Some 60 farmers received 30 tons of concentrated animal feed in the Arauco commune, the official said.
The delivery was made after the state of agricultural emergency was decreed the day before for that area, damaged by heavy rains and floods.
In the coming days, the recording of the damage caused in the forestry sector will begin to determine the exact number of people requiring assistance.
Recovery tasks are advancing throughout the country, where there are still families isolated by the overflowing rivers and on Tuesday the delivery of bonuses will begin for those who suffered partial or total damage to their homes.
This Sunday it was reported that in the cities of La Serena and Coquimbo, in the so-called small north of Chile, there are interruptions in the water service due to the turbidity of the Elqui River, the main supplier of the water treatment company.
Meteorologists predicted for this week the entry of another frontal system in the central area of the country, which will mainly affect the Metropolitan regions of Santiago and Valparaíso.
