HAI DUONG The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Hai Duong in coordination with the People's Committee of Tu Ky district (Hai Duong) on June 12 organized the 2024 organic rice - earthworm festival.

Along both sides of the dike are organic agricultural production areas, including: rice, bananas, leafy vegetables, herbs and more than 200 hectares have been converted to organic rice-worm farming since 2020, after the locality invested in building the Soi sluice to bring water into the fields.
This is the third consecutive year that Tu Ky district has organized this activity. The festival took place in a jubilant and exciting atmosphere, attracting a large number of farmers to participate.
On this occasion, Bao Minh Agricultural Processing and Trading Joint Stock Company, New Generation Agriculture Joint Stock Company and An Thanh Agricultural Service Cooperative signed a contract for production cooperation associated with organic product consumption, cooperation in eco-tourism and experience.
The highlight of this year's festival is the organic spring rice harvesting competition on the earthworm land of An Thanh commune, attracting 3 teams from An Lao, An Dinh and Thanh Ky villages (An Thanh commune).
Each team consists of 10 members, competing to harvest 150m2 of rice by hand in 20 minutes. Not only must the harvest be fast, but the rice must also be bundled neatly and carefully.
