    Yen Bai - After the recent flood, farmers in Dai Minh commune, Yen Binh district are facing a situation of losing everything, losing their main source of income.

    Originally a land with soil and climate conditions very suitable for growing grapefruit, for many generations, Dai Minh grapefruit has been known as "royal grapefruit", becoming the main source of income for the people of this land.

    However, after the flood caused by the circulation of storm No. 3, more than 100 hectares of grapefruit plantations of the people were flooded and damaged. Of which, nearly 50 hectares were completely damaged, many families became penniless overnight.

    Looking sadly at the surviving trees of more than 300 grapefruit trees of his family, Mr. Do Van Bang (68 years old, Minh Than village, Dai Minh commune) said: "All of our assets were submerged in the recent flood. Not to mention I am waiting for this year's harvest to pay off the debt of more than 100 million VND".
    Nhung qua buoi bi ung nuoc nam la liet duoi cac goc cay, nam rai rac khap cac vuon.
    Waterlogged grapefruits lay scattered under the trees and throughout the gardens.

    Having just received a deposit of more than 30 million VND from a trader for the upcoming crop, Ms. Hoang Thi Ngoc (Minh Than village) sadly and painfully returned the money. "More than 200 grapefruit trees of her family are slowly dying. If there was no flood, her family would have harvested tens of thousands of grapefruits, estimated at more than 100 million VND, but now she can only salvage 5 million VND," the woman lamented.
    Nhung qua buoi heo con sot lai tren cay da ua vang.
    The remaining grapefruits on the tree have turned yellow.

    After a period of flooding, many grapefruit trees showed signs of dry and cracked trunks, some trees completely withered. Large branches began to dry out and rot, and the trees could not recover.

    Dai Minh is the commune with the largest area of ​​specialty grapefruit in Yen Binh district with nearly 500 hectares, of which 450 hectares are in the business period. Due to the impact of storm No. 3, more than 100 hectares of grapefruit in the villages of Kha Linh, Minh Than, Cau Mo were damaged, leaving people empty-handed.

    Grapefruit trees are losing leaves and fruit. Many trees that were ready to be harvested are now dying en masse, with fruit falling all over the ground, causing many businesses to go from millionaires to debtors.

    Mr. Nguyen Kieu Hung, Party Secretary and Chairman of the People's Committee of Dai Minh Commune (Yen Binh - Yen Bai) said that grapefruit is a source of income for people in the commune, and after the recent flood, it has been severely damaged. In the immediate future, for areas where grapefruit trees have completely died, the commune recommends that people treat the tree roots, improve the soil, and restore production, first of all, planting short-term crops such as winter corn.
