Vietnam's green agriculture has reached a new milestone as Binh Thuan Province, with assistance from the United Nations, officially introduces the first batch of dragon fruit with monitored carbon emissions. And through energy and water-saving measures, the cultivation process has successfully reduced carbon emissions by nearly 70%.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in collaboration with the Departments of Agriculture and Rural Development in Binh Thuan province, launched the “Accelerating Private Sector Engagement in Climate-Resilient and Low-Emission Investment in Agriculture Sector,” project. Funding is provided by the governments of Germany, Spain, and the European Union to assist Vietnamese fruit farmers in cultivating dragon fruit in a low-carbon manner.
