During the recent heavy rains, about 40 hectares of rice fields in Mau Duc commune were flooded. When the water receded, people went to the fields to check and most of the rice seeds had sprouted and turned white.
Besides, the harvested rice was transported home but due to the rain and humidity, it has germinated and cannot be used.
Sprouted rice cannot be used, so people have to use it as animal feed. Photo: BH

"It rained for 10 days straight, so even though the rice was ripe, we couldn't harvest it in time. When we got it, we didn't know where to dry it. Now the rice is all white and sprouted, so even if we harvest it, it will only be used as animal feed. This year, my family has lost everything," Ms. Quy shared.
The rice sprouted white, causing the people of Mau Duc commune, Con Cuong district, Nghe An province to lose more than 7 billion VND.
Mr. Quang Van Binh's family (living in Na Duoi village, Mau Duc commune) also planted 3 sao of summer-autumn rice. Taking advantage of the dry weather, his family mobilized all the labor force to harvest. However, the harvest was interrupted by heavy rain, so the rice could not be dried. Therefore, after only 3 days, the bundles of rice kept in the house also sprouted.

Many areas of summer-autumn rice have also sprouted. The total damage to rice area is estimated at more than 7 billion VND. In the coming days, if the weather is sunny, we will direct people to harvest as much as possible."
