Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam, Tran Luu Quang, hosted a courtesy call for ministers, ambassadors, and international organizations attending the festival. The event provided an opportunity for dialogue, sharing experiences, and coordinating policies to promote trade and investment in the rice industry. International organizations such as the World Bank, UNDP, and USAID will participate in the festival.
Four Major Workshops
The festival will host four major conferences focusing on various aspects of the rice industry. The workshops will cover topics such as South-South cooperation for food system transformation, science, technology, and innovation in rice, and the global rice market. These conferences aim to foster dialogue, share information, and promote sustainable development and market trends in the rice industry.
Celebratory Events and Records
In addition to the conferences and exhibitions, the festival will feature a gala dinner and the establishment of three Vietnamese records. These records include the “Longest Journey of Vietnamese Rice,” a Vietnam Map Model made from specialty rice varieties, and the event of processing the most cakes from rice and sticky rice.
The International Festival of Vietnam Rice Industry is a significant platform for Vietnam to showcase its achievements in rice production and promote sustainable development in the sector.
