Abstract: Vietnam faces a grain drying and storage problem common to many developing nations with extensive plantings of new high-yielding, early maturing varieties. Sharp increases in yields, with some wet season harvests, bring into sharp focus the need for new grain drying methods. The attached study analyzes the drying problem associated with Vietnam's accelerated rice pro? duction program. It recommends solutions. Much of the analysis and many of the recommendations contained in this report are relevant to other nations where high yielding rices are being introduced.
