At this time, local authorities are focusing on directing farmers to harvest spring rice. As of the morning of May 17, the entire district has harvested 500 hectares, reaching a rate of 5.3%.

In the spring crop of 2023, Cam Xuyen district will pilot the ST25 organic rice production model on a scale of 15 hectares in Dong Nam Ly village and Binh Quang village, Cam Binh commune. This is a model that applies organic microbial fertilizers and adds microbial preparations during soil preparation, helping the microorganisms in the soil to thrive, helping the rice plants grow better.
