(Baonghean.vn) - The historic flood over the past two days has caused a total loss of vegetable fields in Hung Dong, Vinh city, causing billions of dong in damage.
 |
| Hung Dong vegetable field, Vinh city has more than 40 hectares of winter vegetables. The flood in the past two days has devastated the entire vegetable field, causing an estimated loss of billions of dong. |
 |
This is the sprouted mustard greens of Mr. Nguyen Van Duong of Dong Vinh Vegetable Cooperative, which is about to be harvested. The flood has ruined the vegetable crop that is about to be harvested with 5 sao. |
 |
| This is newly planted lettuce but it has all gone bad. Lettuce costs 4 million VND/kg, so Mr. Tran Van Due's family lost nearly 10 million VND. Chrysanthemum, coriander, and onions were all gone too. |
 |
| The net system for shading from the sun and rain was also damaged. Each family growing vegetables here invested about 20 million VND in nets, poles, and water pumps. |
 |
| Vegetables ready to harvest are broken and bruised. |
 |
| Taking advantage of the dry weather, Hung Dong farmers went to the fields to replant vegetables in time to supply customers. Farmers said that vegetables have to be grown even in heavy rain. |
 |
| Despite the loss, Hung Dong farmers still go back to the fields to grow vegetables to supply customers such as restaurants and eateries that have placed orders. |
 |
| To compete with the weather, people incubate seeds in advance so that vegetables grow quickly. With this method, sprouts can be harvested after only 6-7 days of sowing. |
 |
| A few well covered vegetable beds are still growing and are expected to be harvested in the next 3 days if it doesn't rain. |
