To proactively overcome the consequences and minimize damage caused by storms, Ninh Binh's agricultural sector has been coordinating with relevant units to focus on directing and guiding farmers to restore production after storms.
In particular, special attention should be paid to the winter-spring rice areas in the stage of panicle initiation and flowering. Priority must be given to drainage. Absolutely do not let these areas be flooded, otherwise it will cause waterlogging and panicle rot.
