A major challenge in implementing the 1 million ha of high-quality rice project is the need for around $ 2.1 billion by 2030 to apply new production processes in agriculture, forestry, and land use.
Therefore, both domestic and international experts suggest that farmers and cooperatives need to follow low-emission rice production processes. At the same time, government agencies need to continue supporting farmers and cooperatives in applying technology, techniques, and machinery, and investing in infrastructure effectively.
To successfully implement the project, Vietnam needs a significant effort not only from the government but also from businesses, cooperatives, and directly involved farmers to mobilize investment resources from society as a whole.
Mr. Nguyen Do Anh Tuan, Director of the International Cooperation Department (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), emphasized that rice production is a traditional and important sector in Vietnam, providing livelihoods for tens of millions of farmers across the country.
Access to finance is a key factor helping farmers and businesses, cooperatives in the rice value chain to invest in new technologies, improve production processes, and enhance economic efficiency.
Post-harvest stages also need attention, with investments in techniques and machinery to maximize income from straw, as this is also a significant source of revenue for farmers and cooperatives.
"The trend of using low-carbon, environmentally friendly products is creating market advantages and increasing the export value of low-emission products. Moreover, according to calculations, revenue from selling straw from the 1 million ha of high-quality low-emission rice project in the Mekong Delta region will be equivalent to about VND 2,000 billion/year. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the value of straw to boost income for farmers", Mr Tuan shared.
