RICE IS THE GREATEST CLIMATE CHALLENGE
IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
A staple for billions, rice is also the second-largest agri-food emitter, driving up to 33% of Southeast Asia’s methane emissions.
RICE IS ​AN EMISSION-HEAVY & WATER-INTENSIVE CROP

HOW DO WE SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
We Leverage Current Sustainable Practices
Alternate
​Wetting & Drying
Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) saves water by letting rice fields dry before re-flooding, rather than keeping them submerged. It cuts water use by 30%, and reduces 1.4 tons methane emissions per hectare per season.
Low Pesticide Rice
MRL
Maximum
Residue
​Level
Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) ensures food safety by setting pesticide limits while helping farmers reduce costs by 20-30% per season, reducing waste and preserving crop quality.
Crop
​Residue
With over 190M tons of COâ‚‚ released from burning rice straw yearly, sustainable management offers a smarter solution. By repurposing straw, we cut emissions, improve soil health, and unlock new opportunities for farmers
Fertilizer optimization
SSNM
Site-Specific Nutrient Management
Site-Specific Nutrient Management (SSNM) boosts crop yields by providing the right nutrients at the right time. It increases nutrient efficiency by up to 30%, minimize runoff, and greenhouse gas emissions.
By Harnessing Rize's Proprietary Technology
An end-to-end platform scaling sustainable practices across thousands of hectares of rice-producing countries in Southeast Asia.
We simplify farmer management through streamlined onboarding, financing, tailored support, and efficient input/repayment tracking.
We provide localized BI and real-time dashboards for farmer monitoring, sustainability compliance, and data-driven agronomist insights.
