Glutinous Rice – the essence of what it means to be Lao

Small-scale rice farming is the single most important economic activity in Laos, accounting for 70% of the total cultivated area, and one-fifth of total GDP. Historically, the people of Laos have grown glutinous (“sticky”) rice and this remains the bedrock of the industry, accounting for 90% of all output.

Rice Seeds

IDP has established its own rice seed farm and seed processing plant to control the raw materials and consistently deliver the best quality, for the benefit of both the Lao rice industry and hundreds of thousands of Lao families. More than 2,000 tons of seeds are processed per year in the largest and most advanced facility in the country.

Glutinous

Glutinous rice, popularly know as “sticky rice” has been the mainstay of rice cultivation and consumption in Laos going back over hundreds of years. IDP is one of the world’s major producers of glutinous rice and we source rice from thousands of local farmers, carefully selected to ensure a consistent, pesticide-free, premium quality grain that meets international standards.

Organic

IDP is committed to building an important organic rice business and we are heavily promoting its cultivation in a number of provincial districts, working in close collaboration with over 2,000 farmers operating on 4,000 hectares of land. Through this initiative, we are able provide a wide range of organic varieties including Jasmine, Glutinous and Black rice.

Na Lao

While IDP is primarily a wholesale supplier of top quality rice to many different customers, we are also developing our own brand, known as Na Lao (“Lao paddy field”).

The Na Lao brand offers a range of the finest rice products, including glutinous, jasmine and organic jasmine rice in 1 to 20 kg bags.
