Achivements and Disadvantages of The Application of High Productivity Rice in Mekong Delta
The rapid application of new rice varieties from the Green Revolution (CMX) has brought outstanding achievements to Vietnam in general and the Cuu Long in particular: the rice varieties bred to be shorter time crops, high productivity and quality as Jasmine 85, OM CS 2000, NVD 95-20, OM 4900, OM...

| Summary: | The rapid application of new rice varieties from the Green Revolution (CMX) has
brought outstanding achievements to Vietnam in general and the Cuu Long in
particular: the rice varieties bred to be shorter time crops, high productivity and
quality as Jasmine 85, OM CS 2000, NVD 95-20, OM 4900, OM 4218, OM 2517,
ST5... making Vietnam become the second biggest rice exporter in the world.
Furthermore, Vietnam has been making a tremendous progess in intensive farming
compared to other countries in the region.
However, the Green Revolution (CMX)’s disadvantage is positively visible. The
biodiversity of rice varieties has been narrowed down; the natural ecological regions
would have eventually vanished;there would be big changes for genetic resistance or the
interaction between parasites and hosts, quality of soil, water and populations of
organisms in nature have negative effects. Therefore, to ensure yieldstability of rice
productivity and sustainability, we have to implement programs and solutions, many
supporting policies to achieve synchronization in production, in consumption, in the
citizen’s health protection, and in environment protection as well. |
