On July 3rd, the Tan Long Cooperative (Vinh Tuong commune, Vi Thuy district, Hau Giang province), in collaboration with Net Zero Carbon Joint Stock Company and several related enterprises, organized a conference to summarize the alternating wet and dry smart rice cultivation model (AWD) combined with measurement and purchase of emission reduction reports.
The model was implemented at Tan Long Cooperative during the summer-autumn 2024 rice crop, planting OM18 rice seeds on 4.2 ha for comparison with 1 ha of control fields cultivated using traditional methods by local farmers.
In this model, participating farmers meticulously followed 9 stages of the smart rice cultivation process, monitored and managed by Spiro Carbon's satellite. After over 3 months of implementation, the rice in the model was ready for harvest.
According to the implementing unit's evaluation, the model has brought many positive outcomes for farmers. Specifically, the rice yield in the model reached nearly 8 tons/ha, with an investment cost of around nearly $ 900/ha and profits of over $ 1,400/ha. In contrast, the control fields using traditional methods achieved a yield of nearly 6 tons/ha, with an investment cost of over $ 900 million/ha and profits of nearly $ 800/ha.

In addition to increasing productivity, reducing investment costs, and boosting profits for farmers, the alternating wet and dry smart rice cultivation model also contributes to reducing emissions and protecting the environment through strict implementation of practices such as reduced water usage, decreased fertilizer application, and reduced pesticide spraying frequencies.
During field surveys, many farmers noted that fields practising the model had shiny yellow grains, fewer instances of lodging, and significantly fewer empty husks compared to control fields.
Based on these achievements, both farmers within and outside the model are encouraged to adopt these practices in upcoming rice seaso
