Tridge summary

Vietnamese provinces, Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan, have adopted water-saving irrigation models, including the '1 must 5 decrease' model for rice production and drip irrigation systems for upland crops, helping to reduce water usage, lower production costs, and increase crop productivity. These techniques, part of high-tech and intensive farming practices, have shown initial success in improving the economic well-being of farmers and are being widely adopted in the Central Highlands. The provinces are also experimenting with crops like green asparagus and aloe vera, which are drought-tolerant and profitable, contributing to the greening of bare hills and providing alternative income sources for local communities. These efforts are part of a larger strategy to adapt to climate change, conserve water resources, and enhance the value chain of agricultural products in Vietnam.

Efficient use of water resources Over the past few years, Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan have implemented many water-saving irrigation models with high efficiency. In Ninh Thuan province, in the years 2016-2020, the model of rice production according to "1 must 5 decrease" has played an important role in saving irrigation water.This is a technical solution that contributes to reducing production costs and reducing production costs. minimize environmental pollution, save water for irrigation, increase productivity, quality and profit for farmers, towards intensive farming according to "good agricultural practice - GAP". For upland crops, in 2007-2018, from many local capital sources, models of applying water-saving technology in upland crop production with a total area of more than 1,100ha were deployed. In Binh Thuan province, which is known as the "capital" of dragon fruit of Vietnam, people are also actively installing drip irrigation systems to save water, with an area of about ...
