Chi Minh Rice Worm: The Symphony of Heaven and Earth and the Desire to Reach Out to the World
Day 6 month 6 year 2026, in Chi Minh commune, a bright sunny day, The atmosphere in the riverside land is more bustling than ever. Event "Organic Rice Festival and trade promotion of agricultural products, OCOP products” is not simply a trade promotion event, but it is a festival of gratitude, the inheritance and pride of a farming community that is pioneering the trend of sustainable green agriculture.
"Heaven's fortune" from the "heavenly" mindset
The story of Chi Minh rice worm does not start with modern machinery, which starts from listening to the voice of nature. Worm – The creature is known as the "earth dragon", Extremely sensitive to chemicals and environmental pollution. Before, Worms are only considered "heaven's blessings" bestowed by water. But the people of Chi Minh did not stop there. They have turned traditional rice fields into a circular ecosystem, where the worm and the rice plant live in symbiosis, grow up together.
This transformation is deeply historical. The video at the beginning of the program recalled the difficult early days. Chi Minh people recall Mr. Tran Van Quan's enthusiasm – Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee, who was still the Director of Hai Duong Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (old) had a breakthrough initiative: Construction of Oak Culvert. It is the regulation of river water from outside the dike into the fields that has created miraculous changes, transforming difficult-to-cultivate land into organic production areas of up to now large scale 1700 rich hectares, of which Chi Minh commune alone has it 478 hectares of rice production combined with sandworm exploitation, plow, annual supply of approx 2.400 tons of organic and magnetic rice 500 – 600 tons of worms, commercial fish. Average revenue reached from 500 – 600 million dong / ha / year, Profits from 350 – 450 million dong / ha / year, many times higher than traditional rice production. This ecosystem creates a sustainable, "natural" agricultural whole.

Therefore, Rice growing areas absolutely do not use pesticides, chemical fertilizers or stimulants). The land is "plowed" by sandworms., Creates natural porosity. Due to absorbing essence from a special symbiotic environment, Rice grains contain exceptionally high nutritional content (Vitamin A, B1, B6, B12, Omega 3-6-9…). Bao Minh also applies "Fresh rice" philosophy by the method "Sell wherever, grind there".

Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan – The Director of New Generation Agriculture Joint Stock Company is a typical example of new-age agricultural thinking.

“When Chi Minh rice was labeled organic at major supermarkets in Europe, I know I have succeeded. Not a profitable success, but success when affirming the brand of Vietnamese farmers", Mr. Tuan confided. His story is also an affirmation about the future: Vietnamese agricultural products are completely capable of conquering the most demanding customers if we follow the right path of sustainable agriculture.
Towards a sustainable future
The rice festival in Chi Minh commune has ended, But its echoes will still spread. With close guidance from the government, support from experts, the companionship of businesses like Bao Minh and the determination of farmers like Mr. Tuan, Mr. Luan (New Generation Agriculture Joint Stock Company), Mr. Trung (Hai Au Viet Investment Joint Stock Company – The unit owns the Kien Quoc Rice and Tet Vua Rice brands)... is not only an agricultural landmark but is becoming a symbol of the transformation of Vietnam's new rural areas.
Chi Minh rice worm is not just rice grains, It is the symphony of heaven and earth, river silt and the desire to reach the world. The road ahead still has many challenges, but with a solid foundation today, We have the right to believe in a bright future for the "specialty" land 5 this "star"..
