The use of funds must comply with the provisions of the State Budget Law and related legal documents, ensuring that the funds are allocated to the correct beneficiaries, within the appropriate scope, for the correct content, and at the correct rates.

The scope of support covers activities stipulated in Clause 2, Article 15 of Government Decree No. 112/2024/ND-CP dated September 11, 2024, detailing regulations on rice cultivation land.

The support allocation, for state budget funds as stipulated in Clause 1, Article 14 of Decree No. 112/2024/ND-CP, is allocated to provincial and commune budgets at 30% of the total funding for rice land protection allocated to the provincial budget and 70% of the total funding for rice land protection allocated to the commune budget.

Regarding state budget allocations to provincial budgets, these funds are used to support activities such as assessing the physical and chemical properties and constructing agricultural and soil maps of rice-growing areas on a 5-year basis; repairing, maintaining, and servicing agricultural and rural infrastructure in inter-communal and ward areas; and supporting the purchase of protected rice variety rights. The maximum support for purchasing protected rice variety rights shall not exceed 50% of the actual contract cost approved by the competent authority, but not more than 300 million VND per rice variety, provided it has not received any other state budget support. The remaining cost shall be paid by the organization or individual.
