Vietnam
Jasmine Rice is a kind of high-quality rice which is widespread cultivated in
Vietnamese fields. Named after the sweet-smelling jasmine flower of Southeast
Asia (in Vietnamese: Hoa Lai),
jasmine rice has a unique nutty aroma similar to the smell of jasmine. The
grain is silky, shiny-white and smooth. Especially, Vietnam Long Grain Jasmine
Rice has average length of kernel from 6.2mm up to 7.2mm. While cooked, it
releases a naturally distinctive scent. After cooked, it is soft, fluffy and
less sticky than other kinds of rice. Among high-quality kinds of rice, jasmine
rice is most preferred and eaten the most by Asians.
Rice
production in Vietnam in the Mekong and Red River deltas is important to the
food supply in the country and national economy. Vietnam is one of world's
richest agricultural regions and is the second-largest (after Thailand)
exporter worldwide and the world's seventh-largest consumer of rice. The Mekong
Delta is the heart of the rice producing region of the country where water,
boats, houses and markets coexist to produce a generous harvest of rice.
Vietnam's land area of 33 million ha has three ecosystems that dictate rice
culture. These are the southern delta (with its Mekong Delta dominating rice
coverage), the northern delta (the tropical monsoon area with cold winters) and
the highlands of the north (with upland rice varieties). The most prominent irrigated
rice system is the Mekong Delta. Rice is a staple of the national diet and is
seen as a "gift from God".
