Prolonged hot temperatures have been causing difficulties to farmers in the Central provinces of Nghe An and Thanh Hoa. Thousands of hectares of rice were killed because of this record hot weather.

Saltwater intrusion and drought had damaged 16,500 hectares of winter rice crop grown on shrimp-farming land in Ca Mau Province last year; of which, 14,000 hectares of winter rice had been completely lost. 

After provinces in the North Central Coast, some provinces in the South Central Coast have been seriously affected by drought drying up rivers and ponds, causing paddy fields to be fallowed and upseting the life of local people. This is considered as one of the most severe droughts in many decades.
