On March 3, the National Agricultural Promotion Centre, Loc Troi Group, and Japan's Newgreen Co., Ltd. signed an MoU for cooperation on advanced Japanese technology in low-emission rice cultivation in the Mekong Delta. Supported by JICA, Newgreen's project focuses on Aigamo Robot technology, which combats weeds without chemicals.

The robot is solar-powered and navigates autonomously, reducing costs and environmental impact while promoting aerobic bacteria growth to cut methane emissions. Vietnam aims for sustainable rice cultivation across 1 million hectares by 2030. The MoU outlines joint research and technology dissemination to enhance rice farming sustainability.
