VietNamNet Bridge – Many of Vietnam’s precious rice varieties only exist in the national plant gene bank and yet to be used commercially.

Vo Tong Xuan, a leading rice expert, said when he visited other countries to learn about rice markets, he met many overseas Vietnamese who wished they could buy the special rice which was formerly available.

However, many specialty rice varieties are no longer grown on Vietnam rice fields as farmers focus on high-yield varieties.

Many of Vietnam’s precious rice varieties only exist in the national plant gene bank and yet to be used commercially.

Xuan has tried to prove that if scientists and businesses join forces to restore precious rice varieties, they will succeed because the demand is high. As people’s income has improved, they want to buy better products.

TH True Milk is moving ahead with the project on restoring Vietnam’s specialty rice varieties. It will use world’s most advanced technologies, Vietnamese brainpower and natural resources will be used to create special rice products for the world market.

However, the project remains on paper. In 2014, Berjaya, the investor, asked for the municipal authorities’ permission to scale down the project by half. Tiếp tục đọc “Huge foreign-invested real estate projects remain on paper” →

A park project in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta has sparked concern among local residents for blatantly encroaching on a large area of a river, as it may cause the riverbank to collapse anytime.

For the past six months, people in Cai Lay and Cai Be Districts, Tien Giang Province, have been worried by the construction of a fruit park as it will take up a considerable portion of a local waterway.

Locals and experts fear that the project would cause changes to the natural torrent of the river, resulting in subsidence in nearby areas. Tiếp tục đọc “Fruit park project encroaches on river, poses subsidence hazards in southern Vietnam” →

HÀ NỘI – The National Assembly discussed the draft revised Law on Fisheries at its plenary session in Hà Nội yesterday.

Several lawmakers stressed the need to establish centrally-run, municipal and provincial fisheries surveillance systems to ensure fisheries law enforcement and defend sovereignty over waters.

The work should also meet requirements for a capable surveillance system to prevent fishing practices which would result in an import ban from the European Union, one of the country’s major seafood markets. Tiếp tục đọc “NA discusses draft revised Law on Fisheries” →

Adherent: Villagers use natural adhesive to glue the powdered herbs together.

Phia Thắp is a small community of 50 homes in the northern border province of Cao Bằng. Besides agriculture, the tiny mountain hamlet is well-known for makingr incense, an ancient trade passed down for hundreds of years. Everyone in the community, from grandmothers to children, take pride in the trade.

Phia Thắp incense is a popular brand in this part of the country. The incense is hand-made from 100 per cent natural ingredients. The sticks are made from split bamboo. Locals collect special herbs in the mountains and grind them to make a powder. They later add it to pine powder and add colour. The final step is to put the wet incense out under the sun to dry.

The incense provides a subtle but distinctively pleasant aroma, which retains the fragance smell of agarwood.

Nestlé, Mars and Hershey have been accused of breaking pledges to stop using “conflict palm oil” from deforested Indonesian jungles, just days before the annual Halloween confectionery frenzy.

The Rainforest Action Network (RAN) says consumers have been “deceived” by promises from the brands to clean up their supply chains which were subsequently delayed, revised or watered down. Tiếp tục đọc “Nestlé, Hershey and Mars ‘breaking promises over palm oil use’” →
