Harvesting, which used to be done by women, is now done by men, because holding the machine requires more strength, while women just collect the rice. Photo: Dinh Tuan |

This summer-autumn crop, farmers are experimenting with growing TNA6 rice variety. According to evaluations, this is a rice variety with large and dense grains. Photo: Dinh Tuan |

Along with treading rice by foot, considered a traditional method of the people, very few households apply it today. Photo: Dinh Tuan |
