| After 3 days of planting from January 1, 2016 to January 4, 2016, people have planted nearly 50% of the area, mainly the traditional Sen Tat peanut variety. Sowing peanuts must be done manually to ensure the distance between each peanut seed. |
 |
| After sowing peanuts, people cover them with plastic.To prevent cold, keep peanuts moist, and protect them from pests. 90% of spring peanut growing area in Dien Chau is covered with plastic. |
 |
| Ms. Nguyen Thi Ba - a farmer in Dien Thanh said: Because it is a coastal sandy area that is prone to drought, the hot wind at the end of the season often burns peanut leaves, so people try to sow early to avoid drought. Besides, sowing early to serve fresh peanuts for the coastal tourist area in the season. Covering with plastic also needs to follow the correct technical process and after covering, the soil on both sides of the bed must be packed to prevent the plastic from flying away. |
 |
| It is expected that by mid-January 2016, Dien Chau will have closed the entire area of spring peanuts. All peanuts after sowing are covered with plastic. |

| In 2015, Dien Chau peanuts had a good harvest and good prices, so people were very excited to invest in the 2016 spring crop. In the photo, people in Dien Thinh commune (Dien Chau) take care of peanuts. Photo: Tran Canh Yen. |
