Anthony McFarlane, SunRice’s Head of Corporate Affairs, was speaking at a meeting with Vietnamese Ambassador to Australia Pham Hung Tam in Canberra on Thursday. 

In recent years, SunRice has collaborated with the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) to research new high-yield rice varieties for cultivation in Vietnam and export to markets such as Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and others, McFarlane said. They have also focused on raising farmers' awareness about the rice value chain, reducing pesticide residues, and promoting the development of biochar.

Ambassador Tam encouraged SunRice to contribute to Vietnam’s project on planting 1 million hectares of high-quality, low-emission rice, adding that the Embassy is ready to facilitate its operation in Vietnam, aiming for outcomes beneficial to both sides.
