Vietnam aims to improve the competitiveness of Vietnam ’s rice products and to boost production in a sustainable manner, said Deputy Director of the Cultivation Department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) Pham Dong Quang.
To implement this project, in 2013 alone, 13 provinces in the Mekong Delta built 369 large-scale rice fields on total area of 120,500ha while the Red River Delta provinces built 1,265 large-scale rice fields on total area of 35,518ha, focusing mainly in Nam Dinh and Thai Binh provinces.
This year, the large-scale rice field model has been expanded throughout the country on hundreds of thousands of hectares. In the summer-autumn season 2014 in the Mekong Delta alone, enterprises coordinated with farmers to grow and consume rice products on 100,000ha.
The restructuring project also showed that in the coming time, the rice growers will use more rice varieties of high quality, high yield that could meet the market demand and sell at high prices. Accordingly, the Mekong Delta’s rice will target for exports while the Red River Delta’s rice will mainly serve the domestic market.
To improve the competitiveness of Vietnam ’s rice products, farmers need to establish associations that represent farmers in building policies and negotiating purchase prices, said Pham Dong Quang. He also noted that Vietnam should encourage domestic and foreign enterprises ( Japan , the Republic of Korea ) to hire land to produce rice for domestic consumption and or export to third countries or export back to these countries.
The restructuring project also mentioned the support for enterprises to develop their trademarks in a bid to maintain traditional export markets and explore new markets like Northern Africa or Eastern Asia.-VNA
