These days, people in Trung Luong ward (Hong Linh town) are in the season of exploiting earthworms, with each person being able to earn millions of dong each night from this mollusk.
These days, in 35 hectares of rice fields outside La Giang dike in Trung Luong ward (Hong Linh town), the first harvest of the season's rươi has begun.
Before harvesting the worms, people open the sluices to let the river tide flow into their fields, then block the sluices and after a few hours the worms will surface.
Mr. Kieu Dinh Thien's family in Phuc Son residential group, Trung Luong ward (Hong Linh town) has 7 sao of rice fields outside La Giang dike participating in the organic rice production model exploiting natural rươi. In recent days, every night, Mr. Thien and his wife turn on the lights, spread nets at the tidal drainage from the fields, prepare buckets and basins ready to wait for the rươi to float with the water to harvest.
Mr. Thien excitedly shared: In the first 3 days of the season, my family harvested 50kg. As soon as the rươi was harvested, traders bought it, with a price of about 350 - 400 thousand VND/kg, my family earned 17 million VND.
At this time, Mr. Le Dinh Khanh (TPD Phuc Son) is also rushing to harvest the first batches of the year on his family's 4 sao of rice fields. Mr. Khanh said: "To have a successful rice field crop, along with favorable natural factors, applying technology to production, investing in soil improvement, creating a good breeding and development environment for rice fields are very important factors. The entire rice field area for rice field harvesting does not use chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides...
Mr. Nguyen Cao Hoang - Chairman of the Trung Luong Ward Farmers' Association said: "It is the beginning of the rươi season, but the weather is not favorable due to heavy rain, so the exploitation output is not high. It is estimated that in the last 3 days, people have exploited more than 300kg of rươi, earning more than 100 million VND". This year, out of nearly 35 hectares of rice fields that have started to harvest rươi, there are 9 hectares with 34 households participating in the organic rice production model on fields exploited for natural rươi. The model is implemented by the Center for Experimental High-Tech Agricultural Biology under the Vietnam Agricultural Genetics Institute in coordination with the Department of Science and Technology of Ha Tinh.

The town will direct the strengthening of propaganda and guidance for people to apply the organic rice production model on natural rươi fields; apply the process and strictly comply with regulations to ensure environmental hygiene in rươi fields to create a favorable environment for rươi to grow better and have higher productivity.
