Straw management solutions in the field combined with mechanization, improving soil health

Delegates perform the launching ceremony of the project to develop solutions for decomposing rice straw in the field to improve soil health and reduce emissions in rice cultivation.

The event was organized by the Vietnam Rice Industry Association (VIETRISA) in collaboration with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and Binh Dien Fertilizer Joint Stock Company. Mr. Nguyen Ngoc He, Vice Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee ... attended the event.

At the event, the parties officially launched the project to develop solutions to decompose straw in the fields to improve soil health and reduce emissions in rice cultivation. The project is implemented by Binh Dien Fertilizer Joint Stock Company in coordination with IRRI and related partners and units. The project focuses on researching and developing biological solutions to quickly decompose straw in the fields, improve soil health, return nutrients to the soil in a circular manner and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in rice cultivation. At the same time, training, technical guidance, helping farmers replicate models and transfer research results, contributing to the implementation of the Project on sustainable development of 1 million hectares of high-quality and low-emission rice, associated with green growth in the Mekong Delta by 2030 (Project on 1 million hectares of rice).

Demonstration of mechanization application combined with the use of Dau Trau Bio-Calcium fertilizer to decompose straw in the field to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in rice cultivation.

On the occasion of the project implementation, Binh Dien Fertilizer Joint Stock Company donated a smart water pumping station (using digital technology ) to the Mekong Delta Rice Research Institute. At the same time, the Company coordinated with IRRI and related units to organize a demonstration of mechanization combined with the use of Dau Trau Bio-Canxi fertilizer to decompose straw in the field to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in rice cultivation, at the rice field of the Mekong Delta Rice Research Institute. The rice field where the demonstration was held was also the place where the experimental model was implemented to confirm the benefits of Dau Trau Bio-Canxi fertilizer combined with straw burying.

The highlight of the event was the launch of the "Low-emission Green Vietnamese Rice" brand, marking a strategic turning point in building the Vietnamese rice brand, targeting the high-end market with strict standards on carbon emissions. The "Low-emission Green Vietnamese Rice" brand is not only a commercial brand but also a commitment to environmental and social responsibility.

Delegates witnessed the signing ceremony of cooperation between units.

At the launching ceremony, 6 enterprises were granted certificates of rights to use the "Low emission green Vietnamese rice" brand by VIETRISA. These are pioneering enterprises that have linked up with farmers and stakeholders to implement projects and models of high-quality and low-emission rice cultivation in recent times. Within the framework of the launching ceremony, a signing ceremony was held to strengthen the rice industry chain and cooperate in developing green technology between VIETRISA and the Food Association, and cooperation between Binh Dien Fertilizer Joint Stock Company and BioSpring on developing methane (CH4) decomposing microorganisms to reduce emissions in rice production.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc He emphasized that this event helps create conditions to enhance exchanges, cooperation and coordination between relevant parties and contribute to changing farmers' production methods, successfully implementing the 1 million hectare rice project. According to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc He, Can Tho is pioneering in green transformation with a rice cultivation area of ​​75,000 hectares and an annual output of over 1.3 million tons. The city has expanded the low-emission cultivation area to more than 30,000 hectares, with the goal of reaching 38,000 hectares by 2025 and 48,000 hectares by 2030.
