Accordingly, they will receive between 4-10 million VND (180 USD – 450 USD) for each hectare of their affected fish and shrimp farming areas.
The province will also provide 15 kilogrammes of rice per person per month for a month and a half to households with fishing vessel owners or workers who are suffering losses caused by mass fish deaths.
Each fishing vessel will also receive aid of 3.5 million – 5 million VND (150 USD – 220 USD) for suspending their fishing offshore.
The central bank will provide a preferential interest rate on loans disbursed from May 5 to June 5 for the affected enterprises.
