Rice falls over, farmers grit their teeth and rent cutting machines at high prices
Rice fields have fallen due to storms and rain, making harvesting difficult. Many farmers in the West have gritted their teeth and rented cutting machines at high prices, but the harvest is still behind schedule.
Many rice fields in the provinces and cities of the Western region such as Can Tho, Hau Giang, etc. are in the harvest stage. However, the stormy weather combined with the difficulty of renting cutting machines has resulted in the ripe rice not being harvested in time, causing a loss in productivity.
Meanwhile, the price of renting a cutting machine increased from 50,000 - 100,000 VND/cong (1 cong = 1,000 square meters), depending on the level of fallen rice.
