From Subsistence to Commercial Rice Production in Laos

The rice sector in Laos is in a "sticky situation" in several senses. First, Laos is considered the centre of origin of glutinous or sticky rice (Muto et al. 2016) and this type of rice still accounts for around 90% of production (Schiller et al. 2006; Mullen et al. 2019).Second, of the four countries considered in this volume, Laos has suffered the most from variability in rice
