Timor Leste wants to learn Vietnam’s experiences in growing rice for export, said Timor Leste President Jose Ramos Horta.
President Horta expressed his wish while visiting the northern province of Hung Yen on April 27 as part of his current working visit to Vietnam.
He visited My Hao district and met some local farmers, where he was impressed by the local annual rice yield of nearly 12.5 tonnes per ha, over six times higher in his country.
Hung Yen has nearly 60,000 ha of land for agriculture, with 70 percent under rice cultivation yielding turning out more than 500,000 tonnes of rice a year. The rice not only meets local demand, it is also sold to other localities across the country.
President Horta spoke about Timor Leste’s natural conditions and farm produce such as coffee, oranges, bananas and coconuts. His country has to import many agricultural products and is an open market for international exporters.
