Mr. Dang Thanh Hung - who has about 2 hectares of land growing vegetables in Phuoc Hanh B hamlet (Phuoc Hau ward), said: Weather greatly affects vegetable productivity.

If the weather is hot for a long time, vegetables will easily wilt and lose water, but the more dangerous thing is that if there is sudden rain, vegetables will be shocked by heat, the soil will easily become waterlogged, causing fungus to develop, causing a high rate of damage. This is the main reason why my vegetable yield has decreased by more than 20%, the supply is low so the price of vegetables tends to increase.
