The Mitigation Options to Reduce Methane Emission in Paddy Rice, or the paddy rice component, forms part of the Agricultural Initiative of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition or CCAC hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The traditional rice varieties take about 160-200 days to mature and highly susceptible to climatic events. Improved short duration varieties could be harvested in about 110 to 130 days.
