For centuries Vietnamese female farmers have been the backbone of the agricultural sector, working hard to produce rice and other essential items for society.

These women do not care much about receiving fresh flowers and special gifts or being invited to an expensive restaurant on International Women’s Day.

For them, a bumper crop and a happy family are the best presents of all. And for us, these women are like beautiful flowers on the field shining with their radiant smiles.
