There have been 500 black star trees, 1,500 Lagerstroemia trees and 300 Sao Dau trees planted along the bypass of Thoi Lai town - Can Tho city and Ben Nhut route, Long Thanh commune, Giong Rieng district, Kien Giang province. Along with that, about 11 tons of waste, packaging, and used pesticide packaging were collected by people to the collection point for treatment.
These activities contribute to spreading green lifestyle, raising awareness of environmental protection, and building new rural areas. Farmers participate in training sessions, instructions on the correct, safe and responsible use of pesticides, and the collection of used pesticide packaging.
Through training sessions, Syngenta contributes to changing awareness, helping farmers use pesticides in compliance with the "4 rights" principle, effectively manage pests, while still ensuring the health of themselves, their families and the community, protecting the environment; products meet food safety and hygiene standards for export.
