Oxfam Rice Event 2025 launches in Macau to support climate-resilient farming

Oxfam’s annual fundraising campaign, the Oxfam Rice Event 2025, will take place across Macau this weekend.

Now in its 14th year, the event aims to support smallholder farmers and communities affected by climate change through the sale of Oxfam Rice and themed gift sets.

A launch ceremony was held earlier this week at Macau Tower, featuring Oxfam Ambassador Terence Siufay and representatives from Oxfam and corporate sponsors.

The event promotes sustainable farming by raising funds for agricultural training and climate adaptation.

This year, 15 rice booths will be staffed by over 1,100 volunteers.

Jose Alvares, vice vhair of the Board of Director, Oxfam in Macau, remarked: “We are delighted to celebrate the 14th year of the Oxfam Rice Event in Macau and are deeply grateful for the great support from our community. Oxfam has long been dedicated to supporting smallholder farmers around the world. Through our projects in mainland China, across Asia and in East Africa, we help farmers adopt drought-resilient agricultural practices that boost productivity and secure their incomes.”
