| Summary: | Rice straw, a byproduct of Vietnam's rice production, generates approximately 47 million tons annually. However, the combination of high collection costs, low market prices, lack of sustainable management practices, and limited value-added business models has led to an increasing prevalence of open-field burning of straw. To address this issue, efforts are being made to improve straw collection technologies and promote sustainable business models as part of a circular economy, particularly through the cultivation of straw mushrooms. This initiative aims to improve farmers' income, enhance the value chain of straw, and facilitate the changing of production practices. The video introduces two main cultivation methods: outdoor cultivation yields 80-100 kg of mushrooms per ton of straw, and indoor cultivation, which allows for better environmental control, can yield 150-200 kg per ton of straw.
