A storage system capable of storing up to 4 million tonnes of paddy rice
in the Mekong Delta is expected to be operational by the end of this
year, after three years of construction.
Located in 52 locations
in 13 Mekong Delta provinces and cities and Ho Chi Minh City,
storages will be operated mechanically and automatically, enhancing
productivity and controlling technical parameters during the process of
rice preservation.
Once being put into operation, the system will
help buy up rice among local growers and reduce after-harvest loss,
thus ensuring stable rice production and supply as well as raising
efficiency in performance of rice producers, processors and exporters.-VNA
