| Due to the rain, the harvested rice bundles cannot be threshed. Ms. Nguyen Thi Van in Nghi Yen commune, Nghi Loc district said: The harvested rice must be piled up in the yard, waiting for the threshing machine, but due to the rain, the threshing machines do not work. If the rice is left like that, it will wither, affecting the yield. Photo: Quang An |

| This year, Nghi Loc district planted 7,600 hectares of spring rice, and has already harvested about 30% of the area. Heavy rain has affected the harvesting and drying process of the farmers.
