Mekong Delta farmers reap rewards from sustainable rice farming

Sustainable rice farming models in Mekong Delta localities have delivered promising results, taking strides toward more eco-friendly and profitable agriculture, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development told a meeting in Soc Trang province on September 4. The seven pilot models, carried out under a plan on sustainably developing 1 million ha of high-quality and low-emission rice cultivation in the region, are underway in Kien Giang, Soc Trang, Tra Vinh and Dong Thap provinces, along with Can Tho city. Results from the recent summer-autumn crop reveal a surge in productivity. Higher productivity is accompanied by a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
