Hanoi (VNA) - Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan
Phuc has decided to provide seeds from the national reserve to the northern
mountainous province of Ha Giang and the south-central province of Ninh Thuan,
to support people hit by natural disasters and drought this summer and autumn.
He assigned the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development to provide 15 tonnes of rice seeds, 25 tonnes of maize seeds, and
4.5 tonnes of vegetable seeds to Ha Giang, which has been seriously affected by
natural disasters during the year.
Ninh Thuan, meanwhile, will receive 37 tonnes of maize
seeds, 2 tonnes of vegetable seeds, and 600 tonnes of rice seeds from the national
reserve, supporting its efforts to recover from drought in this year’s summer-autumn
crop.
The PM also asked the ministry to take responsibility for
the accuracy of data in its reports on the task.
The People’s Committees of Ha Giang and Ninh Thuan provinces
were asked to allocate and use the seeds in a timely manner in line with
regulations./.
