Attempts have been made by the government to solve the problem.
Farmers cooperatives as well as bank for agriculture and agricultural cooperatives BAAC have been set up to release farmers from their debt-burden conditions for more than three decades. Problems, however, remain. Rice farming is a risky and no profit business. But for farmers having rice for household consumption is a priority. They feel comfortable if there is still rice to feed their families. With the help of modern technology and the provision of local wage labourers, rice farming does not require labour from all members of the household. This allows for young people—men and women—to leave the village to work in the cities, as construction labourers, house maids, hawkers and vendors, taxi-drivers, workers in factory plants and many others. The incomes derived from such works have helped to lessen economic burdens of the family in the countryside.
