Vietnam's ST25 rice named the world's best rice
This is the third time Vietnam’s Ong Cua ST25 has claimed the prestigious title, following previous wins in 2019 and 2023.
Japanese fond of ST25 rice
According to the Vietnam Trade Office in Japan, Japanese people are looking to buy Vietnamese rice, especially ST25 rice, which was rated the world’s best in 2019, to enrich their diets. But penetrating into the Japanese market will be problematic as there are no preferences for rice imported from the country.
