(ABO) On the morning of June 8, at My Thanh Bac Agricultural Service Cooperative, My Thanh Bac commune, Cai Lay district, the Department of Agriculture and Environment (DARD) of Tien Giang province in collaboration with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) organized a demonstration tour of the model "High-quality rice cultivation and emission reduction - solutions for sowing in rows and combining buried fertilizer in the summer-autumn crop 2025" (referred to as the Program).

Attending the program were comrades: Vo Hien Duc, specialist of the Southern Center for Cultivation and Plant Protection - Ministry of Agriculture and Environment; Nguyen Van Hieu, lecturer of Tien Giang University, IRRI consultant; Nguyen Thi Ngoc Ha, IRRI specialist; along with representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, localities, enterprises, cooperatives and farmers participating in the model.

Delegates visited the demonstration model "High-quality rice cultivation and emission reduction - solution of sowing in rows and combining buried fertilizer in the summer-autumn crop 2025".

The model "High-quality rice cultivation and emission reduction - sowing solutions and combined fertilization in the summer-autumn crop 2025" with an area of ​​50 hectares in My Thanh Bac commune, Cai Lay district. The model is a practical basis for propaganda and mobilizing farmers to boldly apply, join hands to build a specialized area for high-quality and low-emission rice cultivation associated with reorganizing the production system according to the value chain, applying sustainable farming processes to increase value and sustainable development of the rice industry.

Demonstration of the model "High-quality rice cultivation and emission reduction - solution of sowing in rows and combining fertilization in the summer-autumn crop 2025".

Speaking at the Program, Comrade Vo Van Men, Head of the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection of Tien Giang province, said that in order to successfully implement the pilot model of "High-quality rice cultivation and emission reduction - solutions for sowing rows and combining fertilization in the summer-autumn crop 2025", there needs to be close coordination between specialized agencies of the Tien Giang province's Department of Agriculture and IRRI. Localities and related units need to closely follow the local pilot model to promptly adjust what is unreasonable and pay attention to monitoring and collecting data to form a set of documents to disseminate and propagate the model of high-quality rice production, low emissions associated with actual local conditions... to replicate and develop the model in the upcoming rice crops, especially the winter-spring crop 2025 - 2026.

Comrade Vo Van Men, Head of the Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection of Tien Giang province spoke at the Program.

Farmers are the core component that determines the success of the model "High-quality rice cultivation and emission reduction - solution of sowing rows and combining fertilization in the summer-autumn crop 2025", so it is necessary to be determined, bold and comply with the production process under the guidance of technical staff throughout the production season. Based on the pilot model with an area of ​​50 hectares in My Thanh Bac commune, pay attention to expanding the model in the direction of contiguous plots and plots associated with ensuring irrigation conditions and infrastructure for production according to the Project "Sustainable development of 1 million hectares of high-quality, low-emission rice cultivation associated with green growth in the Mekong Delta region by 2030".

Strengthening the call for enterprises to cooperate in production and purchase rice for farmers in the model "High-quality rice cultivation and emission reduction - sowing and fertilization solutions in the summer-autumn crop 2025" and have strict contracts. Strengthening propaganda on mass media about the results of the model to raise people's awareness.

In addition, comrade Vo Van Men is looking forward to continued support and facilitation from many units such as: IRRI; Southern Center for Cultivation and Plant Protection; the support of enterprises supplying machinery, input materials, rice production and trading enterprises to form a supply chain and consume rice products in the production area.
