| According to Ms. Chinh, young people with good health can produce more than 100 kg of salt per day, earning an income of about 4-5 million VND per month. Photo: Le Thang |

| It is the winter-spring crop season, so work is not busy, so most salt farmers have to find other jobs such as construction workers and porters. The few people who stay home to make salt are mainly the elderly and women with small children. Photo: Le Thang |
