lua 9 (1) — The rice is bagged right on the machine and loaded by the machine operators at the edge of the field for the farmer. This year, the machine operators are collecting the rice at a price of 160,000 - 180,000 VND per sao (depending on the type of field). Photo: Xuan Hoang

Lúa bà Hà Thị Hiền xã Lạng Khê có hơn 2a(1) — For farmers in mountainous areas, due to the fragmented and terraced nature of their rice fields, mechanization is not applied to harvesting. Instead, they use shoulder-mounted combine harvesters and threshing machines directly in the fields, resulting in a slower harvesting process. According to assessments by the People's Committees of the districts, most rice fields yielded a good harvest, with an average yield of 4.9 - 5 tons/ha.

lua 10 — In the Spring crop season of 2025, the entire province planted 91,000 hectares of rice. By May 16th, many fields had almost finished harvesting. Immediately after harvesting the Spring rice crop, farmers turned to preparing the land for the Summer-Autumn rice crop. Currently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment is assessing the average yield of the Spring rice crop. However, according to our observations, while some areas experienced reduced yields, the majority achieved high yields. In the photo: Farmers in Do Luong district drying rice. Photo: Xuan Hoang
