With an annual rice output of 24 million tons a year, or half of Vietnam’s total, the Mekong Delta has been given the responsibility of ensuring food security for the country over several decades, which is both a "destiny" and a "tragedy," according to a recent report by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and the Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management. "We need to release the region of the food security mission to reduce its dependence on rice. No country gets rich by growing rice. It is given the destiny to grow rice and because of that it has become poor," said Vu Thanh Tu Anh, director of the school, at the release of the Annual Mekong Delta Economic Report 2022.

The effect is acutely felt in Vietnam's northern province of Thai Nguyen, one of Samsung's two mobile manufacturing bases in the country where the world's largest smartphone vendor churns out half of its phone output, according to the Vietnam government. Samsung, which shipped around 270 million smartphones in 2021, says the campus has the capacity to make around 100 million devices a year, according to its website. "We are going to work just three days per week, some lines are adjusting to a four-day workweek instead of six before, and of course no overtime is needed," Pham Thi … [Read more...] about Samsung workers in Vietnam bear brunt of slowdown in global demand for electronics
