Emergency Ministry Cuts Crop Fire Impact by 98.9% in 2026
The Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management announced that the proactive response plan for the 2026 harvest season led to a 98.9% reduction in area affected by crop fires compared to 2019, decreasing from approximately 85,000 hectares to 939 hectares. The ministry launched an awareness campaign titled "Your Awareness Matters" to strengthen preventive measures among farmers, and response teams were pre-deployed in the most fire-prone agricultural areas. Additionally, 115 deployment points and 460 firefighting units were established, with heightened alertness during the peak harvest period. Despite these positive results, challenges such as equipment shortages and weak communication networks continue to impact response times. This underscores the importance of developing an integrated system that combines prevention and pre-planning to enhance crop protection and reduce losses in upcoming seasons.
