Vietnam primarily has a rice-based agricultural economy. Rice is cultivated on 82% of the arable land and provides 80% of carbohydrate, and 40% of the protein intake of the average Vietnamese. The two rich deltas of the north and south - Red River and Mekong, respectively – are responsible for most of the rice. The Mekong River delta accounts for 52% and Red River delta another 18% of Vietnam’s rice.
Vietnam Food Association (VFA) data shows that rice exports from Vietnam in 2012 reached a record high of 7.7 million tons, thereby maintaining its place as the world’s second largest rice exporter, following only India.
