The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development was asked to enhance direction on arranging working delegations, including experts and agricultural extension staff, to the typhoon-hit households and production facilities, guiding them on how to bounce back their production.
Along with organizing environmental monitoring in aquaculture areas to give timely advice to farmers, the ministry must provide them with guidance on selecting suitable aquatic species while strengthening cooperation and connectivity between localities, production facilities, and suppliers of seedlings, food, environmental treatment products, equipment, and agricultural inputs and those suffer damage from the typhoon to help them in their disaster relief efforts.
The minister was also requested to direct competent departments to coordinate with the customs force and relevant sides to facilitate the import of necessary materials for production in case of insufficient domestic supply while handling damaged forests and harvesting timber from the areas in line with regulations. Furthermore, it is necessary to ensure that seedlings, fertilizers, and the workforce are ready to restore the forests when weather permits.
The chairpersons of the People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities bearing the brunt of the typhoon, particularly Quang Ninh and Hai Phong, need to bring into full play production recovery measures, provide farmers with financial support, keep a close watch on the market developments, and join hands with competent agencies to implement price control solutions to prevent speculation, hoarding, and market manipulation.
Meanwhile, localities not affected by typhoons must strive to increase productivity to compensate for the agricultural losses and support others in their relief work.
The Government Office is responsible for keeping tabs on implementing the official dispatch and reporting to the PM and Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on any issues that arise.
