Promote the formation and stable development of Cooperatives, Cooperative Groups, and farmer organizations making important contributions to the rice linkage chain in the province. Gradually increase the rate of production linked to consumption through each year of implementation. Building a typical rice industry value chain, serving as a model for rice field development in An Giang province until 2030.

The cultivated area of ​​the high-quality, low-emission rice-growing region strives to reach 44,051 hectares by 2025, based on the area of ​​the previous sustainable agricultural transformation project - VnSAT and replicated in favorable areas. will develop the area to 152,198 hectares by 2030.

Regarding production organization: 100% of production areas specializing in high-quality and low-emission rice cultivation have links between businesses and cooperative groups, cooperatives or farmer organizations in production and consumption. product; The synchronous mechanization rate reaches over 70% of the area; Over 100,000 households apply sustainable farming processes. Post-harvest loss rate is less than 8%; 100% of straw is collected from the fields and processed for reuse; Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by over 10% compared to traditional rice farming.
Regarding rice growers' income: the added value in the rice chain increased by 40%, of which the profit margin for rice growers reached over 50%.
Brand building and export: The amount of rice exported with high quality, low emission brands accounts for over 20% of the total rice export volume of the entire specialized farming region.
Strive to have 200 cooperatives/TCND and cooperative unions participating by 2030.
Mr. Tran Thanh Hiep, Deputy Director of An Giang Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said that the important goal of the project is not only to increase productivity and quality of rice but also to reduce costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and increase rice production. green growth, towards sustainable farming./.
