After two years of implementing the 1-million-hectare high-quality, low-emission rice project in the Mekong Delta, many positive signs have been recorded, especially regarding economic and environmental efficiency. However, the challenge of linking production to consumption remains a bottleneck, creating an urgent need to reorganise production according to a sustainable value chain.

A conference was held in Vi Thanh Ward, Can Tho Province on March 8 to review two years of implementing the Project on sustainable development of one million hectares of high-quality and low-emission rice cultivation associated with green growth in the Mekong Delta by 2030.
