Mr. Nguyen Van Duong, Head of the Agriculture Department of Yen Thanh district, said: This spring rice crop in Yen Thanh covers more than 12,000 hectares. To date, about 50 hectares have been harvested sporadically in some low-lying, flood-prone communes including Lien Thanh, Nhan Thanh, and Long Thanh…
The areas harvested early mainly consist of high-value purebred varieties such as Bac Thom and Khang Dan. This year's spring rice crop in Yen Thanh has benefited from favorable weather conditions, resulting in a relatively high yield of 72 quintals/hectare (an increase of 1 quintal/hectare compared to the previous spring crop). It is estimated that many communes will have finished harvesting by June 8th.
