The document asserts that in the 21st century, the value of Vietnamese rice is measured not only by yield but also by transparency, traceability, and the ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (CH4, N2O, CO2) to meet stringent international standards. Implementing the one-million-hectare high-quality, low-emission rice project requires a standardized Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system that combines field measurements with digital data infrastructure to accurately quantify carbon reduction. Digital transformation acts as a primary pillar, integrating IoT, remote sensing, and AI to optimize water management, fertilizer usage, and straw decomposition while creating verifiable "carbon profiles" for rice products. Ultimately, the document highlights the critical role of next-generation agricultural extension services in guiding farmers and cooperatives to operate digital systems, transforming production data into a competitive asset that ensures farmers directly benefit from carbon credit mechanisms.
