Land Allocation to Corporations: A Boon or Bane for Vietnamese Farmers?

“Where the land is fertile, the birds will flock,” an age-old Vietnamese proverb, holds true across time. Land is an invaluable asset, the lifeblood of generations of Vietnamese farmers. Does the policy of allocating land to corporations truly benefit these farmers? Let’s explore this issue with Xe Tải Hà Nội.

Land Allocation to Corporations: Opportunity or Challenge?

Allocating land to corporations is a policy adopted by many countries worldwide, including Vietnam. This policy aims to attract investment, apply advanced science and technology to agricultural production, thereby increasing productivity, product quality, and market competitiveness.

However, alongside potential benefits, this policy also poses significant challenges, especially for farmers—those directly tied to the land. What is the reality of this situation?

Balancing Profit and Livelihood

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Minh, a seasoned agricultural expert, “The policy of land allocation to corporations is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can bring higher income to farmers through employment and technology transfer. On the other hand, without strict control, this policy can lead to farmers losing their land and facing hardship.”

It’s not uncommon to see farmers in Hanoi’s suburbs, once owners of vast farmland, now working as laborers on their own land. Their income might increase, but it becomes more precarious due to dependence on the corporation.

Ensuring Food Security for Farmers

For the land allocation policy to truly benefit farmers, concerted efforts from all stakeholders are necessary.

The Role of the Government:

• Improve land law, ensuring the legitimate rights of farmers.
• Strengthen management and supervision of corporate activities, preventing policy exploitation for profit.
• Invest in rural infrastructure development and vocational training for farmers, helping them adapt to new production models.
