The roundtable discussion "Digital Transformation and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Management for the Development of High-Quality, Low-Emission Rice Production in the Mekong Delta" was held on June 22, 2026, in An Giang Province to promote transparent rice production and enhance competitiveness in the global green market. At the event, experts emphasized that sustainable farming practices, such as Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) and rice straw management, must be digitized through a standardized Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system to demonstrate genuine emission reductions. The event also presented convincing results from pilot models in An Giang and Dong Thap provinces, showing that these technological solutions significantly reduce input costs, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and increase farmers' profits. Looking ahead, participants agreed on key priorities, including strengthening digital data infrastructure, enhancing digital capacities for community extension services and cooperatives, and building sustainable rice value chains with gradual access to carbon markets.
