"Sowing TBR16 is sure to be a hit, uncle!", old farmer Tran Kha Ly in My Thuan commune (An Giang) smiled brightly when talking about the last crop. "I tried planting 1 hectare of TBR16, the rice grew evenly, had firm ears, and was disease-free. The rice was very white, beautiful as a dream. Next year I will switch all the acreage to this variety!"
 

The new generation TBR16 - Japonica rice variety researched and created by ThaiBinh Seed has been affirming its position in the Mekong Delta thanks to its outstanding advantages:

Short growing period: only 100-105 days, helping farmers easily avoid drought and salinity, and conveniently arrange crop schedules.

Healthy, disease-free plants reduce the need for spraying pesticides, thus saving costs, protecting farmers' health and the environment, and combating climate change.
 

Good resistance, stable productivity, especially in increasingly erratic weather conditions like today.

TBR16 rice has semi-round grains, beautiful bright color, when cooked, the rice is soft, lightly fragrant, rich in flavor, very delicious to eat. The milling indexes also meet high requirements: the rice hull ratio is from 78-85%, the head rice ratio is high, very suitable for domestic consumption and serving the export market.
 

TBR16 is not just a new rice variety - but a new opportunity for rice growers in the Mekong Delta in particular and farmers across the country in general to improve economic efficiency, towards sustainable and modern farming.
