Over 14,660 tons of rice allocated to localities during Tet, between-crop period |
The allocation, delivery and receipt of rice were carried out by regional reserve departments in close coordination with provincial and municipal People’s Committees, ensuring compliance with regulations, proper beneficiaries and intended purposes, and adherence to procedures stipulated in Circular No.60/2025/TT-BTC dated June 27, 2025 of the Ministry of Finance.
Regarding implementation results, for the aid during the Lunar New Year 2026, 100% of the planned allocation - 8,679 tons of rice - has been completed for 11 localities. The remaining 389 tons for An Giang and Lai Chau provinces were expected to be fully delivered on February 13 (the 26th day of the last lunar month).
For the aid during the between-crop period, 1,522 tons have been provided for four localities, namely Lam Dong, Gia Lai, Ha Tinh and Da Nang. The remaining 4,071 tons for Lang Son, Lai Chau and Dien Bien provinces are scheduled for allocation after Tet.
According to the Department of State Reserves, despite tight timelines, wide geographical coverage and numerous distribution points, thanks to close direction from the Ministry of Finance and local authorities, as well as strong coordination among departments, sectors and regional reserve units, rice delivery and receipt were completed ahead of schedule in several localities, including Lam Dong, Tuyen Quang, Cao Bang, Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Vinh Long and Quang Ngai, ensuring sufficient quantity and quality.
Localities promptly distributed the rice to beneficiaries, helping people enjoy a warm and secure Lunar New Year of the Horse and ensuring social welfare during the between-crop period.
