Voter Duong Cong Hai, Le Loi hamlet, Nghia Hieu commune, stated that households contracted land from the farm for production, however, they were not allowed to own their contracted land, and they were not allowed to build effective economic models, while production according to the farm's orientation and planning was ineffective.

Also concerned, voter Nguyen Xuan Minh, Trung Thinh hamlet, proposed that all levels and sectors work with Tay Hieu Farm to adjust the production plan, allowing people to raise livestock in the area of ​​orange, lemon, and sugarcane cultivation, creating conditions for people to increase their income, and at the same time, have fertilizer for crops.

In addition to the production plan, some voters also reported shortcomings in collecting fees from the farm. Such as collecting 1.5 million VND/ha for workers who are past working age when they transfer their production land to their children; collecting 5 million VND/ha for households transferring to each other; fines for raising livestock in the assigned production area; contract fees and land rental fees...

Due to many shortcomings, some voters proposed that the National Assembly, the Government and central ministries and branches need to review the current farm system, whether it should still exist or not; at the same time, research the transfer of production land area from farms to local management to hand over to people for production.
