Value adding key to pepper trade - Economy - VietNam News: The VPA said though Viet Nam accounted for 50 per cent of total global pepper exports, the value was much lower than it could be because the country's export prices were much lower than others'.

The record prices the country got last year of $7,000 a tonne for black pepper and $10,000 for white pepper were still just 90 per cent of global rates.

Love Your Heart with U.S. - Grown Rice - Farm Progress

Love Your Heart with U.S. - Grown Rice - Farm Progress: Studies show the science behind heart-healthy rice. Brown rice is a 100% whole grain food, while white rice is enriched in B vitamins and fortified with folic acid, which has been shown in studies to help maintain a healthy heart. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) diets rich in whole grain foods, such as brown rice and other plant foods, and low in total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol, may help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. Furthermore, the American Heart Association reports evidence that low blood levels of folic acid are linked with a higher risk of fatal coronary heart disease and stroke.
