Farmers in Ban Ha hamlet, Muong Chieng commune (Da Bac) are harvesting J02 rice in spring crop.

Ms. Xa Thi Thuy in Na Nguom village is with her husband and daughter harvesting J02 rice of spring season. Ms. Thuy said: In the past, these people often grew the varieties of 838 or BC15 purebred rice, etc. These varieties’ yields are equal to or less than Japanese rice variety, the rice is quite harder and needed to handle with pests. Since we used the J02 seedlings, those drawbacks have been overcome. Especially, when the rice are cooked, it is sticky, tasty and soft, which is more suitable to the customers’ tastes.

Being tested of growing in Muong Chieng commune about 4 years ago, J02 is a pure Japonica rice variety originated from Japan which was imported and selected by the Institute of Agricultural Genetics, Vietnam High Technology joint Stock Company had the monopoly to export and distribute. At that time, the model was implemented in 4 hamlets of Na Muong, Na Nguom, Ban Ha and Na Phang with 50 households. The farmers in the model said that this is high quality rice of superiority. The production process after 8 seasons, the farmers find that the rice grows and develops well, the stiffness of the rice, the resistance to be bended, cold resistance and pest resistance are all good,  with higher yield than some other pure variety, the average productivity is 65 quintals / hectare.

At present, J02 rice variety has been found in many fields of this upland district from Dong Chum, Muong Chieng, Giap Dat, Tan Pheo to Doan Ket, Cao Son, Hao Ly and Tu Ly, etc. This confirms the achievement and expansion of the model.

The District People's Committee has also developed and submitted procedures for J02 specialty rice to be certified as a collective mark. At present, the consumption market of this kind of rice is wide open, with large consumer demand. J02 rice is in harvesting crop, ending the growing time of 135 - 140 days. At the district's agricultural stall located in Dong Tien Ward (Hoa Binh city), customers are crowded to come and buy J02 rice with the price of 20,000 VND / kg.
