Failure to register a license will make it difficult for households with nurseries to sell seedlings in the long term.

Mr. Hoang Quoc Viet, Head of Nghe An Forestry Department said: To improve the quality of forestry varieties, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development issued Official Dispatch No. 1972 / SNN.KL dated July 15 on "strengthening control and improving the quality of forestry varieties".

Controlling the quality of seedlings will help forest planting households promote economic efficiency, and at the same time help seed production households to grow and provide seedlings for a large area. Therefore, the official dispatch of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development also requires the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities to direct the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to strengthen inspection and supervision of organizations, individuals and households trading and producing forest planting seedlings with clear origin.
