Building Large-Scale Low-Emission Rice Value Chains

An Giang province is building large-scale, high-quality rice production models to reduce carbon emissions. The "Developing 1 million hectares of high-quality, low-emission rice" project aims to boost production efficiency and increase the value of agricultural products. This initiative creates economic opportunities for farmers, cooperatives, and businesses by establishing a chain from production to consumption. Farmers are adopting advanced techniques and ecological technology, limiting chemical use. Participating in the value chain ensures stable incomes for farmers and a reliable source of high-quality rice for businesses. Cooperatives play a crucial role by connecting farmers with businesses, facilitating large-scale production, and reducing costs. An Giang's efforts are improving rice yields, minimizing environmental impact, and enhancing the province's agricultural image for increased export opportunities. The province plans to expand production scale, improve rice varieties, and strengthen the application of environmentally friendly farming methods by 2025.
