VTV.vn - Provinces of the Mekong Delta are at the peak of flooding season.

According to scientists, people in this area should not produce rice crops for the 3rd season, since growing rice crops at this time not only faces risks of further floods, but also diseases. 

During flooding season, farmers can grow aquatic plants such as Water Mimosa, which is popular in the market. According to cooperatives, some markets are in need of these vegetables. This is a model that helps farmers increase their income during flooding season and solves local employment problems relatively effectively.
