The Prime Minister has ordered a nation-wide check on land under the management of State-run farms and forest enterprises.
The move aims to help prevent and handle violations and problems arising during the equitisation process of State-run farms and forest enterprises.
Thechecks will ensure areas of land that used to be under management ofState-run farms and forest enterprises have been returned to localauthorities, which inspectors will also check on allocation of land toState enterprises.
Authorities also plan to improve land use planning and speed up the granting of land use rights certificates and land lease contracts to prevent encroachments and disputes.
A recent workshop addressing problems related to reform of State-ownedfarms and forest enterprises pointed out that violations of landtransfers and leases are common in some State forest enterprises in NgheAn, Lang Son and Quang Binh provinces.
According to statistics from theConsultancy on Development Institute, in 2011, State-run forestenterprises managed to return only about 702,000 ha to localauthorities, making up for more than 63 percent of the planned figure.
The slow progress held back theallocation of land to local farmers, resulting in istes land as farmerseager to expand production are left short of land while inefficientState enterprises had vast areas of land.
Encroachment and disputes among State enterprises and local residents are reported as major headaches in some localities due to loose management after equitisation.
Reports on the land checks must be submitted to the ministries of Natural Resources and Environment and Agriculture and Rural Development by the end of November this year.-VNA
