Dong Thap (VNA) - A ceremony was held in My Dong commune in Thap Muoi district of Dong Thap province on June 12 to kick start a project to develop 1 million hectares of high-quality low-emission rice associated with green growth in the Mekong Delta Region.

On this occasion, the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and its agencies launched the exemplary model of rice production in Dong Thap province.

Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Van Vu Minh said that Dong Thap is among five localities in the Mekong Delta Region that the agriculture ministry has chosen to develop exemplary models for the project on 1 million hectare of high-quality and low-emission rice production.

The model in Dong Thap will be implemented in the area of 50 ha at Thang Loi Agricultural Service Cooperative in My Dong commune.

Le Van Chan, Deputy Director of the province’s Sub-department of Crop Production and Plant Protection, said that Dong Thap strives to have about 20,000 ha of rice included in the high-quality low-emission rice project in 2024, mainly in the districts of Hong Ngu, Tan Hong, Cao Lanh, Tam Nong, Thanh Binh, and Thap Muoi and Hong Ngu city.

The area is expected to expand to 50,000 ha by 2025 and to 161,000 ha by 2030.

Rice production is the main and key industry of Dong Thap province. With a rice production area of 480,000 - 500,000 ha, the province produces over 3.3 million tonnes yearly.

Dong Thap - one of four provinces with large rice cultivation areas in the Mekong Delta - has favourable conditions to apply advanced production techniques./.
