Maize imports in the first five months of 2015 are on the rise but rice
exports are on the decline, according to figures from the Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development.
Authorities in the Cuu Long (Mekong) River Delta are planning to switch
from low-yield rice to higher-value crops like maize, sesame, peanut,
soybean, and others on 112,000ha by 2015, the Crop Production Department
has said.
