According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, by December 3, the whole province had planted about 21,300 hectares of winter vegetables, exceeding the plan by 250 hectares. Many of the province's main vegetables were basically planted in excess of the planned area. The largest area was onions and garlic with 6,621 hectares (121 hectares more than the plan), carrots with 1,220 hectares (20 hectares more than the plan)...

More than half of the districts, towns and cities in the province have achieved and exceeded the plan for growing winter vegetables. Kinh Mon town is leading the province in terms of planted vegetable area with 4,481 hectares, followed by Nam Sach district with 2,730 hectares, Gia Loc with 2,355 hectares, Kim Thanh with 2,288 hectares...

After storm No. 3 (storm Yagi ) and the historic flood that followed, favorable weather and few pests and diseases created favorable conditions for growing winter vegetables. Winter crop production progress was fast because most of the area was mechanized in all stages from rice harvesting, land preparation to sowing, irrigation, etc.

Thousands of hectares of carrots and potatoes planted outside the dike are growing well, with negligible pests and diseases, promising high yields.

Currently, many areas of early winter vegetables such as cabbage, kohlrabi, leafy vegetables, watermelon... in localities such as Tu Ky, Gia Loc, Kim Thanh, Thanh Mien have been harvested. Farmers are basically making profits, high profits. After the harvest, people have been preparing the land to plant and care for the second crop of vegetables.

Hai Duong has set a target of planting 1,000 hectares more winter vegetables than planned. Farmers in the province are currently actively planting cold-loving vegetables to sell in time for the upcoming Tet At Ty.
