Great demand
Land is an extremely important means of production for cooperatives and enterprises operating in the agricultural sector. However, in most effective enterprises and cooperatives, this material is still lacking.
Ho Toan Joint Stock Company's dairy farm (Yen Son) still has a great need for land to expand the farm's scale.
Ho Toan Joint Stock Company, My Bang Commune (Yen Son) is the leading enterprise in dairy farming and fresh milk production in the province. Each year, the company supplies the dairy processing industry with 15.5 thousand tons of fresh milk, ranking among the top provinces in the Northern Mountainous region.
Mr. Le Duc Do, Production Director, said: From the initial 500 dairy cows, the company has now grown to 2,700 dairy cows. The company's capacity and potential can completely double, even triple as it is now, but it cannot do so. The reason hindering the expansion of the farm's scale is the lack of land. According to Mr. Do, because he cannot buy or rent land to expand the barn, the company only keeps a small number of calves born each year to raise a reserve herd, and the rest must be sold because there is no place to raise them. Lacking land to expand the barn, the land area for growing grass to feed the cows is also scarce. The goal set for 2025 is to accumulate 50 hectares of land for growing grass, but currently this number only reaches 10%. And to ensure food source for the herd, Ho Toan Joint Stock Company has to buy corn from the people and purchasing from the people is not always favorable in terms of price and output.
Thanh Tuyen Investment and Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company, located at Group 13, An Tuong Ward (Tuyen Quang City), is also facing obstacles in accumulating land for growing mulberry and raising silkworms. Mr. Pham Trung Nghia, Director of the company, said: The Silkworm Association and many businesses have come to work with the company to order silkworm cocoons in large quantities. However, businesses do not dare to sign, because the land for growing mulberry - food for silkworms is still too small, not meeting the scale for large-scale breeding. According to Mr. Nghia, the company has negotiated with households to buy land, but households want to sell, households do not sell, households only lease for 1-2 years. Mr. Nghia shared: In the same field, some sell, some do not, some only lease short-term, while the mulberry cycle is 3-5 years, businesses do not dare to invest, because risks are inevitable.
There are also many cooperatives that, although closely connected with farmers, find it difficult to accumulate enough land area to be proactive in management and production. Mr. Tran Van Phuc, Director of Minh Tam Cooperative, Tu Thinh Commune (Son Duong) said: Minh Tam Cooperative really wants to have a large, contiguous land fund to mechanize production, improve productivity, quality of agricultural products and increase profits for members and workers. However, when negotiating land lease with people, it is very difficult because some households agree, some do not. Therefore, the cooperative's melon area is still fragmented, each locality, each region has a plot, affecting harvesting and transportation.
Barriers to agricultural land accumulation
Land consolidation is considered the second step after land consolidation and plot exchange to attract individuals and businesses to invest capital, apply science and technology, form commodity production according to the value chain, contributing to the successful implementation of the province's agricultural restructuring project. However, land accumulation for large-scale agricultural production is facing barriers.
Master Tran Thi Binh, Lecturer in Land Management, Tan Trao University, pointed out that: Most of the agricultural land is in the hands of farmers and when the mentality of "the tiller owns the land" is still in the minds of farmers, even if the area is fragmented, small, and has low economic efficiency, they still want to keep it. In fact, many farming households, even though they only have 1-2 sao of land, and they make almost no profit, still try to keep it. In addition, in the current period, many economic and transportation projects are being opened, the mentality of people keeping their fields and yards waiting for the opportunity to receive compensation also slows down the process of land accumulation in many localities, especially in suburban areas.
Son Duong Sugarcane Joint Stock Company (Son Duong) cooperates with households to accumulate land to expand raw material areas.
According to Master Binh, in addition to the above two barriers, there is another reason that is also identified as making it difficult to accumulate land. That is the land market is linked to the labor market, while the labor market is not currently operating smoothly. The majority of workers from rural areas going to the labor market are "informal", meaning there are no taxes, no insurance, no contracts... The instability of the labor market means that the future of workers from rural areas is not sustainable. So even though they no longer farm, they still have to keep the land, consider it as insurance, when facing difficulties, they still have a place to return to production or, in dire straits, they have to mortgage, pledge, or rent it out for money.
Comrade Nguyen Thanh Long, Deputy Head of the Provincial Department of Cultivation and Plant Protection, also raised the issue that is affecting the land accumulation of enterprises. That is, some enterprises have not closely linked with farmers and cooperatives in production and consumption of products, failing to meet market requirements. The number of cooperatives directly producing, processing, consuming products or linking production and consumption with farmers through contracts is still small, unsustainable, the situation of production cooperation without purchasing, or purchasing products at low prices has occurred, reducing the confidence of farmers.
Remove embankments, expand development space
Comrade Pham Manh Duyet, member of the Provincial Party Committee, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, affirmed: The policy of encouraging land concentration and accumulation to improve agricultural production efficiency, apply scientific and technological advances and form specialized areas in the direction of modern agricultural production, specialization associated with the market has always been of interest and direction to the Party and State.
On June 16, 2022, the 13th Party Central Committee issued Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW on agriculture, farmers, and rural areas to 2030, with a vision to 2045. The Resolution mentions the following tasks and solutions: Promoting land accumulation and concentration; developing agriculture towards modernization, large-scale, concentrated commodity cultivation, ensuring food safety based on the application of advanced science and technology, digital transformation, mechanization, automation...
Removing barriers affecting land concentration and accumulation, ensuring the development of modern, large-scale agricultural production, in the Plan to implement Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW of the Central Committee on agriculture, farmers and rural areas to 2023, with a vision to 2045 of the People's Committee of Tuyen Quang province dated April 17, 2023, there is a land policy. In particular, the province focuses on implementing mechanisms and policies to support the development of agriculture, farmers and rural areas related to land such as transferring land use rights, leasing land; contributing shares with the value of land use rights to participate in large-scale agricultural production; flexibly and effectively using agricultural land; best mobilizing resources from land to serve socio-economic development, ensuring national defense, security, social stability, food security, and environmental protection. Effectively organize the implementation of local land use planning and plans, land for the development of high-tech agricultural, forestry and fishery production areas, organic farming areas, national forestry planning; prioritize land funds with business and service advantages to serve the introduction and promotion of agricultural products; develop concentrated agricultural production areas...
The State and the province also have support mechanisms for enterprises investing in agriculture to have production premises as well as supplement some policies and laws on taxes, exempting personal income tax for households participating in land accumulation through the method of transferring land use rights...
The legal corridor is clear, it is important to choose the appropriate form of agricultural land accumulation depending on the characteristics of each locality, in which, authorities at all levels, organizations, cooperatives, enterprises, people... need to participate more strongly to eliminate embankments, form large specialized areas, and improve the efficiency of agricultural production.
Mr. Giang Tuan Anh, Chairman of Son Duong District People's Committee Facilitate land lease for businesses and cooperativesIn an effort to promote local economic development, Son Duong district has been actively implementing solutions to facilitate land leasing for enterprises and cooperatives. Many enterprises have been facilitated to lease land such as: JM Korean Agricultural Products Co., Ltd., Kien Xuong Company. To continue to facilitate enterprises and cooperatives to lease land, the locality has been reviewing and planning land funds in a transparent and public manner. In addition, simplifying administrative procedures and applying the “One-stop” mechanism helps to minimize time and costs for investors. The district also focuses on investing in infrastructure, creating favorable conditions for production and business activities; promoting investment, introducing the potential and advantages of the locality to investors inside and outside the province. Attractive investment incentives and support policies have also been developed to motivate enterprises and cooperatives to invest. Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thap, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Director of Tuyen Binh Forestry Company Limited Green development opportunities Tuyen Binh Forestry Company Limited has been assigned by the People's Committee of Tuyen Quang province to manage 1,721.07 hectares of forest and forestry land. The land is concentrated in 6 communes of Yen Son district and Tuyen Quang city. This is an opportunity for the company to develop forest planting activities, creating large-scale, stable and sustainable forestry production areas. This brings many advantages to the enterprise in building long-term projects, developing synchronous raw material areas and organizing systematic production. Concentrated production forest planting is an important factor helping the company to enhance its management capacity, optimize production processes, minimize costs and increase productivity, thereby creating greater added value for the enterprise. Moreover, focusing on developing large forest areas also opens up opportunities for the company to participate in carbon credit markets, contributing to the green and sustainable development strategy. Mr. Sung Seo Hau, Chairman of Farmers' Association of Xuan Lap Commune (Lam Binh) Need to establish transparent monitoring mechanism Currently, infrastructure such as transportation systems, irrigation... still face many difficulties, which are also factors that make it difficult to attract large-scale production investment. Land accumulation for sustainable agricultural development requires the establishment of a transparent monitoring mechanism to avoid negative situations in the process of land transfer and accumulation. In addition, it is necessary to organize propaganda and training programs to raise people's awareness of the benefits of land accumulation and large-scale agricultural development. It is hoped that in the process of perfecting policies related to land accumulation, it is necessary to consider creating more jobs and stable income for small-scale farmers or ethnic minorities. Ms. Do Thi Xuyen, village 16, Kim Phu commune (Tuyen Quang city) Hope to ensure farmers' rights For each farmer's family, land is very important for production and family livelihood. Therefore, land accumulation must take into account the harmonization of interests of both parties: land contributors and land users, in which, it is necessary to pay attention to the interests of farmers. Farmers are guaranteed to be paid full land rent, not to lose land when there are changes... At the same time, farmers need to participate and become workers on the land that the family contributes to accumulate land together. Along with that, when allocating land to enterprises, individuals, and organizations participating in production, they must carry out the production purpose that has been agreed upon and signed from the beginning to develop the agricultural and rural economy, avoiding the situation of allocating land to then turn it into industrial zones, services, or even building urban areas... |
