Can Tho Rice and Biomass Hub Advances Vietnam’s Circular Agro-Energy Strategy

Can Tho, 4 October 2026 – Construction has begun on an integrated rice-processing complex designed to connect one of Vietnam’s most important agricultural supply chains with biomass power generation, advancing a circular-economy model that could improve both milling efficiency and energy security in the Mekong Delta.
