Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai has recently approved the
provision of 28 billion VND (1.3 million USD) for the central province
of Quang Tri to mitigate drought impacts.
The Deputy PM requested the Ministry of Finance promptly handle the issue under regulations and collaborate with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) to sum up the financial requirements to limit drought impacts in localities, including Quang Tri.
The MARD has been requested to collaborate with relevant agencies to consider and propose policies to implement crop shifts in coping with climate change.
The Deputy PM also instructed Quang Tri authorities to continue taking measures to prevent hunger and illnesses caused by dehydration.
According to the Quang Tri provincial People’s Committee, the summer-autumn crop’s yield is estimated to reach 18,500 hectares, only 83 percent of the previous years’ yield.
Currently, about 10,000 hectares of rice and 4,000 hectares of vegetables and fruits are facing drought.
