India is moving quickly to contain a Nipah virus outbreak in the eastern state of West Bengal after two cases were confirmed by the federal health ministry. Nearly 200 people have been quarantined after they were identified as contacts of the infected patients, according to officials. All were found to be asymptomatic and tested negative for the virus, the ministry said.

But the West Bengal cases have sparked concern across Asia, with several countries introducing new Covid-style health check flights from the region. Nipah is a deadly virus with no vaccine or cure and is considered a high-risk pathogen by the World Health Organization. Experts say human infections are rare and usually occur when the virus spills over from bats, often through contaminated fruit.

Nipah virus (NiV) infection most often begins with non-specific symptoms, making early detection difficult. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the incubation period is generally believed to range from four to 21 days, though longer delays between exposure and illness have been reported in rare cases during previous outbreaks. Patients typically develop a sudden flu-like illness marked by fever, headache, muscle pain and fatigue. In some cases, respiratory symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath or pneumonia also occur, although the timing and severity of these symptoms can vary widely.

HÀ NỘI — Properly implemented low-emission rice production will not only help Việt Nam meet its climate commitments but also create new opportunities to build a sustainable, high-value national rice brand, according to Dr Nguyễn Đỗ Tuấn Anh, director of the International Cooperation Department at the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment. “Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural production is no longer an option but has become a consistent strategic direction for Việt Nam in the context of intensifying global climate change,” Tuấn Anh told the workshop Focus on Việt Nam: Opportunities to Promote Low-Emission Rice in the Mekong Delta.

The event was organised by the ministry in collaboration with the International Rice Research Institute on January 23 in Hà Nội. “For Việt Nam, one of the world's leading rice exporters, transitioning to a green, low-emission and sustainable agricultural model is essential to maintaining long-term competitiveness,” he said. The workshop took place as the world grapples with mounting challenges related to food security and climate change. The choice of Việt Nam as the focus of international discussions reflects growing confidence in the country's role, potential and leadership capacity in global climate solutions, particularly in the rice sector.

At the COP26 conference, Việt Nam committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. To realise this pledge, agriculture, one of the sectors most affected by climate change and a significant source of emissions, has been identified as a priority for transformation. Rice production plays a central role in this process, underpinning national food security and the livelihoods of millions of farmers. In recent years, the country has gradually shifted away from a production model focused on volume towards one that prioritises quality and added value. Climate-smart farming models that apply advanced water management, reduce inputs and expand low-emission rice production linked to sustainable livelihoods are increasingly being adopted, helping to enhance the position of Vietnamese rice in international markets.
