/ton. Vietnam's high-end rice segment is also reaching the highest price, with 1,200 USD for 1 ton of the world's best rice ST 25.

Meanwhile, rice of the same segment from other countries such as Thailand or India... all have prices lower by 100 - 300 USD/ton.

Technology opens the future for rice plants

Not only stopping at high-quality rice varieties, Vietnam is also pioneering the production of rice grains with reduced emissions under the brand name "Low-emission Vietnamese Green Rice".

In the Project of 1 million hectares of high-quality rice in the Mekong Delta, farmers, businesses... have been directly applying and enjoying the advantages of science , technology, and modern machinery when replacing the previous traditional manual farming processes.

Optimizing production, helping to cultivate effectively, save costs and reduce environmental impact, Vietnamese rice is transforming with the technology era. The life cycle of rice plants is now not only calculated by the crop, but also by data and technology. Rice acreage is digitized, accurate to each square meter, calculating the amount of seeds and fertilizers needed for each stage of plant growth.

Technology opens the future for rice plants.

No more wading through mud under the scorching sun. Now, from a distance, farmers can control drones to spread fertilizer to each rice plant precisely, gently and effectively, all in just 2 hours.

From the untouched fields, we have the best rice varieties in the world produced in modern rice mills with leading technology.

Hanh Phuc Rice Factory is currently the largest rice factory in Asia with a total area of 161,000m2. The total daily capacity is up to 4,800 tons. The special highlight here is the system of 80 giant silos with a capacity of up to 240,000 tons of rice - the rice reserve of the Mekong Delta, contributing significantly to the national rice supply chain and export.

Amidst the ever-changing rice fields, young people with knowledge and passion have chosen to stay in their homeland, becoming a new heartbeat for a green, sustainable agriculture .

From bare hands to 4.0 rice engineers, half a century has built a resilient and ambitious agriculture. Now, green transformation, digital transformation and smart agriculture are the inevitable journeys of Vietnam.

Hope Vietnamese rice goes far

Vietnamese rice is currently present in more than 150 countries and territories, ranking in the top 3 largest rice exporting countries in the world.

A special act that not only changes the rice plant, but also changes the lives of rice farmers. On this path, every person in the Mekong Delta carries with them pride and hope for the future.
