The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Thomas Vilsack, has pledged support for Viet Nam's billion-dollar rice project during a press conference in Ha Noi. Vilsack emphasized the shared vision of both countries in adapting agriculture to climate change and ensuring global food security. The U.S. will provide information and best farming practices to assist Viet Nam in climate adaptation. Additionally, a program to use appropriate fertilizers will be promoted to increase productivity and promote green growth. Viet Nam's project aims to develop 1 million hectares of high-quality rice and reduce emissions by 2030, requiring an estimated investment of VND40,000 billion (US$1.7 billion). The U.S. will provide financial support through a fertilizer program and facilitate the exchange of farming experiences between American and Vietnamese experts. Vilsack also highlighted Viet Nam's vital role in ensuring food security as a leading rice producer, emphasizing the need to produce more food with fewer resources in the face of climate change.
