Under Decision No. 1010/QD-TTg, Binh Dinh province will receive some 1,290 tonnes, while Phu Yen around 84 tonnes.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh asked the ministries of finance and labour, invalids and social affairs to be responsible for reported information and statistics.

The two provincial People’s Committees must ensure the accuracy of statistics, receive and distribute the rice in line with regulations.
