In the winter-spring rice crop in Khanh Hoa Province this year, productivity is good and price purchase price is high. 
 
Nguyen Bung, in Dien Thanh Commune, Dien Khanh District, said, “This year, a pole (500sq.m.) of my family gives 6 sacks of rice. Some places in this commune, a pole may give 8 sacks of rice.” Thus, a hectare gives 6 - 8 tons of rice. 
 
In communes of Dien Lac, Dien Hoa, Dien Tho, etc., rice areas are being harvested. Interior field roads have been built well. Vehicles and machines for harvesting rice can go deeply into fields easily.

This is a higher figure than the average figure. Most of the rice fields here have been purchased at VND5,600 per kilogram of fresh rice.
