VOV.VN - Local businesses have been advised to swiftly prove their ownership of the Vietnamese rice ST25, the world’s best rice, for trademark protection in the United States, after four foreign firms registered to protect this trademark in the US.

The Prime Minister has recently promulgated the national product development programme to 2030.

VOV.VN - Vietnamese rice ST25 has been awarded the second prize at the World's Best Rice Contest 2020 which took place within the framework of the 12th world rice conference from December 1 to December 3 in the United States, according to local hero Ho Quang Cua, known as the 'father' of ST25 rice.

The golden time for Vietnam to promote its rice brand will come once the country is able to promptly expand production of ST25 rice in line with a safe process, according to rice exporters.
