In a document sent to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the MARD requested it provide updates on such exports and market demand as a foundation for any adjustments to sticky rice cultivation areas and output in upcoming crops.
Sticky rice is not listed within the national food reserves under Decree No. 94/2013-ND-CP.
It is primarily cultivated in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam’s “rice bowl”.
In the 2019-2020 winter-spring crop, the rice variety was grown on about 65,000ha and 44,000ha in the Delta’s Long An and An Giang provinces, yielding approximately 258,000 tonnes and 195 tonnes, respectively.
