Vietnam Certifies 71,000 Tonnes of Low Emission Rice Under National Green Farming Programme

Vietnam certified 71,000 tonnes of low-emission rice from 18,000 hectares in the Mekong Delta under the Low Emission Green Vietnamese Rice label, part of the national One Million Hectare Programme targeting high-quality, low-emission rice by 2030. Eight exporters now ship certified rice globally, making Vietnam the first country to scale low-emission rice exports with strict traceability, water/fertilizer management, and cultivation protocols verified by local/international bodies. The initiative emphasizes farmer behavior change, cooperative reform, and media storytelling to drive adoption, positioning Vietnam’s rice sector for climate-aligned trade amid global decarbonization pressures.
