The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development requests the People's Committees of provinces to strengthen direction and management at the grassroots level; to propagate and mobilize people not to take advantage of cutting and destroying forests. Localities, depending on specific conditions, can apply appropriate measures to confirm the origin and source in the near future, but not create additional administrative procedures that cause congestion in the production and consumption of legal products.
