Taking advantage of the dry weather, farmers are rushing to the fields to tend to the planted areas, harvest some early winter crops, and plant additional crops to supply the market at the end of the year.
At this time, the winter crop planting area has been completed, and the crops are sprouting, growing, and developing well.

In recent years, farmers have applied advanced technology to intensive cultivation of commercial vegetables, increasing both yield and quality. Currently, there are 5 vegetable products that have achieved OCOP star status."

Sweet cabbage is priced at 3,000-5,000 VND/kg, and radish at 7,000 VND/kg.

Mr. Nguyen Van Dinh, from Tan Hai hamlet, Quynh Bang commune (Quynh Luu district), happily stated: “Although heavy rains at the beginning of the season damaged the onion plants and reduced yield, the higher price of green onions compared to previous years compensated for this, so farmers still earned tens of millions of VND per sao (approximately 1000 square meters) in profit.” Photo: Thanh PhucSweet corn and glutinous corn grown on double-cropped rice land are also beginning to be harvested. Many areas are cultivated under a cooperative model, with all agricultural products guaranteed for purchase. Photo: Thanh PhucTo supply the market and increase the value per unit area, farmers in specialized vegetable growing regions cultivate vegetables in staggered seasons, ensuring a consistent harvest for the market.
