Talking to Dan Viet newspaper reporter, Ms. Phan Ly (in Quang Luu commune, Quang Trach district, Quang Binh province) said: "On the 4th day of the Lunar New Year, I went to plant rice. After finishing planting 6 sao of rice for my family, I started to plant for hire. While planting rice in the field, my phone often received calls for planting. To conveniently contact people in need, I created a chat group on Zalo and posted an announcement there so that everyone could proactively go plant for hire."

"Every day, a hired rice planter can receive from 300,000 to 500,000 VND depending on the form of daily labor or contracted rice field. However, contracted rice planters have to work more and the work is more difficult," said Ms. Ly.

Mr. Nguyen Van Nam (in Quang Phuong commune, Quang Trach district, Quang Binh province) said: "After Tet, I went to the field to plant rice with my wife. Seeing her bent over all day, I couldn't help it. I made a stick with 3 small iron rods attached to the end to pull out the seedlings and plant them in the soil on the field. This planting is a bit slow but it saves back pain."

Not only women, many men also go to the fields to plant rice in time for the growing stage. Photo: Tran Anh
