“Việt Nam has undergone a remarkable transformation in agriculture to emerge as one of the world’s leading agricultural exporters, playing a crucial role in the global food supply chain.
According to the National Statistics Office under the Ministry of Finance, the output of unhusked rice between 1976 and 1980 averaged just 13–14 million tonnes annually. In 1978, production fell to a historic low of 9.8 million tonnes, forcing Việt Nam to import nearly 1.6 million tonnes of milled rice per year.”- Việt Nam News
