The Việt Nam Red Cross Society (VNRC) launched a campaign to help COVID-19-hit Hải Dương’s farmers sell their agricultural products on Tuesday.

With the first COVID-19 vaccine doses slated to arrive in the country later this month, the Vietnamese health ministry has issued its initial vaccination rollout plan, including the priority groups to be given the jabs.

Seeing thousands of tonnes of farming products stuck and set to spoil in the northern province of Hải Dương, individuals and groups in and out of the province have helped out.

Trần Mạnh Quý, 32, lives in Xuân Du Commune, Như Thanh, Thanh Hóa Province. His income has hit VNĐ700 million (US$30,300) per year and he has created jobs for 10 local labourers with a salary of VNĐ5 million each monthly.
