Gia Lai province has expanded low-emission rice cultivation to nearly 1,700 hectares, exceeding its 2026 target and strengthening its preparations to participate in domestic and international carbon credit markets through reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Decree No. 180/2026/NĐ-CP on forest carbon sequestration and storage services is being viewed as a major milestone for the development of Vietnam’s forest carbon market.
An alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation model deployed across eastern communes during the 2025-2026 winter-spring crop has significantly reduced emissions, saved water and improved rice yields, according to provincial agricultural authorities.
Gia Lai province is accelerating its transition to low-emission agriculture, targeting carbon credit markets and long-term sustainability as part of its commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
