The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is about to complete a draft of the project to develop 1 million ha of low-emission high-quality rice in Vietnam, according to Deputy Minister Tran Thanh Nam. About 700,000 ha of rice nationwide has been registered to join the project once it’s approved, Nam said. The project is part of the activities to implement Vietnam’s Strategy for Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development in the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050. Among the strategy’s goals is to develop areas of qualified raw materials. Meanwhile, the project on 1 million hectare hi-quality rice will be among Vietnam’s efforts in realising the country’s commitment at COP 26 for net zero emissions by 2050. Currently, low-emission production models are applied on about 180,000 ha across Vietnam. VNA Photo: Thu Hiền
