Cambodian harvesters in Mekong Delta

If you have a chance to visit Dong Thap Muoi region in the southern Long An province during the harvesting season, you will be able to enjoy the limitless expanses of paddy fields dotted here and there with Cambodian farmers.

Since there is a shortage of local harvesters during the season, local people have to turn to hiring Cambodian workers to help them do field work like digging, spraying fertilizers, and harvesting rice.

Many poor Cambodia laborers often cross the border to Vietnam’s Dong Thap Muoi region to earn a living to feed their families at home.

Following are some photos by Tuoi Tre:

It’s very easy to recognize the close relationship between and Vietnamese owners and Cambodian workers. They treat one another like good friends.

Local rice field owners told Tuoi Tre that Cambodian laborers work very hard and well, adding they are willing to do all the hard work.

Meanwhile, according to Cambodian workers, Vietnamese employers are very kind.
