Mr. Cua said that the current registration number to make Global Gap rice, VietGap only represents 1% of the area, so if you say so, 99% of the rice is … dirty. Meanwhile, for example, this year Vietnam exported a lot of rice to other countries.

“So with 90% of the rice so dirty, where does Vietnam get its rice for export?” – Mr. Krabs is angry.

Mr. Nguyen Nhu Cuong, Director of the Crop Production Department (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) also raised this point. According to Mr. Cuong, Vietnam is not only in a rice export market, but also faces stiff competition from Thai, Cambodian and Indian rice. Therefore, if the quality cannot be confirmed, Vietnamese rice will certainly not have as impressive export results as recently.

“Every year, Vietnam exports 6.5 to 6.7 million tons of rice. Any import market, be it high-end or intermediate, requires food safety, pesticide residue inspection. When they check the quality of food safety, they matter. If there is a problem, how can they accept it? “- said Mr. Cuong.

For this reason, the Director of the Crop Production Department emphasized that when there are comments about a productive industry important to farmers, it is necessary to have bases, precise scientific data and they should not have emotional comments.

This will affect the success and outstanding development of Vietnam’s rice industry in recent years. Even damaging the reputation of the Vietnamese rice grain that the agricultural sector, companies and farmers have built over the years.

Regarding the use of phytosanitary drugs on rice, Mr. Ho Quang Cua said that in the past 10 years, the MARD has banned many toxic phytosanitary drugs. The market is not selling anymore either. At the same time, farmers’ awareness of the future is better, so Vietnamese rice is now of much better quality than before.

Mr. Nguyen Quy Duong, Deputy Director of the Department of Plant Protection (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), agreed, also saying that in recent years, people’s habits of use and abuse of phytosanitary drugs have decreased more than before. much.

Farmers are very compliant with state agency pest control instructions. They also learn very carefully about which drugs are effective and safe for health, including the correct way to spray.

“If the rice is not guaranteed to be safe, only once the sample verification is not guaranteed, it will be very difficult to sell it from next time. So now, people pay a lot of attention to the quality of the rice.” . Our rice is basically safe “- said Mr. Duong.

What did Pham Thai Binh say about “dirty” rice and “clean” rice?

Some newspapers quote the statement of Mr. Pham Thai Binh, Managing Director of Trung An Hi-Tech Agricultural Joint Stock Company in the online seminar “Exporting Europe with EVFTA Advantages: What Vietnamese Products Need”. September 3 is as follows: “I would like to say that 90% of Vietnamese eat dirty rice, sometimes 90% is modest … Many people think that eating dirty rice does not die, but actually Vietnam is good. Nobody dies even eating dirty rice, however, in recent years, the rate of people suffering from cancer, diabetes, … has been increasing, with the contribution of dirty rice and medicine. plant protection accumulates in rice. “

To clarify the problem, we contacted Mr. Pham Thai Binh, Managing Director of Trung An Company. Mr. Binh said: “I say in the rice industry, that is, the rice that meets the standards of VietGap, Global Gap or higher is” clean rice “, and the rice that does not meet the above standards or more it is “dirty” rice. Pesticide residues in rice are dirty rice, but not dirty rice. “

According to Binh, the above information was mentioned at the EVFTA Advantages European Export Conference, which was held on September 3. Binh said the purpose of saying so is to warn consumers about using everyday foods to make them smart.

“The newspaper cut the article to shock the online community and blame me,” Binh said.
