Since early May, the spring rice crop in Nghe An has turned golden. Farmers in Yen Thanh, Do Luong, Dien Chau districts... and some mountainous districts have been busy harvesting rice. Photo: Xuan Hoang

Thanks to the mechanization of combine harvesters, the rice harvest is accelerated for farmers. This is also an opportunity for farmers to prepare for early planting of summer-autumn rice. Photo: Xuan Hoang

This spring crop, according to our records, in the fields of Do Luong district and other districts such as Thanh Chuong, Yen Thanh, Anh Son, Dien Chau, Quynh Luu... besides some areas with reduced productivity, the rest still have a good harvest, large flowers, and firm seeds. Photo: Quang An

According to the people, the weather these days is not favorable for harvesting crops, because it is cloudy and sometimes rainy, so whenever there is sunshine, people call the machine to go to the fields to harvest rice. Photo: Xuan Hoang

As the rice ripens, the hamlets take advantage of the sunny weather to mobilize harvesters to speed up the progress. Photo: Quang An

The rice is packaged right on the machine and loaded by the mechanic right at the edge of the field for the owner. This year, the mechanic collects the price at 160,000 - 180,000 VND/sao (depending on the field). Photo: Xuan Hoang

Mr. Nguyen Khanh Lien in My Khanh hamlet, Van Tu commune, Yen Thanh district said that this spring crop, his family planted 11 sao of rice, including 4 sao of Khang Dan variety and 7 sao of various hybrid rice varieties. By May 15, the family had finished harvesting the entire area, and overall this year's rice yield still reached 3.5 quintals/sao. Photo: Xuan Hoang

In addition to rice harvesting machines, each hamlet has a team to transport rice from the fields to their homes, using agricultural vehicles. The cost of transporting rice is collected by the vehicle owners from 100,000 VND/trip (depending on the distance). Photo: Xuan Hoang

In mountainous districts: Anh Son, Con Cuong, Tuong Duong, Que Phong... at this time, farmers also go to the fields to harvest the 2025 Spring rice crop. Photo: Quang An

Ms. Vi Thi My Hanh in Boong village, Lang Khe commune (Con Cuong) planted 500m2 ^of spring rice. Thanks to hybrid rice and proper care, the yield was high, and the family harvested 300kg of rice. Photo: Quang An

For people in the highlands, because the fields are still fragmented and terraced, they do not apply mechanization to harvesting but use shoulder harvesters and threshers right in the fields, so the harvesting progress is somewhat slower. According to the assessment of the People's Committees of the districts, most of the rice areas have a good harvest, with an average yield of 4.9 - 5 tons/ha.

In the 2025 Spring crop, the whole province planted 91,000 hectares of rice. By May 16, many fields had almost finished harvesting. Immediately after harvesting the Spring rice crop, people turned to cultivating the land for Summer-Autumn rice. Currently, the Department of Agriculture and Environment is assessing the average yield of the Spring rice crop. However, according to our records, besides some areas with reduced productivity, the majority achieved high productivity. In the photo: Farmers in Do Luong district dry rice. Photo: Xuan Hoang
