Mekong Delta prepares for summer-autumn rice crop
Authorities in the Cửu Long (Mekong) Delta have warned farmers to sow the Summer-Autumn rice crop on schedule to ensure water for irrigation and avoid diseases.
In areas where there is a water shortage, rice farmers have been encouraged to switch to grow drought-resistant crops.
With assistance from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s plant cultivation department, the southern region is scheduled to sow the rice between April and June.
