“Straw is not a problem to be managed, but a solution to be exploited,” IRRI Country Representative for Việt Nam, Laos and Myanmar Robert Caudwell said.
Huỳnh Tấn Đạt, Director General of the ministry’s Plant Production and Protection Department, said by 2050, all major crop areas are expected to adopt low-emission cultivation practices.

In the first seven months of 2025, export turnover reached more than US$1.2 billion, an increase of 11 per cent year-on-year, underscoring the sector’s strong momentum.
