Lam Dong coastal fish sauce production area severely affected

Rising floodwaters combined with high tides have caused many new flooding spots in residential areas and roads in coastal localities of Lam Dong province. In particular, the fish sauce production area in this area has been seriously affected.

Water level of Phu Hai River (also known as Cai River) recorded on the morning of December 5

According to records, since yesterday morning, December 5, the traditional fish sauce production and processing area in Phu Hai (Phu Thuy ward) has been deeply flooded. According to incomplete statistics, more than 60 fish sauce production and processing facilities have been affected.

A corner of the fish sauce processing area was flooded.

Locals said the water rose quickly and peaked at around 7 p.m. on December 4. Many processing factories were unable to react in time, so all kinds of raw materials were submerged in water.

People in the fish sauce production area moved out of the flooded area.

Mr. Huynh Thien Huan, owner of a fish sauce facility, said: "There were no workers at night so the water rose suddenly, damaging 20 tons of salt that had just been imported to prepare for the new fish sauce crop."
