Binh Thuan province is known for its strong agricultural production. Currently, agriculture plays a very important role in the province's socio -economic development. However, in the past, rice cultivation in the province for many years focused on increasing productivity, leading to the overuse of inorganic fertilizers, chemical pesticides, burying straw in the fields, or burning fields... This increased the emission of greenhouse gases and water vapor. Therefore, sustainable organic rice cultivation, applying advanced technology and mechanization, is a new direction in agriculture. The aim is to reduce emissions of polluting gases and create conditions for Vietnam to participate in the carbon credit market in the future.
