Rice seedlings from Nhut Nghe An are in high demand at the market.

In recent days, in front of Con market gate, Thanh Duong commune, Thanh Chuong district, there has been a display of rice seedlings attracting farmers from neighboring communes to buy and sell. Photo: An Nam

According to local people, this year's spring rice crop, when incubating and sowing seeds, was damaged a lot, especially the 3-line hybrid rice variety VT404, many households lacked seedlings, so the rice seedlings stalls at Con market opened earlier, with more buyers and sellers. Photo: An Nam

On this occasion, households with thick rice fields, if they have workers, often prune some of the rice and bring it to the market to sell. Some households sell rice seedlings, some with 5-7 bundles, some with hundreds of bundles. Photo: An Nam

To have bundles of rice seedlings to sell at the market, people have to pull the seedlings from the previous afternoon and tie them into small bundles with bamboo rope or straw. A woman in Thanh Duong commune (Thanh Chuong) who sells rice seedlings said that her family has 5 sao of rice fields, and in the past few days has trimmed the seedlings and sold them for more than 1 million VND; she is preparing to sell more than 100 bundles of rice seedlings to another family to earn another 1 million VND.

People who buy rice seedlings often choose the same variety of rice seedlings they are sowing and planting in the field, such as VT 404, Thai Xuyen, Khang Dan, WN 305... not too concerned about good or bad rice seedlings. If rice seedlings are scarce, people will buy other varieties, buy whatever variety they find, as long as they can cover and plant the entire area. Photo: An Nam

The price of seedlings at Con market is being bought and sold by people from 8,000 - 15,000 VND/bundle, depending on the type of seedlings. Those who buy seedlings share: A small bundle of about 2 handfuls of seedlings costs around 10,000 VND, which is expensive, because the seedlings are old, the plants are big, and there are few plants. Planting 1 sao of rice field usually requires hundreds of bundles of seedlings, costing millions of dong. Photo: An Nam

The rice seedlings at Con Market meet the needs of people buying and selling rice seedlings. At the rice seedlings stall, the buying and selling takes place quite quickly. Some people who go to the market to sell rice seedlings also take the opportunity to go to the fields to pull more seedlings to sell at the market. In recent days, rice seedlings have been quite popular, selling out as much as they can. Many people who go to the market cannot even buy rice seedlings to plant as a replacement. Photo: An Nam

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy in Thanh Lam commune (Thanh Chuong) went to Con market to buy rice seedlings and shared: Her family has 3 sao of rice fields, almost all the rice seedlings died and she could only plant 1 sao, the remaining 2 sao had to be bought. With the current price of rice seedlings, if she planted all the fields, it would cost a lot of money, but she could not bear to leave the fields fallow. Photo: An Nam
