To speed up the spring rice harvest, Dien Chau has put more than 40 combine harvesters into use. Of these, cooperatives have invested in 12 machines, each worth about 650 million VND. The remaining machines were purchased by farmers. Photo: Mai Giang |

At Dien Tho Agricultural Cooperative, after converting to a new model, billions of dong have been invested to buy 2 combine harvesters, 5 plows, 2 transplanters, and 1 seedling sowing machine to serve the needs of farmers.

Currently, in Dien Chau, 95% of land preparation, 95% of harvesting and 70% of transportation in rice production are done by machines. On average, if agricultural machines are applied to agricultural production, costs will be reduced by 1.5-2 million VND/ha per crop. This is a condition for Dien Chau to expand the area of large-scale fields, increase the land use coefficient, and contribute to the modernization of the district's agricultural sector.
