Mekong Delta expanding advanced technologies in rice cultivation
This morning, the Vietnam Rice Industry Association convened a forum in Can Tho City to discuss strategies for replicating successful pilot models from the project aimed at the sustainable development of one million hectares of high-quality, low-emission rice cultivation linked to green growth in the Mekong Delta by 2030.
Forum participants emphasized the imperative of compiling a comprehensive dataset encompassing soil conditions, plant nutrition, infrastructure, and straw management to optimize rice farming systems and promote high-quality, low-emission rice production. They noted that numerous provinces currently rely on basic quantitative data, which impedes efficient investment allocation. To address this, universities and research institutes should actively participate in the project to collaboratively develop a comprehensive and accurate database.
