Vietnam helps farmers make biogas
Farmers situated in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam are receiving training in producing biogas and fertiliser from water hyacinths and agricultural waste.
The project, conducted by Can Tho University, has received €1 million in funding from the Luxembourg Agency for Development Cooperation collaboration.
So far 2,340 farmers in the Mekong Delta province of Hau Giang who possess less than 2.3 hectares have received training in technologies and methods to make biogas from water hyacinths and processing the aquatic plant for aquaculture silage, and compost.
For farmers who qualify the scheme looks to initially invest VND 5-10 million (€200-400) to make biogas digesters. A household is expected to earn an additional income of VND 1-2 million a month and produce its own fuel.
The project is expected to run until October 2009.
