Hanoi (VNA) –Solutions to accelerate land accumulation and experience in the process werethe focus of a workshop held by the Central Institute for Economic Management (CIEM) on November 22.
CIEM Director Nguyen Dinh Cungsaid it is time for Vietnam to promote land accumulation in order torestructure and reorganize agricultural production towards modern and smartproduction on larger scale.
He said many farmer householdswant to transfer the land use rights to others as they want to switch to otheroccupations with higher incomes, but the demand for land use rights is low dueto many regulations limiting the scale of land and the land use duration.
The expert urged measures tofacilitate land accumulation, first of all more flexibility in management ofland use purposes. Taxation should be used instead of the current land limit,Cung said.
In connection with the transferof land use rights, farmers must seek new livelihoods for incomes. Therefore,the development of occupations other than agricultural production must receivedue attention during land accumulation, Cung said, adding that occupationaltraining for farmers is also necessary.
Nguyen Huu Tho, Deputy Directorin charge of the CIEM’s Rural Development Policy Department, said a survey inthree northern provinces of Ha Nam, Thai Binh and Ninh Binh showed the averagescale of land accumulation was 2 hectares. Land is accumulated through fourmain methods, which are farmers leasing land of each other, enterprises leasingland of farmers under direct contracts or through the local administration, andfarmers leasing land through cooperatives.
Tho proposed giving more powerin land management to provincial and district administrations, and abolishing theregulation on the time limit for agricultural land use.
He also called for allowingeconomic organisations and households directly involved in agriculturalproduction to acquire land use rights for rice land on certain conditions.
Nguyen Van Vuong from theMinistry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Department for Crop Productionsaid land accumulation at present mostly goes in the direction of establishingcooperatives based on the old style, which does not have much room for development.
He also called attention to thedevelopment of other sectors in rural areas such as industry, services andtourism to draw labour out of agriculture, thus facilitating the accumulationof land.-VNA
