| Due to the impact of the rain that has lasted for many days, the watermelon fields of people in Nghi Long commune (Nghi Loc district) and Dien Thanh (Dien Chau district) have been heavily flooded - Photo: Nam Phuc |

| After the water receded, all the watermelons that were close to harvest time in the fields began to rot and spoil. The watermelon field of more than 6 sao of Mr. Ho Cong Duc's family in Dien Thanh commune, Dien Chau district suffered tens of millions of dong in damage. Photo: Nam Phuc |

| According to the people of Dien Thanh commune, each sao of watermelon costs about 2 million VND for seeds and fertilizer. The care that people have put in for more than 2 months has now been lost in the flood. If the harvest is good, watermelons cost 6,000 VND/kg, but now people choose large, beautiful fruits to bring to the market to sell for 2,000 VND/kg, which is very difficult to sell.

| Feeling sorry for the loss, many people had to go to the fields to pick up the melons that were not yet rotten and bring them home to chop them up to feed the cows. Photo: Nam Phuc |
 |
| The amount of melons was so large that the cows could not eat them all. The remaining melons were mostly left to rot in the fields or piled up on the banks of the fields. Photo: Nam Phuc |

| Not only watermelon, many other crops such as cantaloupe, sesame, and corn of the people have also been severely affected by the heavy rain that has lasted for many days. Photo: Nam Phuc |
