Abstract

The study aimed to point out the advantages and limitations in the process of agricultural land accumulation and concentration and propose some solutions to expand them in the future. The study investigated households and officials and civil servants involved in the accumulation and concentration of agricultural land in Gia Binh district from 2008 to 2022. Accumulation and concentration of agricultural land were concerned and directed by the authorities at all levels. The average land plot area increased; the average number of land plots/households decreased. Production costs are reduced and high-tech production is facilitated. However, policies and laws on land, investment, and job creation for farmers still have shortcomings and limit the expansion of land accumulation and concentration. Proposed solutions include perfecting policies and laws on land and investment; Reforming administrative procedures; Supporting change careers for farmers and applying high technology in the production and consumption of products.
