Tan Long Group exports Japonica rice under the AAn brand to the Japanese market.

“The event affirms the position of AAn rice as a Vietnamese rice brand that passes inspection standards in one of the most stringent markets in the world, contributing to increasing the value of Vietnamese agricultural products in the international market,” said a representative of Tan Long Group.

According to Mr. Yoshino Takeshi, CEO of Kiraboshi Bank, there are currently nearly 600,000 Vietnamese people living and working in Japan, creating a great demand for domestic products, including Vietnamese rice. In addition, Japan is facing a domestic rice shortage, so finding an alternative source of rice is urgent.

Japonica AAn rice has similarities with Japanese rice, so it is also considered a potential substitute product. “Through the joint activities between businesses of the two countries like today, Vietnamese rice will certainly have many advantages in expanding in the Japanese market,” said Mr. Yoshino Takeshi.

Previously, in June 2022, AAn rice successfully exported ST25 rice to Japan for the first time and was used as the main ingredient in fried rice served to officials at the cabinet office there.
