- Mrs. Tam, it's so sunny, are you planning to go to the fields or something?
- Weather like this is so bad, man. Should I stop working in the fields now?
- Hey, why do you say that? This is a traditional profession passed down from our ancestors. How can we just say we're retiring? It's like forgetting the lamp when we see the moon.
- Seeing that farming is too hard, now I'm thinking of asking the commune to move the land and build ridges to grow fruit trees or switch to digging ditches to raise fish and livestock, because I've been working so hard all the time that I've been bored. Oh, you used to complain like a pig back then, why are you lecturing me now?
- I'm not preaching anything, I just complain about it sometimes, but I've been attached to this profession for generations, how can I give it up?
- Go with the times, you can't always look back to the past.
- So you decided to "retire your career" right?
- Okay, let's decide that, I can't stand it anymore.
- No regrets, right?
- What's there to regret, I've been farming all my life, not just for 1, 2 days or 1, 2 months and then quit.
- So you haven't heard any news lately?
- What news?
- Don't care about beauty queens or queens, don't care about economic news or current events.
- Listen, if you talk nonsense I will throw you into the river for the crocodiles to eat.
- It's related to farming, a hot topic these days. The price of rice is skyrocketing. Rice is as precious as gold, the price has never increased so much as it does now.
- So I became a millionaire, because my family still has a granary of rice that can last a whole year.
- India - the world's largest rice exporter has temporarily suspended white rice exports, causing significant fluctuations in the international food market. As global food security is being affected by the shrinking agricultural sector, extreme weather has affected production, especially key agricultural products, especially rice in Asia or wheat in other countries.
- Will there ever be a day when people stop growing rice?
- It is for people who think like you, who feel so exhausted that they want to quit their jobs, that this can happen. Rice cultivation and production in our country is a big story, related to "food security" as emphasized by the Government. Currently, agriculture is emphasized as "Agricultural Economy", so our farmers have to change compared to before. Do you see on the news that many developed countries are still doing agriculture?
- You don't pay attention, but in my neighborhood, many people have abandoned rice to grow other crops. In the areas below Ca Mau and Bac Lieu, the rice growing area is increasingly shrinking, due to saltwater intrusion, people drain saltwater into rice fields to raise shrimp.
- Now, agriculture requires a new mindset, farmers in the fields must be modern farmers. Of course, on this journey, not only farmers can do it, it requires the connection and support of "many houses", many ministries, departments, branches and localities.
- That means how can we see the joy of farming, right?
- Every job and profession has its own difficulties, but when you have new thinking and good ways of doing things, the results are completely worth it.
- Now Vietnamese rice and rice from Asian countries are popular in many countries where they used to only eat bread and cereals. So rice farming will definitely become a hot job in the future, Mr. Tu. So I will not quit this job anymore.
- Rice production in general and agriculture in particular must change their thinking positively, must let modern farmers see the results worthy of the effort they put in, and to do so, the "agricultural economy" must be exploited properly, in the right way, in the right direction...
Mrs. TAM, Mr. 4
