As many as 140,000ha of rice has been damaged so far in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam’s largest rice producer.
In the 2015-2016 Winter-Spring crop, there are 339,200ha of rice in coastal Mekong Delta provinces prone to saltwater intrusion and drought, 104,000ha of which have already been severely impacted. 
If the drought lasts through June, nearly 500,000ha of rice will have to remain unsown, equivalent to over 40% of the total area of coastal provinces and 30% of the overall cultivation acreage in the region.
