Hanoi: The rice paddy fish farming season in Can Tho is reaching an end, with farmers urgently harvesting fish to prepare for the 2025-2026 winter-spring rice crop. In various communes of Can Tho city, such as Vi Thuy, Vi Thanh 1, Vinh Vien, Luong Tam, and Xa Phien, locals skip a rice growing season in autumn-winter 2025, instead utilising natural floodwaters to farm fishes and aquatic species. According to Vietnam News Agency, the strategic decision to forego the autumn-winter rice crop allows farmers in Can Tho to take advantage of the natural floodwaters, which provide an ideal environment for fish farming. This method not only supports local livelihoods but also helps maintain ecological balance in the region.
