In recent years, Quang Ngai province has promoted land consolidation to gradually form specialized agricultural areas. Along with the State's policies, the province has implemented the socialization of land consolidation with the participation of many enterprises and units, helping to save the state budget, bringing high efficiency; contributing to improving the efficiency of land management, especially for public land areas in localities.
Participating in the socialization of land consolidation, units and enterprises renovate fields, dredge rivers, and form internal irrigation systems for farmers.
To promote land consolidation, in July 2023, Quang Ngai implemented a policy to support land consolidation for agricultural land growing annual crops in the province, for the period 2023-2025 and the following years. At the same time, the province implemented a plan to socialize land consolidation on the land area with full clay collection with the direct participation of enterprises. This policy brings benefits to farmers and enterprises, gradually forming specialized, contiguous, contiguous areas, creating conditions for bringing mechanization into production, reducing input costs, increasing productivity and economic efficiency by 20-25% compared to before. People know, people discuss land consolidation Looking at the straight Cu Ra northern field with a continuous 6-sao field, with a large road leading to it, Mr. Truong Phi Khanh in Duc Nhuan commune, Mo Duc district was extremely happy. It only takes Mr. Khanh four days to prepare irrigation water and plow the new crop, much faster than before. Many years ago, more than 6.3 sao of rice fields in four locations 200-300m apart made it difficult for him to take care of and irrigate, leading to low productivity. Thanks to the local authorities' mobilization and support from businesses, he decided to "consolidate the land together" with the people. He met with the commune and companies to discuss and he agreed. After calculating and excluding the internal road of the field, irrigation and drainage ditches of 90m2, his fields were merged into a large plot of 6 sao. With concentrated fields, irrigation and drainage ditches, and wide roads, Mr. Khanh no longer had to worry about water shortages, crop costs were reduced and rice productivity was higher than before. Before the land consolidation, Mr. Vu Xuan Son's family in Duc Nhuan commune had nearly 2,000m2 of rice fields scattered across the fields in the commune. With the encouragement of the local government and the commitment of the units, he merged small rice fields into large rice fields for his family. Receiving a 1,900m2 plot of land with full infrastructure of internal roads and irrigation water, in the first crop he harvested nearly 1100kg of rice, the profit increased by more than 25% compared to before. Mr. Son shared: The People's Committee of the commune invited people to meet, discussed how to do it, specific measures for each household, so that everyone could produce the same. If people agreed, the enterprise would follow the agreed plan, the commune would supervise. The companies worked methodically, during the period of leveling and not being able to grow rice, they would support each sao with 350kg of rice. My family had 6.3 sao and received 10.3 million VND, so we didn't have to worry about food shortages that season. Since 2020, Duc Nhuan commune, Mo Duc district has implemented land consolidation and plot exchange of 60 hectares, with a support policy of 15 million VND/ha. However, due to lack of funds and many difficulties, the land consolidation work was interrupted. After that, the local government shifted to mobilizing enterprises to bid and participate in land consolidation on the area of rice fields with fully harvested clay. Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Duc Nhuan Commune, Nguyen Vu Trung, said that in order to socialize land consolidation, the commune held meetings to collect opinions from farmers and enterprises to discuss and implement according to the opinions and wishes of the people; with the goal that all farmers can cultivate the fields, enterprises have a source of income and contribute to the state budget. Discussing and agreeing with the people and the government to supervise to ensure compliance with the provisions of the law. The large fields formed are favorable for farmers to cultivate, and the crop seasons are no longer as unstable as before. Effectiveness goes with reality Implementing the policy of supporting land consolidation for annual crop agricultural land in the province, period 2023-2025 and the following years, Quang Ngai fully supports the cost of measuring, adjusting changes in cadastral records and issuing land use right certificates after implementing land consolidation and field improvement; at the same time, supporting 18 million VND for each hectare of field improvement and preparing design documents, estimates, developing plans and support levels. This is a policy for land consolidation areas where clay is not fully collected as raw materials for firing bricks and tiles. At the same time, the province socializes and mobilizes enterprises to participate in improving fields for fields where clay is fully collected as raw materials for bricks and tiles. Through implementation from reality, it shows that the policy of supporting land consolidation for annual crop agricultural land in the province is difficult to implement due to low funding, not enough for field improvement costs. Therefore, many localities choose the solution of socializing land consolidation, with the participation of enterprises and units on the land area where clay is collected. To ensure the socialization of land consolidation, Quang Ngai requires localities to develop plans, clearly defining the volume and budget; the socialization plan must have the supervision of local authorities at all levels and mobilize people to participate. The province advocates implementing socialized land consolidation on 11 fields, with an area of more than 260 hectares, with a total implementation cost of about 42 billion VND. In 2023, the province has implemented land consolidation on seven fields without using the state budget on an area of nearly 180 hectares, with a cost of more than 27 billion VND. Mr. Ha Thanh Vuong, Director of Vuong Thang Construction Company Limited, said: The unit consolidated land on 12.5 hectares in Binh Chuong commune, Binh Son district. Exploiting more than 10,000 cubic meters of clay worth about 1.5 billion VND, the company then built, renovated and arranged the fields and completed legal procedures for the people. Thereby, the enterprise purchased clay reserves as raw materials for firing bricks and tiles in construction. According to Head of Ngoc Tri village, Binh Chuong commune, Binh Son district, Do Ngoc Hoi: Socialization helps consolidate land plots more effectively, people highly agree because the time is fast, the enterprise works according to the wishes of farmers. In rural areas when there are no more young workers, mechanized land plot arrangement is a great help to farmers. Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Quang Ngai province, Nguyen Quang Trung, affirmed that socialization of land plot consolidation is done quickly, saves the state budget, reduces input costs for farmers, increases crop productivity, and has high economic efficiency. Revenue on the fields reached 104 million VND/ha, an increase of more than 20% compared to before land consolidation. After land consolidation, the land managed by the Commune People's Committee is gathered in a concentrated location, creating a land fund for the commune to call for investment, build infrastructure, and community works to serve the people. Vice Chairman of the Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee Tran Phuoc Hien said: The socialization of land consolidation ensures compliance with legal regulations, is systematic, transparent with the consensus and participation of the people, and solves the current funding problem. Currently, localities are doing well the purpose of land consolidation to benefit farmers, but later the province will have land funds to create large model fields to develop professional agriculture.
