Recently, Mr. Nguyen Van De, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, and his delegation inspected the progress of the spring rice harvest in several localities throughout the province. The Vice Chairman noted that rice in many areas is now ripe. Following the principle of "better to harvest while still green than to let it ripen too much," localities should take advantage of favorable weather conditions, organize propaganda and mobilize farmers to concentrate machinery and manpower to quickly harvest the spring rice crop to avoid unusual weather phenomena such as rain and storms causing flooding and damage to rice yield and production.
