Due to an increasing demand of high quality rice in Vietnam and with the aim to support farmers in cultivating rice in Do Luong, Nghe An, the TH Group and Vinh University collaborated with the local farmers and the local authorities to develop high yield and high-quality rice. The TH Group supported in both finance and product-sale, as well as supervising and evaluating the effectiveness of the project. Vinh University directly investigated, and selected location to deploy the project, as well as training and supervising cultivation methodology to the farmers. The local authorities cooperated in overseeing and tracking the methodology and milestones of the project that was carried out by the farmers, and also delivered and sold the final products following standard procedures. The cultivation using the advanced Vietgap model was implemented during the spring season in 2017 in three villages Yen Son, Thinh Son and Hoa Son, with a total area of cultivation of 10ha. Through the cooperation, the farmers equipped with the new methodology, skill-set, and know-how to effectively manage their paddy field with clean water and nutrient soil. The final products were consumed 100% with the price above 1.4 to 1.5 times higher than the standard one, which significantly increased the incomes of local farmers. Keywords: Rice, Vietgap, high quality rice, four-party cooperation.
