Heavy rains from storm Conson in the last few days have wreaked havoc on paddy and vegetable crops in Da Nang.

Here are some images of the damage after heavy rains lashed Da Nang.

Hoa Vang District’s Hoa Khuong Commune People’s Committee Chairman Nguyen Chi Tri said before storm Conson, 30 hectares of paddy fields in Hoa Khuong Commune had not yet been harvested, of which, 20 hectares were at green ring stage while 10 others were in the ripening process and got ripened only 70%.

Many rice plants are flattened by heavy rains. Long spells of rains in the past few days have devastated paddy crops.

A woman farmer in Phu Son Tay Village, Hoa Khuong Commune, mourns as she sees her damaged paddy crop.

Germinating rice grains are seen in flattened paddy fields.

Heavy rains combined with high river level caused flooding which destroyed many cultivated areas in the La Huong vegetable farm in Cam Le District.

The damaged area of the La Huong vegetable farm is seen after the waters receded. Such vegetable crops as amaranth, fenugreek, chili, melon, squash, cinnamon have been devastated.

Vines are among those that have survived heavy rains.

Water spinach is a rare vegetable that can withstand flooding, and many farmers harvest it for home and market.

The arrival of flood season has given vegetable growers even greater anxiety and worry.
