NewzFarmers in the Bendahara District of Aceh Tamiang Regency, Indonesia, are currently harvesting rice manually using sickles while submerged in floodwaters. The ongoing inundation has forced agricultural workers to abandon mechanized harvesting methods in favor of traditional, labor-intensive techniques to salvage their crops.
This manual effort represents a critical attempt by local farmers to mitigate potential losses caused by the flooding. By harvesting under these difficult conditions, the community aims to secure as much of the rice yield as possible before the water causes further damage to the fields.
