North Vietnam Faces Worst Farm Disaster in a Decade
North Vietnam battles floods and a labor shortage that threaten its fall rice crop. Allied sources say up to 10 percent, about 600,000 tons, may be destroyed while cultivable land shrinks by as much as 40 percent due to manpower drain and a shift of workers to the army. Grain imports rise from Eastern Europe, with estimates of 1.7 million tons needed in 1969 if supplies fail. The Red River delta, source of most rice, was hit just after planting, risking famine for nearly 19 million people.
