Phu My Chau Agricultural Cooperative (hereinafter referred to as Phu My Chau Cooperative) was established in 2014, headquartered in Giong Trom Hamlet, My Chanh Commune, Chau Thanh District, Tra Vinh Province, with a current scale of 120 members and 60 employees, specializing in the production of rice seeds, commercial rice and rice varieties under the brand name "Hat Ngoc Que Huong". Through discussions with Mr. Tran Van Cong - Chairman of the Board of Directors, Phu My Chau Cooperative aims to become one of the leading units in the province in developing a production model according to organic product standards, associated with green development and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the next 3-5 years. 

Regarding energy, Phu My Chau Cooperative is currently using grid electricity and biomass electricity from rice husks as the main source, providing heat mainly for the rice drying kiln system. According to experts' assessment, the current production status still has some shortcomings such as scattered equipment arrangement, manual transportation consuming labor; Production mainly takes place during peak hours, causing electricity costs to increase; heat from the drying oven is not effectively retained, causing energy waste.

On that basis, experts from Yuko Vietnam Co., Ltd. and experts from Hanoi University of Science and Technology have proposed practical energy-saving solutions as follows.

Rearrange the production line in a continuous direction or use an automatic conveyor - bucket elevator system.

v Install solar power with an expected capacity of 100 kWp.

v Improve the drying oven by installing a heat-retaining tarpaulin, helping to save rice husks and double the drying capacity

v Build a scientific rice drying yard system, taking advantage of about 2,700 hours of sunshine/year, reducing dependence on drying with rice husks and saving up to 100 million VND/year.
