Ong Cua ST25 Rice (Rice - Shrimp Farming System)

The ST25 rice variety, developed by Engineer Ho Quang Cua, was recognized as the "World's Best Rice" in 2019, 2023, and 2025 at the World Rice Conference.

Ong Cua ST25 rice is cultivated using the rice-shrimp farming model: rice is grown in brackish water during the rainy season, following the dry-season shrimp farming cycle (rotating one rice crop with one shrimp crop). The rice thrives primarily on natural nutrients remaining in the soil after the shrimp harvest.

Cultivation follows safety protocols to ensure a healthy environment for the shrimp within the rice fields and for the subsequent shrimp farming season.

Ong Cua ST25 Rice - Shrimp ("World's Best Rice" 2019 & 2023) is packaged in 5kg bags; a standard factory carton contains 5 bags, totaling 25kg.

When cooked, the rice is soft and fragrant, offering a distinctive, appealingly sweet and chewy flavor. It retains its soft texture and aroma even after cooling.
