to promptly harvest winter-spring rice and other crops so as to early roll out
production plans for the summer-autumn crop, creating favourable conditions for
winter crop production.The cultivation area for crops with high economic
value should be expanded along with strengthening trade promotion activities

advantages.

agricultural production development in the province, the department said,
