The province has annually shipped more than 600,000 tonnes of rice to 63 countries and territories worldwide. Its rice exporters have focused on markets in Asia, Europe, Africa, America, Oceania and the Middle East.
Local businesses have taken the lead in zoning off large-scale paddy fields whose products satisfy importers’ demand.
A representative of the China Food Association said China has a great demand for rice, having imported 3.9 million tonnes of rice since 2012.
Chinese importers have been keen on Vietnamese rice, he said, adding that this offers a good opportunity for An Giang in particular and Vietnam in general to promote the export of agricultural products to China.-VNA
