Mekong Delta harvests bumper early rice crop

HCM City (VNA) - By last week-end, farmers in the Mekong Delta had harvested more than 130,000 ha out of the region's total 400,000 ha of early summer-autumn rice, which yielded between 5-5.5 tonnes per ha.

Rice price in the region is raising with one kilo of paddy currently
selling for 5,100-5,500 VND, up by 2,000-2,500 VND over the same crop last
year.

This year, farmers in the region planted 1.5 million ha of summer-autumn
rice, including 400,000 ha of the early summer-autumn crop.-Enditem
