(Baonghean.vn) - In recent days, the Provincial Military Command has organized the purchase of agricultural products for farmers in social distancing areas to serve the "zero-dong stall" in Vinh city.

Due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, hundreds of tons of unsold vegetables and fruits remain in the vegetable fields of people in Nghi Loc, Quynh Luu, Hoang Mai,... Photo: Trong Kien

The main vegetables are sweet cabbage, mustard greens, stuffed cabbage, cucumbers, and bitter melon. In a good year with good prices, each sao of intercropped vegetables also brings in an income of 10-12 million VND/sao. This year, the vegetables have a good harvest, the weather is favorable, so there are few pests and diseases, but the output is stuck because localities are implementing isolation and social distancing, making it impossible to circulate.

To accompany and share the difficulties with farmers, the Provincial Military Command mobilized philanthropists and military officers to join hands in donating over 2.5 billion VND to purchase and rescue agricultural products. Photo: Trong Kien

Previously, on August 24, when Vinh city implemented a higher level of social distancing than the Prime Minister's Directive 16 to fight the epidemic, the Provincial Military Command coordinated with the Vinh City Fatherland Front Committee and Vinh City Youth Union to set up "zero-dong booths" to serve the people.

Since implementing the "zero-dong stall" to provide food for wards and communes in Vinh city, the Provincial Military Command has mobilized and purchased nearly 75 tons of vegetables, tubers and fruits for farmers in Quynh Luu district. Photo: Trong Kien

By doing this, the Provincial Military Command has achieved the dual goal of both rescuing agricultural products for farmers and providing green vegetables for Vinh city residents during the period of social distancing to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic. Photo: Trong Kien
