The Vietnam’s rice industry – a journey of sustainable development

VBAF

HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 December 2023 - Through chapters of development, the rice production and export of Vietnam have made great breakthroughs. While facing fluctuations in the worldwide market, as well as significant climate change, Vietnam’s rice industry has been transforming in both production and export, with the aim of quality improvement and sustainable development, contributing to global food security and emission reduction. Vietnam has achieved many great achievements in rice production, making an important contribution to ensuring national and world food security. Photo: TL. The rice industry is crucial for Vietnam’s development, and helps provide livelihoods for dozen millions Vietnamese farmers. Overcoming challenges from the past, Vietnam is one of the largest rice exporting countries with continuously increasing export turnover in the global markets, ranging from Europe, America to Africa and Asia. Vietnam's rice export turnover has increased from US$ 2.63 billion in 2020 to US$ 2.88 billion in 2021 and reached US$ 3.5 billion in 2022. It is estimated that Vietnam will export approximately 8 million tons of rice, with a value of US$ 4.6 billion in 2023. In the context of natural disasters, disruption of global value chains and the threat of global food crisis, Vietnam continues to export rice, to be a reliable supplier, hence contributing to global food security. The quality of Vietnamese rice has improved significantly, raising its reputation in important markets in the world. In 2023, the ST25 fragrant rice variety of Viet Nam won the World's Best Rice 2023 award at the International Rice Summit 2023, held in the Philippines from November 27 to December 1. Vietnam has promoted proper research and application of rice farming and processing technologies to create the best rice quality while, taking into account environmental protection and sustainable development. This helps to bring about the trust of consumers, even in the high-end markets in the quality, safety and reliability of Vietnamese rice suppliers. Sustainable development Based on past achievements and the commitments in COP26, Vietnam promotes the rice industry towards high quality and low carbon emission. On May 28, 2020, the Prime Minister of Vietnam issued the Decision No. 703/QD-TTg regarding the R&D programme to serve agricultural restructuring for the period 2021-2030. According to the Decision, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has coordinated with the local authorities to develop plans for paddy production and paddy land conversion, to adapt to climate change and increase productivity. MARD also issued the Program on restructuring the rice industry of Vietnam to 2025 and 2030 with the approach of gaining more from less, to increase the efficiency and sustainability of the sector. The program set up the consistent goals of increasing farmer income, and consumer welfare together with better performance of rice export in terms of quality and value addition. On November 27 th, 2023, the Prime Minister approved the Program on “One million hectares of high-quality and low carbon rice towards green growth in the Mekong Delta to 2030”. The Program set up the targets of re-organizing rice value chains, applying sustainable farming practices, increasing efficiency, improving livelihoods of rice farmers, adapting and mitigating impacts of climate change, hence implementing commitments of Vietnam to international communities on carbon emission reduction. The Program indicates 4 priority tasks including capacity building for cooperatives and businesses, credit to support value chain integration for high-quality and low-carbon rice, infrastructure modernization and pilots of carbon payment scheme. This is the practical action to implement Vietnam's commitment at the UN Food Systems Summit 2021: Vietnam wishes to become a food supplier with transparency, responsibility and sustainability. Furthermore, Vietnam is also a pioneering country to apply low carbon practices to strongly transform the rice sector towards green and sustainable growth, implementing Vietnam's commitment to reduce 30 % carbon emission by 2030 and net zero by 2050 in COP26 held in Glasgow, November 2021. The First Vietnam International Rice Festival To promote high-quality rice production, enhance value chain integration, create a foundation for green growth, ensure food security and safety, and adapt to the climate change, Vietnam will hold International Rice Festival of Vietnam in December 11-15 2023 in Hau Giang Province. Conveying the message " Green Rice for Life”, the Festival is held in the context that Vietnam is aiming to become the pioneering country in high-quality and low-carbon rice, hence opening up opportunities to introduce potential of Vietnam's rice industry, creating momentum for rice trade, as well as showing Vietnam responsibility to the global food markets. The Festival organizes numerous activities of international workshops (Vietnam – Africa policy dialogue: South–South cooperation for food system transformation, Responsible and sustainable development of rice value chains, Global rice market and perspectives, R&D and innovation for sustainable rice industry), Vietnam rice road show, and field trips to introduce to international partners about the rice production models in the Mekong Delta. As a special spotlight of this Festival, the Government of Vietnam will officially kick-off the implementation of Program on “One million hectares of high-quality and low carbon rice towards green growth in the Mekong Delta to 2030”. This shows the high-level commitments of the Government of Vietnam to transform the rice industry for farmer income, consumer welfare and its responsibility as a benchmark for global rice markets, food security and carbon emissions reduction. The Festival is also a chance for the rice production and import/export countries and other partners to strengthen cooperation in terms of trade, investment, and R&D for sustainable development of the global rice value chains. Nguyen Do Anh Tuan – Director General of the International Cooperation Department, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development affirms that Vietnam is a responsible member of the international communities. Vietnam will join hands with governments, international organizations and businesses to develop a sustainable rice industry with low carbon emissions, improve rice value chain integration, and achieve global food security.

EXPEDITE CLEAN ELECTRIC GENERATION - BUILD IT NOW!

Clean Energy Jobs Coalition - NY

Ahead of the New York State Public Service Commission’s “ Technical Conference under Case 15-E-0302: Implement a Large-Scale Renewable Program and Clean Energy Standard,” the New York State Building & Construction Trades Council, representing 220,000 highly skilled construction trade union workers throughout New York, along with the Clean Energy Jobs Coalition-NY, jointly thank the New York State Public Service Commission for its consideration of this important matter and urge action to ensure New York’s energy system is clean and reliable. New York has an urgent need for a comprehensive clean energy strategy to address power reliability gaps, create union careers, and facilitate workforce development initiatives that will equip construction tradesmen and tradeswomen to successfully transition to clean energy projects. In 2003, New York had a generating capacity of 40,647 megawatts (MW). [i] In 2023, New York's generating capacity has shrunk by 10% to 36,894 MW, signaling a critical need for immediate action. [ii] The decline in energy capacity has led to increased electricity prices and job losses, emphasizing the need for a robust and reliable energy system. The labor groups note that New York’s grid operator, the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO), estimates that the state will need to triple its power generating capacity – from roughly 37.5 gigawatts (GW) to 124 GW – by 2040 to meet its clean energy goals. That will require a massive build-out of zero-emission generating resources well beyond current plans for electric generation from wind, solar and hydro. They are calling for a heightened commitment to zero-emission resources that are more reliable and not dependent on weather patterns, including hydrogen, renewable natural gas, and small modular nuclear reactors. The labor groups believe that existing natural gas-fired power plants should be allowed to transition and upgrade their facilities as the clean energy transition takes place. "Our skilled tradespeople are the backbone of New York's construction industry. Building a cleaner and more reliable energy system is not just an environmental imperative; it's an opportunity to create hundreds of thousands of well-paying, family sustaining middle-class careers for professionals in the construction trades all across the Empire State. We need to get serious about zero emission resources to create thousands of good jobs, build a sustainable environment, and make a clean energy future," said Gary LaBarbera, president of the New York State Building & Construction Trades Council. "The time for urgent action is now. The NYISO analysis highlights the critical need to expedite the siting and construction of new zero greenhouse gas power generation facilities and retrofit existing ones promptly. Our message to policymakers is clear: treat the power emergency as an emergency. Let's work together to ensure a swift and effective transition to a cleaner, more reliable energy system," said John J. Murphy, International Representative of the United Association of Journeymen & Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry. "Reliability is the cornerstone of a functioning society. Until you start changing the electric generation mix, the more electric appliances consumer buy, existing plants will become more stressed to meet growing demand. We are urging policymakers to prioritize reliability and take a 'do no harm’ approach. By building emission free generation facilities and maintaining access to reliable power, we safeguard the health and safety of millions of New Yorkers. Let's act now to ensure a dependable energy future for our state," Tom Gesualdi, President of the 150,000 member Teamsters Joint Council 16. "Recent events, such as winter storm Elliott, have exposed vulnerabilities in New York's energy systems. For too long we have been shutting down power plants, even zero emission facilities like Indian Point, without decarbonized electricity available to replace lost jobs and energy. We are calling for immediate attention to these vulnerabilities and emphasizes the need for a comprehensive clean energy transition. Let's not wait for the next crisis—act urgently to make New York power full again," said Jim Shillito, Utility Workers Union of America Local 1-2. "With the arrival of Micron Technologies in Central New York and its expected creation of 50,000 jobs, it is critical that our state and region have the current and future clean energy capacity to meet the needs of the economic development Governor Hochul has brought to this region of our state. Clean power generating facilities have been a mainstay for job creation, economic growth, and a just transition for workers. Let's make New York powerful again by investing in our workforce and building a clean energy future," said Central New York Building & Construction Trades Council President and New York State Pipe Trades President Greg Lancette. "As we face a decreasing power reserve margin and warnings of a potential shortage, the urgency to address power reliability gaps cannot be overstated. New York requires a realistic roadmap to enhance reliability through the adoption of diverse and innovative energy sources. Let's power on New York with a resilient and robust energy grid," Peter Myers President of the New York State Iron Workers District Council. Ahead of the New York State Public Service Commission’s technical conference on zero emission electric generation sources, these labor organizations are advocating for New York to address power reliability gaps, create jobs, and achieve a smooth transition to a decarbonized energy system with the following action steps: Expediting the siting and construction of at least of new in-state zero-emission generating facilities to support a new electrified world. Reversing the loss of 3,753 MWs of in-state electricity supply, most of which were from decarbonized sources, such as nuclear power, from New York’s energy mix. Acknowledging that with less in-state electricity supply, between January 2020 and January 2023, electricity prices for industrial, commercial, and residential ratepayers have increased,, and respectively – not factoring in inflation, increasing access to in-state zero emissions generation facilities can reduce electricity prices for ratepayers. New York should recognize an all-of-the-above approach to zero emission energy sources. The New York State Building & Construction Trades Council and Clean Energy Jobs Coalition-NY remains committed to playing an active role in building a reliable, 24/7 cleaner energy grid that ensures a just transition for workers and a sustainable future for all New Yorkers.

Proposed Russian Uranium Imports Ban Set for US House Floor Vote

MarketJar

A pivotal vote in the US House of Representatives is set to reshape America's nuclear energy landscape. The Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act, spearheaded by Washington Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, stands at the cusp of a critical decision. Leveraging an expedited voting process, it seeks a two-thirds majority for passage, reflecting the urgency in responding to Russia's aggression in Ukraine. 1 This bipartisan initiative aims to halt imports of nuclear reactor fuel from Russia – a move that could significantly impact the Senate's stance on similar legislation. In a candid interview, Senator Joe Manchin emphasized the stakes: "It's a straightforward choice - we ban their imports or they ban us." His words resonate with a sense of urgency and a hopeful outlook for Senate action. Russia, a key player in this scenario, provided nearly one-fourth of the enriched uranium for the US's over 90 commercial reactors last year, positioning itself as a primary supplier. The bill, if enacted, would cease Russian uranium imports within 90 days, with an option for a temporary waiver until January 2028. It has already sailed through a House committee and echoed success in a Senate panel, gaining bipartisan support from leaders like Senator Manchin and Wyoming Republican John Barrasso. However, this legislative push doesn't come without economic ramifications. The Congressional Budget Office warns of a 13% hike in nuclear fuel costs in the US, as the bill aims to pivot away from Russia's cost-effective enrichment services, potentially disrupting the nuclear fuel market. Responding to these challenges, the Biden administration seeks a $2 billion boost from Congress to strengthen America's domestic enrichment capabilities, crucial for both advanced and traditional nuclear reactors. This strategic move underscores a renewed focus on self-reliance and resilience in the nation's energy sector. If the bill to ban uranium imports from Russia passes, the US could import more uranium from Canada, the world's second largest producer of uranium. The Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan houses the most affluent uranium mines globally, hosting sizable and high-grade uranium deposits. Currently, it is anticipated to contribute around 15% of the annual global uranium production, featuring grades that are 10 to 20 times higher than the global average. Among the companies making waves in the Athabasca Basin is GoldMining Inc. (NYSE-A:GLDG), which boasts a robust portfolio of projects, substantial cash reserves of $163 million, and zero debt. GoldMining: Unlocking Value in Diverse Resource Assets GoldMining Inc. (NYSE-A:GLDG) is set to rejuvenate its exploration activities at the Rea Uranium Project, located in the prolific Western Athabasca Basin in Canada. The project marks a major foray into uranium for GoldMining Inc., broadening the scope of the company's mineral portfolio. Under the guidance of CEO Alastair Still, the company is planning a collaborative and phased development of this underexplored asset, working closely with local stakeholders. Future updates are expected to focus on exploring a key regional shear zone, adjacent to the high-grade Dragon Lake deposit. As highlighted in a recent report by CarbonCredits.com, GoldMining employs a unique formula for identifying undervalued enterprises, emphasizing the consideration of Enterprise Value (EV) as the "takeover value" of a company. A low EV suggests that investors assign little to no value to the company's assets, while a high EV indicates substantial value in the eyes of investors. Astonishingly, the market attributes only $29 million to all of GoldMining 's assets GoldMining owns the La Mina gold deposit, evaluated at an after-tax Net Present Value of $369 million by third-party engineers. Moreover, the company possesses a 75% stake in the Rea uranium project in Canada's Western Athabasca Basin, partnering with Orano, the world's second-largest uranium producer. With vast exploration and drilling achievements, this project alone could potentially surpass GoldMining 's entire current EV. GoldMining Inc. (NYSE-A:GLDG) has a worldwide resource base comprising 12.65 million ounces of gold categorized as Measured and Indicated, along with an additional 13.41 million ounces classified as Inferred. The company adopted a strategic approach, acquiring these assets at advantageous prices during market downturns, showcasing a contrarian investment strategy. 2 GoldMining operates on multiple fronts including a cash and equity portfolio with 15% ownership in Gold Royalty Corp, 80% ownership in US GoldMining, and 22% ownership in NevGold, the La Mina Project which boasts an impressive Preliminary Economic Assessment NAV of over $360 million, a strategic joint venture partnership with Orano on the Rea Project in Canada, justifying the current enterprise value and assets in Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and North America, comprising both resource-rich and early-stage projects. GoldMining 's business plan involves acquiring high-quality resource assets at favorable prices and subsequently unlocking their value. Phase one succeeded in accumulating a diverse portfolio without royalties on core projects. The company is now poised for the second phase, involving the sale, spin-out, or partnership of gold projects to realize the inherent value for shareholders. With no debt, over $160 million in cash, and equity holdings, GoldMining has a solid financial foundation. The company's management and insiders, owning about 15% of the float, are aligned with shareholders' interests. As gold prices reach all-time highs, the company's resource portfolio becomes increasingly valuable, promising numerous near-term catalysts. With management and insiders holding approximately 15% of the float, there is clear alignment with shareholder interests at GoldMining. The company's strategic plan positions it to capitalize on the growing significance of resources amid the unfolding energy transition, providing investors with a distinctive opportunity in a dynamic market.

MyFitnessPal’s food database contains over 18 million foods, so you’ll be able to find nutrition insights on whatever holiday treat you’re looking forward to eating. Go one-for-one. Consider matching a glass of water for each cocktail you enjoy. Alcohol, along with added sugars found in cocktails, can add up quickly - leading to dehydration, changes in blood sugar, and unwanted morning-after headaches if you’re not careful. Tracking with MyFitnessPal can provide insights into how much added sugar you’re eating - and drinking. Give yourself some grace; enjoying celebration meals does not mean you need to go into a cycle of restricting food intake and over-exercising as compensation. The foundation of your health is built on routines and what you do the majority of the time. Nourish your body throughout the day to take the charge out of the celebratory meal. Add plants (fruits and veggies) that are accessible, affordable, culturally relevant, and tasty to your routine. Adding these foods increases the nutrient density of your meals. If you want to finish the year off strong, MyFitnessPal can provide inspiration on making small daily changes that add up to big improvements over time. Whether inspiration for new recipes, or providing healthier holiday alternatives, the app is like having a nutritionist and support community in the palm of your hand, plus the insights can be very eye-opening.

PRCG | Sports Welcomes Legendary NFL Sideline Reporter Michele Tafoya to the “Crisis Communications in Sports” Podcast

PRCG I Sports

Sports public relations firm PRCG | Sports recently sat down with one of the most well respected NFL sideline reporters of all time, Michele Tafoya, to discuss the fallout following statements by current NFL personality Charissa Thompson, who admitted to sometimes fabricating reports during the early years of her career as a sideline reporter. Now more than ever, sports public relations are a critical necessity in order to address the seemingly endless stream of sensitive issues that affect athletes, teams, leagues, brands, and—in this case—media personalities. “I don’t think she (Thompson) had people like you helping her out with this,” Tafoya told hosts Jim Rocco and Cris Bruce on the PRCG | Sports ’ podcast. “I think that was to her detriment, and that’s unfortunate, she should have.” Tafoya, known for her professionalism and commitment to journalistic standards, emphasized the profound impact such admissions can have on public trust and the credibility of sports journalism as a whole. Having covered 327 national primetime TV games—a record for NFL sideline reporters—Tafoya also lamented the lack of consequence and how it reflects on the industry's approach to accountability and transparency. In response to the absence of any comment or disciplinary measures by Thompson’s employers, Tafoya rhetorically asked: “What are you saying to your entire organization by not speaking about this, by ignoring it? I think that’s a really relevant question”. Click here to listen to the full interview with Michele Tafoya on PRCG | Sports’ “Crisis Communications in Sports” podcast.

Alligator Energy ready for "very active" 2024

Alligator Energy Ltd

Alligator Energy Ltd (ASX:AGE, OTC:ALGEF) Managing Director and CEO Greg Hall speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the uranium and energy metals project development and exploration group announced two key updates from its Samphire Uranium Project in South Australia. Hall starts by addressing the resource upgrade at the project, saying that the company has successfully converted much of the inferred quality resources into a higher quality indicated resource. Along with the resource upgrade, Alligator has defined an exploration target range of 6Mt (million tonnes) to 37Mt at a grade between 390 and 903ppm eU3O8 (U3O8 equivalent basis) for a range of 14Mlbs to 75Mlbs of contained eU3O8 at 250ppm cut-off for Samphire Regarding future drilling plans, Hall confirmed that drilling rigs are scheduled to operate throughout the year. This drilling will not only cover the current resource envelope but also extend into the newly identified exploration target range, potentially increasing the project's lifespan or production rate. Hall also highlighted the company's progress towards a pilot field trial for in-situ recovery mining, a key component of their feasibility study planned for the second half of the year. This trial will assess the chemistry and economics of the extraction process. Finally, Hall spoke about updating their March 2023 scoping study. Changes include an increased indicated resource, a higher production rate, and the adjustment of the uranium price from $65 to $75 per pound. The updated study, which is nearing completion, reflects more accurate project costs and contingencies based on recent developments.
