Van Ninh farmers plant more than 800 hectares of summer-autumn rice

For areas where water sources are not enough to irrigate rice but still ensure short-term vegetable crops or areas where there is no more irrigation water but other water sources can be exploited (groundwater, water from lakes, dams, rivers and streams, etc.), the People's Committees of communes and towns direct and guide farmers to switch to growing short-term vegetable crops such as corn, peanuts, green beans, watermelon, cantaloupe, chili, etc.; strengthen propaganda and mobilize farmers to change the crop structure on rice land, etc.

Currently, farmers in the southern communes and towns of the district are also focusing on harvesting the remaining areas of winter-spring rice for the 2024-2025 crop. According to statistics from the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Van Ninh district, local farmers have harvested more than 2,500 hectares of winter-spring rice, reaching 70% of the area put into production during the crop, with a yield of 72 quintals/ha.
