The ministry said that central localities need around 5,600 tonnes of rice seed, 225 tonnes of maize seed and 44.2 tonnes of vegetable sapling and seed. Among the figures, 18 tonnes of maize and 10.8 tonnes of vegetable saplings and seeds have been provided.
The localities also need 560,000 doses of vaccines of different kinds and 60,000 litres and 70,000 tonnes of chemicals for sterilisation.
The MARD will report the situation to the government for consideration.
The ministry has called on the donation of agricultural products such as vegetable seed and domestic animal breed, animal feed worth a total VND100 billion (USD4.34 million) from donors to support flood-ravaged areas.
Nguyen Xuan Duong, managing head of the Department of Livestock Production, said that localities have to focus on the sterlisation to ensure the environment for the livestock breeding. The department will cooperate with concerned agencies to provide effective poultry breeding.
