VTV.vn - The recent Tropical Storm, christened Pabuk, caused serious damage for Ca Mau Province.

In addition to a number of sunk vessels and fishery farms suffering damage of more than 43 thousand USD, local cultivation has also experienced great losses.

Many farmers in Ca Mau's largest watermelon farming zone even shed tears when they saw their crops being submerged. Thousands of USD of investment were put into growing watermelon / but now farmers are facing great losses as their crops were about to be harvested for the Lunar New Year. All pumps have been used to save watermelon but efforts seem to be in vain.
