Floods Cut North Vietnam Rice Harvest by 800000 Tons
U S intelligence notes floods destroyed about 800000 tons of North Vietnam rice, ten percent of this year's crop, forcing use of next year stock. China and Russia supply aid and may boost food shipments while internal political rumors in Beijing could slow China’s response. Russia faces a shortfall and storage losses, raising its own wheat import needs. Floods also delay a Haiphong Vinh fuel pipeline project, potentially freeing manpower for other tasks.
