To achieve that result, we have soon developed a production plan and propagated, reminding people to follow the crop calendar and be proactive in production. Currently, people are focusing on plowing, dumping manure, preparing seeds, dredging canals, upgrading internal roads, weeding, making vegetable beds, planting seedlings...".
