Vietnam to stock up on pesticides to protect plants
Dec. 8, 2009
The Prime Minister has ordered the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) to stock up on pesticides to protect plants.
According to the director of the ministry’s Plan Protection Department, Nguyen Quang Minh, this aims to control pests and other complicated plant diseases for bigger exports of rice planned for next year.
The department is now checking plant protection materials available in national reserves, and will calculate the amount and kinds of substances that companies should buy.
Those who win the contracts will have to inform MARD of the origins of the imported plant-protection substances for approval.
Minh said the ministry will strengthen the examination of all substances to ensure the country import products of best quality.
Every year, Vietnam spends about US$400-500 million on importing plant protection substances.
