Farmers brave the heat to harvest the spring rice crop.

These days, Lao Cai is experiencing a peak heatwave. In key farming areas, the rice fields have ripened to a golden yellow, and farmers are taking advantage of the lower temperatures of the day—early morning and late afternoon—to help harvest the rice.

In the spring season, the entire province planted over 9,600 hectares of rice, concentrated in the districts of Bao Thang, Van Ban, Bao Yen, Bat Xat, etc. At this time, farmers across the fields have begun harvesting rice.

Early in the morning, taking advantage of the cool weather, ethnic minority women in Quang Kim commune, Bat Xat district, go to the fields to harvest rice. They often exchange labor with each other to save on hiring costs.

A bustling atmosphere of work prevails across the fields.
