It can be seen that public agricultural land in Hanoi has not yet promoted its use value, causing waste of land resources and loss of budget revenue. The problem is how to remove the bottlenecks to put public agricultural land into production. This not only helps to avoid waste of land resources but also creates material wealth and jobs for the people.
Redraw the "map"
According to Mr. Nguyen Anh Quan, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment, there are still shortcomings in the management of agricultural public land that need guidance. In the immediate future, the Department requires the commune level to end the situation where agricultural cooperatives, villages and hamlets in some wards and communes manage and lease agricultural public land in violation of the law.
In cases where organizations receive the transfer of agricultural land assigned under Decree 64-CP of 1993 on the allocation of agricultural land to households and individuals for long-term stable use for agricultural production purposes, the leasing of public agricultural land and public land from the People's Committee of the commune level but violations occur must be organized to prepare a land lease dossier and send it to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment for appraisal and submission to the City People's Committee for consideration of leasing land to implement the project in accordance with the provisions of law.
For cases that are not in accordance with land use planning, consider providing guidance on preparing annual land lease records, and at the same time, the organization that is leased land must commit to relocate upon notification from the competent People's Committee when implementing the project according to the planning. The district-level People's Committee prepares records for land recovery and handles violations in accordance with the provisions of law.
According to Mr. Quan, in cases where land cannot be used for agricultural purposes, a report will be compiled and submitted to the City People's Committee for consideration and permission to change land use purposes and sign land lease contracts for use in accordance with the planning and land use plans approved by competent authorities.
As a locality with many shortcomings in the management and use of public agricultural land as mentioned above; to overcome the above shortcomings and difficulties, Chairman of the People's Committee of Son Tay town Ngo Dinh Ngu said that he is requesting the People's Committees of communes and wards to conduct field inspections and inventories and land records. At the same time, statistics, establishment of management records and measures and plans for effective exploitation and use of agricultural land areas used for public purposes in each commune and ward. On the other hand, each plot of land and each location of public land must be made public so that people know and monitor.
The Town People's Committee directs departments and offices to coordinate with the People's Committees of communes and wards to speed up the auction process for leasing public land for plots that meet the conditions; gradually remove difficulties for plots of land with problems in terms of land, especially ponds, lakes, and lagoons for aquaculture; large public land plots with favorable locations for agricultural production...
Referring to the fundamental solution to manage public agricultural land in the area, Mr. Nguyen Manh Ha, Chairman of the People's Committee of Long Bien District (Hanoi) shared that the locality has a large fund of public agricultural land and riverside alluvial land, but the full potential of the land has not been exploited yet. Therefore, the district has developed a Project to manage public agricultural land and riverside alluvial land. Accordingly, the district will redraw the "map" of public agricultural land. In any area that violates the law, the district will delimit it and clearly state the progress of clearing the violation. As for areas without owners or vacant land; based on the planning, the district will direct functional departments to consider factors to re-auction for households to use the land. In particular, in large areas of public agricultural land, the district will organize auctions and develop plans to attract businesses to invest in agriculture to create higher economic value.
Mr. Nguyen Manh Ha added that the district is directing wards to step up inspection and supervision of land management, considering this an important, regular and annual task of Party committees at all levels. The district directs the Fatherland Front and mass organizations to propagate and educate to raise awareness and responsibility of people and communities in complying with the law on the use of agricultural land for public purposes; have specific measures to establish the government's management rights over the area belonging to the public land fund but not yet managed in practice. Localities encourage and create conditions for households that are leased public land to exploit and use the land reasonably and effectively to increase revenue for the lessees, as well as to have conditions to fully perform their obligations to the State, avoiding abandonment and waste.
Unlocking land resources through policy
It is believed that the management of public agricultural land is a long historical story, sometimes assigned to the district level, sometimes returned to the commune level for auction and management. According to Mr. Tran Quang Khuyen, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ba Vi District (Hanoi), in the special case of public agricultural land plots that are interspersed, small, have problems with land, liquidation of assets... the communes should use the basis of successful auction prices of other land plots to determine the price. From there, hand them over to households and units for effective use and have seriously fulfilled their financial obligations during the previous leasing/bidding process.
From the perspective of the grassroots directly working with the contracting households, Mr. Vu Phuong Dong, Chairman of the People's Committee of Giang Bien Ward (Long Bien) cited: The Land Law has regulations, policies are available, but when applied, there are problems because the reality is different from the Law. Therefore, there needs to be guidance to resolve the issue of public agricultural land areas that are currently no longer capable of agricultural production.
"If those land areas can be converted into temporary parking lots or sports areas managed by the commune level, land will not be wasted and the budget will also be collected," said Mr. Vu Phuong Dong.
Expressing concern about having invested hundreds of billions of VND in the Hoa Bay project (Hiep Thuan commune, Phuc Tho) since the land was still wild and eroded 17 years ago but now not knowing what its fate will be, Ms. Do Huong Giang (Yen Hoa, Cau Giay), the project owner, hopes that the State is encouraging the development of agricultural tourism, but this type also needs accommodation, restrooms, rest areas, etc., so she hopes that the city and superiors will have a direction to remove difficulties for tourism projects on public agricultural land, that is, in addition to agricultural production, there needs to be accommodation.
Mr. Pham Quang Thien, Vice Chairman of Phu Lam Ward People's Committee (Ha Dong) suggested that during the process of use, the contractor had invested effort and money to build roads, level the area, create a surface for farming or construct works on the land. The residents' wish is that when the state reclaims the land, there will be a policy to support the previous investment process.
Chairman of the People's Committee of Van Thang Commune (Ba Vi) Le Xuan Phu said that the commune has more than 30,000 m2 of agricultural public land interspersed with agricultural land allocated to people according to Decree 64-CP. Therefore, measuring agricultural public land for auction is very difficult and costly. Measuring both land series together is not possible. If measuring separately, it is very difficult for the measuring unit, and the cost is also very high. A series of tasks must be implemented, a large amount of money is spent on hiring a qualified unit according to regulations, but when collecting money to the budget after the auction, it is very low. The revenue is not enough to cover expenses, so the commune government is not sure how to put agricultural public land into exploitation and effective use.
Struggling to find a solution, Mr. Phu proposed that all levels need to have a mechanism to let localities decide for themselves on public agricultural land plots that cannot be auctioned, then the commune will hand them over to people for agricultural production, promoting the effectiveness of the land.
Based on the above proposals and recommendations, Mr. Dang Hung Vo, former Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, said that if Hanoi does not soon have guidelines to remove the above obstacles, it will cause many consequences in land management. The most obvious immediate ones are waste of natural resources and budget loss.
