On 5 November 2025, the MRC Secretariat, together with the Lao National Mekong Committee Secretariat and Gulf Energy Development, launched the Mekong Riverweed Product — a pioneering initiative set to transform rural livelihoods in Luang Prabang through sustainable cultivation and modern market access.
Held in Muang Kham Village, the event was a significant milestone in community climate adaptation. By applying innovative and eco-friendly techniques to cultivate and process this traditional delicacy, the project aims to boost rural incomes while strengthening community resilience to climate impacts.
Through this initiative, local farmers will receive hands-on training in modern cultivation and drying techniques. The project also promotes eco-friendly production methods that preserve the natural flavour and nutrients of riverweed while reducing waste and environmental impact.
This event marked a new chapter in sustainable development — linking tradition, innovation, and livelihoods across the Mekong region. 🌏
