Luong Kim Ngan - Deputy Director of the Provincial Sub-Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection said that this summer-autumn rice crop, the whole province sowed more than 18,000ha of rice. The main varieties are: ML48, ML202, ML214, OM4900... Up to now, farmers in the whole province have basically finished harvesting, the average yield is about 61 quintals/ha, equivalent to previous years.
 
According to Luong Kim Ngan, with an annual rice area of about 40,000 hectares and an output of 240,000 tons, Khanh Hoa is not a main province for rice. However, the province received orders to produce seed and commercial rice by many companies, so there is stability in purchasing prices. This also gradually changes the farmer's point of view on rice production, which encourages them to produce according to orders. In addition, many cooperatives in Ninh Hoa, Van Ninh and Dien Khanh produce high-quality commercial rice, focusing on processing to increase added value for rice grains.
