IRRI’s digital monitoring and reporting system nominated for the Vietnam National Television’s Awards for Impressive Digital Transformation Application of the Year

The Rice Activity Monitoring and Reporting System (RiceMoRe) developed by IRRI and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development recognized for impactful contribution to agricultural management.

IRRI is proud to announce that the Rice Activity Monitoring and Reporting system ‘RiceMoRe’, including its innovative FarMoRe app component, has been nominated for the prestigious Vietnam National Television’s Awards 2024. The nomination of RiceMoRe in the category of Impressive Digital Transformation Application of the Year is a significant achievement and testament to its contribution to modernizing agricultural management in Viet Nam and its impact on the rice sector.

What is RiceMoRe?

RiceMoRe is a powerful digital system that supports the Viet Nam Government in advancing strategic management, monitoring, and reporting of rice production. Operating on both web and mobile platforms, RiceMoRe automates and standardizes the weekly collection and reporting of rice production activity data across all administrative levels. The system automatically generates and summarises geo-referenced data, providing near real-time insights into rice production – significantly improving management, monitoring, and reporting efficiency at scale.

The innovative FarMoRe component

FarMoRe offers a solution to record field-level activities like a farming diary, and automatically estimate greenhouse gas emissions based on farmers’ input. The output of the FarMoRe component can be used as evidence to facilitate communication between extensionists and rice farmers. This holds the potential to provide invaluable insights for developing rice farming advisories. It can also be used as a digital tool to support Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of low-emission rice production.
