According to the 2024 crop plan, Thanh Hoa will cultivate 152 thousand hectares, including nearly 113 thousand hectares of rice. To increase production value per unit area, the agricultural sector builds a rice variety structure according to market demand.

Currently, the province has about 20 enterprises producing and trading rice seeds and distributing them through a system of hundreds of agents and cooperatives. From May 20 to June 20, 2024, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Thanh Hoa province organized an interdisciplinary inspection team to control and collect samples to check seed sources at production, trading and seed supply units, preventing crop failure due to seed quality.
