In Âu Lạc (Vietnam), summer-autumn rice and vegetables have been inundated by heavy rains, submerging thousands of hectares. In the provinces of Hậu Giang and Long An, parts of rice paddies have been destroyed and continued overcast weather is preventing the remaining rice from drying naturally, reducing its quality and price.

Over 2,000 personnel along with 3,000 pumps are working to fortify the levee systems and clear the fields of water.

We thank the workers for their diligent endeavors to improve the agricultural conditions of the Mekong Delta. May the people of Âu Lạc enjoy prosperous and wholesome yields as Earth’s stability is ensured through our greater consideration and care.
