Low-carbon rice production helps Việt Nam meet emission target
Moving to low-carbon rice production offers the highest potential for Việt Nam to meet its goal of cutting methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030 while boosting the competitiveness of a strategic export item, according to a new World Bank report, titled “Spearheading Việt Nam’s Green Agricultural Transformation: Moving to Low-Carbon Rice”.
Rice, which is Việt Nam’s most important crop and is grown on more than half of its agricultural land area, accounts for 48 percent of the agriculture sector’s GHG emissions and over 75 percent of methane emissions.
