After the Tet holiday, Ha Tinh farmers rushed to the fields, racing to catch up with the spring peanut production schedule, determined to cover 7,559 hectares according to the crop schedule.
Farmers in Cuong Gian commune (Nghi Xuan) are rushing to complete 45 hectares of spring peanuts in the next few days.
This spring crop, Nghi Xuan is the locality with the largest peanut acreage in the province. According to the plan, the whole district will cultivate 1,270 hectares, of which the key peanut granaries are Xuan My (170 hectares), Dan Truong (160 hectares), Xuan Vien and Xuan Thanh (140 hectares), Xuan My (130 hectares)... Currently, this locality is also leading the whole province in terms of production progress.

Up to this point, localities have completed planting 1,130/1,270 hectares, the remaining 140 hectares (mainly in wet areas) are urgently preparing for planting, striving to basically complete it in about 1 week".
After the Tet holidays, the fields in Loc Ha town are bustling with production.
Taking advantage of the locality's tradition of peanut production, farmers in Loc Ha district are rushing to the fields to compete with the crop calendar. People are determined to cover 926 hectares of peanuts, with an average yield of 26.6 quintals/hectare and an output of nearly 2,468 tons; the focus is on Loc Ha town (195 hectares), Thach Chau (186 hectares), Thinh Loc (180 hectares), Binh An (109 hectares), Thach My (100 hectares)...
With the goal of completing sowing in February to avoid the cold of Nang Ban (in March of the lunar calendar) as well as ensuring the growth, development and productivity of crops, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and localities in Loc Ha are focusing on directing, urging and encouraging people to sow according to plan.
Up to this point, about 65% of the area has been planted (mainly in sandy areas) and every day an additional 50 - 100 hectares are sown, so ensuring the crop schedule is completely feasible.
Farmers in Ky Xuan commune (Ky Anh district) are ready to "speed up" to plant peanuts according to the season.
Farmers in all districts, cities and towns are focusing on peanut production. Mr. Phan Cong Toan - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Ky Anh district said: "This spring crop, the district plans to grow 730 hectares of peanuts, striving to achieve a yield of 28 quintals/ha, an output of 2,044 tons. Due to many different reasons, up to this point, the whole district has only been able to plant about 18% of the total area (more than 130 hectares). Therefore, we are urgently urging, directing and coordinating with local authorities to speed up the sowing progress, "accelerating" the "sprint" stage to keep up with the crop schedule".
The sandy lands in Thach Ha are raised into high beds and deep trenches to ensure safety in production.
In the spring crop of 2024, the whole province plans to produce 7,599 hectares of peanuts, with an expected yield of 27.11 quintals/ha and an output of 20,601 tons; key areas are: Nghi Xuan, Cam Xuyen, Loc Ha, Thach Ha, Ky Anh district, Duc Tho...

Farmers in Binh An (Loc Ha) make efforts to cover the area and take care of peanut fields planted early (in early January).
This is the “final” stage of the crop calendar, so at this time, people are speeding up the planting progress, determined not to leave any area fallow. Up to this point, the planting progress has reached about 60% of the area. Many farmers are also focusing on caring for and protecting the areas that were planted early before.
