Hanoi, Oct 11 (Prensa Latina) Established as the third largest supplier of rice to the planet, Vietnam has welcomed on Thursday half a thousand delegates from some 30 of the main grain producing, exporting and purchasing countries.
Deputy PM Vuong Dinh Hue noted at the opening of the 10th World Rice Conference that in the midst of a burgeoning industrialization process, Vietnam still allocates almost 60 per cent of its land to cereals.
Rice provides livelihoods to some 9 million Vietnamese households, is one of the guarantees of the country's food security, and its development, and that of agriculture in general, is one of our priority policies, he said.
Dinh Hue stated that Vietnamese rice meets the requirements of the most demanding markets and aspires to be deeply integrated into the global value chain as a result of efforts to raise its quality through the application of advanced technologies in cultivation and industrialization.
The Minister of Industry and Commerce, Tran Tuan Anh, explained that the strategy for 2017-2020 focuses on raising grain quality, improving farmers' incomes, protecting the ecosystem and satisfying consumer demand.
Vietnamese rice is present in some 150 countries and has its main buyer in China, followed by Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia.
Before Vietnam, the two main world exporters are India and Thailand.
