Bustling peanut season
(Baonghean.vn) - For decades, the people of Dien Thinh commune, Dien Chau district (Nghe An) have been famous for their agricultural product "stirring" profession, especially peanut "stirring" profession. Now the peanut "stirring" profession has become a closed service, from harvesting peanuts locally, purchasing from areas inside and outside the province to the preliminary processing stage and then selling to domestic and foreign markets.
