CIREBON, West Java: Flooding in Cirebon over the past month has
damaged at least 2,825 hectares of paddy field in the regency, an
official said on Tuesday.

Of the 2,825 hectares, 726 hectares have been totally
destroyed and will certainly suffer crop failures, said Ali
Effendy, the head of the agriculture and plantation office in
Cirebon.

He said more paddy would be damaged if rain continued to fall
in the regency in the coming weeks. -- JP
