To complete the 9,280 ha summer-autumn rice area, Dien Chau needs to plant 370 ha of seedlings. Accordingly, to speed up the planting progress and avoid the late-season storms and floods, starting from May 8, farmers have gone to the fields to sow seedlings. Due to the heavy rains on May 12, many areas of seedlings were washed away and rotted. Currently, along with completing the summer-autumn rice planting, farmers are also focusing on sowing to make up for the lost areas.

According to plan, by May 20, Dien Chau will finish sowing rice, and the spring harvest must be completed before May.
