Sub-sectoral objectives Promote improved farming techniques in crop production. Promote soil fertility management techniques in crop production. Promote agricultural developments. hydro- Measures envisaged (1) Implementation of improved farming techniques over an area of 5,000,000 ha between 2021 and 2030. (2) Implementation of techniques for maintaining soil fertility over an area of 5,000,000 ha between 2021 and 2030. (3) Development and irrigation of rice-growing areas with water control of 52,000 ha Unconditional contribution 250,000 ha/year between 2021 and 2030 Conditional contribution 22,000 ha of rice-growing areas developed and irrigated with water control. (additional) 250,000 ha lan between 2021 and 2030 250,000 ha between 2021 and 250,000 ha between 2021 and 2030 2030 An additional 30,000 ha of developed and irrigated rice fields with water control. Reduced emissions in the Expected avoided emissions: all of the above measures, namely the agricultural sector, promotion of improved farming techniques, maintenance of soil fertility and development and irrigation of rice-growing perimeters will help to avoid GHGs of approximately 29.9 Mt E-CO compared to the business as usual scenario, i.e. a cumulative reduction of 51.4% over the period 2021 to 2030, of which 50% conditional contribution and 50% contribution unconditional. Figure 4 below shows the trajectory of emissions in the agriculture sector for each of the scenarios and the levels that could be reached in 2030. The cumulative avoided emissions break down as follows: (1) Promotion of improved farming techniques and (2) maintenance of soil fertility (29.7 Mt E-CO eq) i.e. 99.4% and (3) development of rice-growing areas with water control (0.2 Mt E-CO) i.e. 0.6 %.
