The three-day conference offers an opportunity for Vietnam to promote its rice production and export, as well as to showcase the achievements in improving the quality and added values of Vietnamese rice products.
It also helps promote the trademark of Vietnamese rice especially when the country is trying to build an international rice brand and improve the quality of rice while implementing a rice export market development strategy and completing its new legal framework for rice export activities.
The World Rice Conference has drawn the participation of about 200 foreign experts from many countries. High on the agenda is the discussion on rice production issues, policies on management of rice export, and the development strategy for Vietnamese rice markets in the coming time.
