Lao farmers, even if they have good paddy land, they also prefer to grow some "mountain" rice, rice that is planted on hill sides and only irragated by rain fall. There's a lot of weeding that needs to be done and here you can see a Lao farmer chopping off tree seedlings. The Lao have sophisticated rice palates, and they can tell a distinct difference between paddy rice and mountain rice, both in the smell of the uncooked rice, the rice as it is steaming, and when it is eaten.

The Huay Sawn Huay Sua Agricultural Research and Development centre under HM the King of Thailands initiative is located in Na Saithong in the Vientiane city, Lao People's Democratic Republic. The centre was established since 1994. It has been conducting studies and developing a new theory of agricultural development. The new theory of agricultural practice introduced integration of agricultural work in crop planting, livestock, & fisheries together. The successful outcome of the development is used as model for Laotian agriculturalists to apply and lead to comfortable living with good quality of life. An obvious example falls on a 52 year old farmer at Na Sai Khao village in Vientiane city, Muay Sihawong, who has been successfully applying the theory in farming in a few rai plots of land. The land is wisely utilized being divided into rice farmland with water system, while the pond near home is full of fish. Water sources also feed varieties of fruit trees. Every square inch of the farm is also a source of feeding for poultry like chicken and ducks. The produce is available all year round and they can feed their family plus use some for commercial purposes. I started my farm in 2001 on my own with a rice field and some fish ponds. It did not work well then and was not enough to feed my family. Four or five years ago the centre stepped in to support and guide me. It educated and introduced me to the integrated farming. I do rice farming, fish, ducks, and chicken all ...

From: www.youtube.com September 14, 2010 According to the United Nations some 40 per cent of children under the age of five are severely undernourished in Laos, because of a lack of protein in their diets. But food charities are hoping that a move towards insect farming in the country could help overcome the problem. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation, which is supporting efforts in Laos, says bugs contain a high protein and vitamin content.

Taken in Bokeo Province, Laos, on July 19th 2010. So far the rainy season had been so dry farmers were worried they wouldn't be able to harvest any rice this year. Fortunately it rained on the 17th and 18th, and everyone was out in full force on the 19th to capitalize on the recent rainfall.

Laos recently hosted the Southeast Asian Games for the first time ever, a move that gained it prestige and perhaps just as importantly an economic boost. As VOA's Daniel Schearf reports from the capital Vientiane, the landlocked farming nation depends on exporting natural resources but it increasingly expects tourism to play a larger economic role.

Small rice farms are the social and cultural heart of Lao society. Enhancing Milled Rice Production in Lao PDR (EMRIP) project has facilitated to develop fair trading linkages between 21361 rice farming households and 21 rice mills within less than 2 years of project duration. This has resulted into significant improvement in income of both small holder farmers and rice mills due to good quality rice and improved production yield. The project was jointly implemented by SNV and Helvetas in Lao PDR with major funding support from EC Food Facility Programme from Jan 2010 to Nov 2011.
