In the first days of 2025, Nghe An farmers rushed to the fields to produce early spring rice. Many fields used tray seeding machines to speed up the progress.

cay 9 — In the fields of Yen Thanh and Dien Chau districts... in early January 2025, farmers hurriedly went to the fields to sow and plant spring rice. In addition to the fields that were sown and planted by hand, rice transplanters were also used. Mr. Nguyen Tho Trang - Director of the Nam Thanh Commune Agricultural Service Cooperative (Yen Thanh) said that this spring, the cooperative has 12 4-row rice transplanters to serve farmers. The cooperative has received 220 hectares of rice transplanting for farmers in Nam Thanh commune and neighboring communes. Photo: Xuan Hoang

cay 3 — After the field owner receives enough seedlings, the mechanic will arrange the seedlings on the machine to start planting. The machine owners said that the transplanting machine can adjust the sparseness and depth of the rice plants according to the field owner's request. Photo: Xuan Hoang

cay 8 — With a 4-row transplanter, 1.5 hectares of rice field can be transplanted each day. However, for the transplanter to work, the field must not be more than 30cm deep and it is best to wait 4-5 days after tilling to let the mud settle. Because if the soil is just prepared, the mud will be thin and the rice plants will fall over, but if the soil is left for too long after tilling, the soil will become hard, making it difficult to plant the seedlings.

cay 20 — Rice transplanting by machine has many advantages: Firstly, it reduces costs, because to transplant 1 sao of rice field, farmers only spend 410,000 VND for both seedlings and transplanting labor (if hiring a transplanter, it is 400,000 VND/sao). Secondly, transplanting in straight rows and rows 30cm apart, bushes are equally spaced from 15-20cm apart, creating convenience in the care process, giving higher productivity. Photo: Xuan Hoang

cay 15 — The muddy fields are too deep for machines to work, so farmers have to work by hand. Many families have to hire workers to work at a cost of 400,000 VND/person. A worker can work 1 sao of rice field per day. Mr. Nguyen Van Sy in Lam Thanh hamlet, Nam Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district has 4 sao of rice field, but because his family only has his grandparents at home, he has to hire 4 workers to work in the field in 1 day.

cay 16 — Transplanting by hand is much more difficult, because we have to transport the seedlings to the field and plant each bush by hand, while the weather is freezing cold in winter. Photo: Xuan Hoang

cay 7 — Yen Thanh district is the province's rice granary. Mr. Le Van Hong - Head of the district's Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said: This spring crop, the whole district planted 12,800 hectares of rice, accordingly, the district structured the main hybrid rice varieties: Thai Xuyen 111, VT 868, Thuy Huong 307, Phu Uu 98; for pure rice, the structure of varieties: TVR 225, Bac Thom 7 and glutinous rice varieties. From January 4, 2025, farmers in low-lying communes: Nam Thanh, Khanh Thanh, Lien Thanh, Long Thanh.... went to the fields to sow spring rice, with the aim of harvesting earlier to sow summer-autumn rice to avoid flooding.

cay 4 — Dien Chau district also planted 8,500 hectares of rice this spring crop. Mr. Le The Hieu - Head of the district's Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said that from January 5, 2025, farmers in communes along the Bung River and some other low-lying communes will start planting spring rice. Accordingly, the early planting area of phase 1 of about 1,000 hectares will end in mid-January, then proceed to plant phase 2 on the remaining areas. Photo: Xuan Hoang

cay 22 — However, instead of sowing rice seedlings, many farmers in Yen Thanh district have switched to sowing and transplanting rice. Mr. Nguyen Xuan Bon in Hong Thinh hamlet, Thinh Thanh commune said that his family has nearly 3 sao of rice fields, all of which are sown and transplanted. Although sowing and transplanting speeds up the process and costs less, when it comes to the care period, it takes a lot of time to remove thick areas and replant in sparse areas. Photo: Xuan Hoang

cay 10 — Nghe An's food output target for 2025 is about 1.2 million tons; of which, the 2025 spring crop must strive to reach 708,800 tons of food. Accordingly, in the upcoming spring crop, the whole province strives to plant 90,500 hectares of rice and about 20,000 hectares of corn, peanuts, vegetables of all kinds... The province's guiding spirit is to be flexible, decisive and mobilize the entire political system to focus on directing production; maximally exploit and promote all resources so that the 2025 spring crop reaches the highest level in terms of area, productivity, output, ensuring safe and highly effective production.
