ABO - Chairman of Tien Giang People's Committee Le Van Huong surveyed the harvest of rice winter-spring in the eastern region, on the afternoon of March 11.

He surveyed the harvest of rice in Binh Nghi commune, Gia Thuan commune of Go Cong Dong district), Binh Xuan commune of Go Cong town and Thanh Tri commune  of Go Cong Tay district.

At the same time, comrade Le Van Huong also surveyed a point of growing vegetables in Binh Xuan commune, Go Cong town.

In general, the area was sowed before December 15, 2019, which developed well with the yield from 6 to 7 tons per 1 ha thanks to the initiative of pumping water storage of local authorities. If farmers sowed rice after December 12, 2019, the productivity was affected by drought, salinity with the yield as only reaches 5-6 tons per ha.

Although the upstream communes faced difficulties in production water during the early stages of the drought such as Binh Nghi commune, Gia Thuan commune of Go Cong Dong district, the rice crop in this area surpassed drought and salinity thanks to the initiative in water supply production by the Provincial People's Committee.
