In response to the appeal of Department of Crop Production for donating salinity meters to Departments of Agriculture and Rural Development of Mekong Delta provinces, which serves the accurate monitoring and assessment of water source”s salinity before recommendations on plant irrigation can be given, PetroVietnam Fertilizer and Chemicals Corporation (PVFCCo – producer and trader of Phu My Fertilizer) purchased and donated one salinity meter to each Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Mekong Delta provinces, with the total value of donated gifts of over VND 100 million. This is specialized, modern and convenient equipment with high accuracy.
Mr. Huynh Quoc Viet – Deputy General Manager of Long An Province Department of Agriculture and Rural Development gladly said: “This equipment will help local authorities promptly find out and assess impacts of saline intrusion so as to provide timely preventive methods or proper arrangement of plant and animal structure to minimize any damage caused by saline intrusion and also maintain stable agricultural production for local farmers”.
This is a practical and timely activity of PVFCCo, which actively supports provinces in prediction and active arrangement of suitable seasonal schedule before the saline intrusion becomes serious in Mekong Delta. Due to the impact of climate change, drought and salt penetration in Mekong Delta in the last dry season developed intricately, causing serious consequences to farmers” life and provinces” agriculture.
