(Viet Nam) Delta diesel scarcity hits rice harvest, fishing

[phantom power]

“The field is lush with ripening rice, and without fuel how can we run harvesting machines?” Pham Van Sau, a farmer from the loval Hung Dien commune, said.

In other, farmers have harvested their crop and need to pump water to till the land for the next crop.

In Tri Ton District in An Giang Province and Hon Dat, Kien Luong, and Giang Thanh in Kien Giang, there are hardly any machines in use due to the shortage of fuel.

Fishermen are also facing trouble with many of their boats remaining beached as they wait for fuel.

Each boat requires 12,000 – 15,000 liters of diesel while gas stations only sell 10 liters.
