Update news rice granary
Officials from provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta – the country’s rice granary - and rice exporters have urged the government to resume rice exports without setting limits, saying many firms face difficulties because of this.
VietNamNet Bridge - The drought and saltwater intrusion in 2016, and the historic high tides this year, are indicators of things to come in the Mekong Delta.
The Muong Lo field in Yen Bai province, the rice granary in the northwest, is withering as it has not received enough water from hydropower plants during the dry season.
Instead of trying to prevent saltwater invasion and desalinizing, it would be better to adapt to the new circumstances and think of developing aquaculture in Mekong Delta, scientists say.
VietNamNet Bridge - Just within five days, the rice price in Mekong River Delta increased by VND300-350 per kilo after the forecast about poor crop.
