Facing growing global consumer demand and strict international food safety regulations, Vietnamese rice exporters are continuously innovating under the principles of “green – clean – organic” farming. This approach focuses on sustainable rice production to enhance product value and meet global market expectations. Organic Vietnamese rice is cultivated in clean, controlled areas without the use of chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. It relies on naturally superior rice varieties and combines traditional farming methods with modern technology to ensure quality and sustainability.
Vietnamese organic rice meets strict international standards including GlobalG.A.P, USDA Organic, JAS (Japan), EU Organic, and COR (Canada), as well as national standards like TCVN 11041-5:2018. Achieving these certifications requires rigorously managed farming processes: crops are grown in unpolluted fields, without synthetic chemicals, GMOs, or chemical fertilizers. Each step from seed selection, cultivation, harvesting, processing, to packaging is carefully controlled, with regular external audits, and certificates renewed every three years with annual monitoring.
USDA Organic ensures rice is entirely free from synthetic inputs and GMOs, while EU Organic focuses on environmental protection and biodiversity. JAS and COR standards—regulated respectively by Japan and Canada—demand full compliance with organic practices and strict traceability. Vietnamese organic rice prepared under these certifications is not only safe for consumers but also enhances nutritional value and preserves the rice’s signature fragrance. Additionally, national standard TCVN 11041-5:2018 brings further credibility, clarifying that ‘clean rice’ is not necessarily ‘organic rice’; only products that pass stringent organic farming and certification qualify.
Transparent traceability, using QR codes and digital records, allows international buyers to track every stage of production (planting, care, harvest, export). This builds trust and serves growing consumer demand for food origin and safety confirmation. Organic rice exports have helped Vietnamese farmers access premium markets in Europe, Japan, the United States, and Canada. Producers benefit from higher selling prices, improved incomes, and participation in sustainable agricultural value chains, while also protecting the environment and supporting local economic growth.
These efforts align Vietnam with global trends favoring eco-friendly and safe food, elevate the Vietnamese rice brand, and contribute to worldwide sustainable agriculture. By prioritizing certified organic rice, sustainable production, and advanced traceability, Vietnam demonstrates its commitment to supply the world’s most responsible, high-quality rice—building consumer confidence and competitive advantage in international markets.
