Farmer sun-drying corn on a large bamboo tray, Vietnam.
In the recent years, farmers located in areas facing water shortages switched from rice to corn production.
Maturing period is shorter compared to rice and corn is more resistant to drought, allowing up to four crops a year, included in lacking water areas.
Mains variety such as Waxy and American corn are raised and will be used both to be eaten or to produce animal feed.
