In Thai language|Thai, Laotian language|Lao and Isan language|Isaan, sticky rice is kao neaw: "kao" means rice, and "neaw" means sticky. The improved rice varieties that swept through Asia during the Green Revolution were non-glutinous types and Lao farmers rejected them in favour of their traditional sticky varieties. Gradually though, improved higher-yield strains of sticky rice became available from the Laotian National Rice Research Programme. By 1999, more than 70% of the area along the Mekong River Valley was of the newer strains.
