Agriculture ministry says delay could reduce the entire year’s harvest. FMTNews China
China’s agriculture ministry says a delay in planting could reduce the entire year’s harvest.
The agriculture ministry issued a notice on Monday advising farmers to wash hands and wear masks, but still prepare for planting and apply fertiliser to their wheat and rapeseed crops. China has increased efforts to contain the virus by putting cities under lockdown and imposing travel restrictions, though the death toll from the coronavirus has now climbed above 1000.
The spring planting, which typically begins in March in the south and April in the northeast region, makes up a large portion of China’s annual grain harvest.
