One of the tour stops was at the Thai Binh Seed Company where they found an immaculate operation and an astute operator. They’re looking for clean, high-quality food; food that’s been monitored from seed to the shelf and everywhere in between, said company reps.
Uzbek imports a lot of rice and they are looking for a higher grade of it. If Uzbek would import more rice from Vietnam, that would be good for the entire rice industry.
The reps said the contingent will probably go back to Uzbek, digest it, write it up and meet with Vietnam again. Hopefully, it won’t be long before the protocols are in place. Once we do that trade more rice trade can begin.
