Rice exchange to begin transactions

The first rice trading floor in Vietnam will debut in the Mekong Delta province of Hau Giang during Vietnam’s first ever Rice Festival at the end of this month.

Director Nguyen Van Dong from the provincial Agriculture and Rural Development Department said that the trading floor is being set up by the Vietnam Food Association, replacing a 20ha rice market in Chau Thanh A district.

This is the second farm produce exchange to be established in the country after the coffee trading floor in Buon Ma Thuot in the central highland province of Dak Lak was opened, added Dong.
