Since 2006 , in order to maintain a stable living for Vietnamese rice producers when the rice price falls sharply after harvest, the Government has implemented the policy on purchasing rice for storage twice a year to ensure rice producers get 30% profit at least. The article analyzes the policy on storage of rice, concentrating on the implementation process. Qualitative analysis method is used to assess the implementation of this policy in various aspects such as appropriateness, effectiveness, fairness and compatibility. The results allow authors to offer some recommendations that can serve as a basis for improvements in the implementation of this policy.
