-        Reduction of postharvest losses for agriculture producers and products in Asian Region;
-        Mastering energy supply focusing on isolated areas (MESFiA);
-        Sustainable Agriculture, Food and Energy (SAFE)
-        Seminar on farm mechanization, agricultural machinery

 

Mechanization on rice straw based composting

Led by International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), the project on rice straw management was continued with another activity on the use of rice straw for composting. This activity was conducted with the collaboration of IRRI, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and Rynan Company (Tra Vinh). Besides, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Nghi paticipated the project as a part-time consultant of the project.

As the results of project, a compost turner was designed and tested for turning the bed with the main components of rice straw and manure. Mechanization on compost turning contributes to increase production capacity, free the labors’ hard work and reduce production cost.
