BANGKOK/HANOI — The cultivation of “low-carbon” rice, using methods that cut greenhouse gas emissions, is taking hold in Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries.
CP Intertrade, part of top Thai conglomerate Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group, started selling low-carbon rice under the Royal Umbrella brand in May and plans to double production in 2026. The taste is comparable to rice of the same variety, a CP spokesperson said.
