Mekong Delta rice farmers are facing the prospect of their crop getting spoiled and inflicting heavy losses as reapers remain idle without enough diesel to operate them.

 

It has been more than ten days since the rice crop that Nguyen Thi Nhao’s family cultivates on 1.3 hectares (3.2 acres) in Phuoc Long District, Bac Lieu Province has ripened.

 

However, she has not been able to hire any reaper to harvest the crop. The reaper operator said the service has stalled for almost a week now due to a lack of diesel.
