This area cannot be repaired due to deep flooding, lack of pumping stations, and no irrigation system to ensure production.
Mr. Khai said: "For heavy rains and periods of heavy rain in October - November every year, almost every year the freshwater region of Tran Van Thoi district is deeply flooded, greatly affecting the production of people." . The district has proposed to superiors to continue paying attention and investing in perfecting the irrigation system, helping farmers in Tran Van Thoi district stabilize production."
Besides the need to invest in completing the closed irrigation system, the agricultural sector of Tran Van Thoi district also recommends investing in 16 pumping stations with a capacity of about 600,000m3/hour to proactively pump and regulate water. in the sweet zone.
Mr. Nguyen Van Cung (in hamlet 5, Khanh Binh Dong commune, Tran Van Thoi district) has 3 hectares of rice seeds that are about 40 days old. Two long periods of heavy rain after sowing caused the entire rice area of the family to be deeply flooded, in some places the water surface was more than 1 meter from the foot of the field. Mr. Cung's family is facing the risk of losing their entire crop.
“The other day, rice that was more than 1 month old was flooded, leaving only about 3 hectares of 3 hectares left. Another heavy rain this time is considered a total loss. Roughly calculating the money for seeds, fertilizers, plowing, etc., is over 20 million VND, and many other households are also suffering losses," Mr. Cuong said.
Mr. Nguyen Viet Khoi (in Khanh Binh Dong commune, Tran Van Thoi district), his family built 6 hectares, but the flood situation made it impossible to pump water out because the rain flooded the entire embankment, damaging about 50 - 60% of the area.
“There are only a few rice plants left because the water flooded too quickly and high. Farmers here only farm, but the summer-autumn crop is flooded every year. In previous years, sometimes there was a harvest, sometimes not. With the flooding situation this year, the family does not know whether they will be able to harvest or not because they have spent a lot of money," Mr. Khoi expressed.
Every year in the summer-autumn rice crop, people in Khanh Binh Dong commune, Tran Van Thoi district proactively sow early from the beginning of the rainy season, to avoid heavy rains right at harvest time. However, this year the drought lasted so long that the rain came late.
In the past few days, due to the influence of continuous rain and low pressure , the rice was deeply flooded right at the time of tillering, and unable to overcome it, it was waterlogged. People considered pumping water, but the embankments were also flooded, water outside the irrigation canals could not drain, so people had to watch the rice damage.
